Now that my trailer has a large capacity solar sysyem, the only time I use my Honda 2000i generator is for AirConditioning and my wifes hair dryer.I usually haul a pair of Honda 2000i generators in the bed of the truck. Even though the truck has a cap, the dust still gets into everything while on the road.Searching at Home Depot for a solution, with tape measure in hand, I found RUBBER MAID #0141 / #42 (these are the numbers on the bottom) totes with covers.When I put the Honda into the tote they fit perfectly! But the covers had a slight bulge as the generators are about a 1/2" too tall for these totes.A solution was to cut a strip out of the top to accomodate the Honda's handle and then cover with a piece of plywood sealed with Dicor.A couple coats of clear finish and done....Now they are protected during transport, and the totes with the new top make great tables when sitting around camp.....Nice!

At one time, Camping World had luggage like generator bags with an extendable handle, wheels and pockets for generator accessories. They had a cardboard bottom that probably was the reason for dropping the product. I added plywood and better feet to my bags and they work nice now, I can simply roll them to the tailgate and then grab the strap to lower them to the ground. Maybe something like that is available from another source.Weatherstripping is available to help with the dust problem in a capped pickup bed. It is not perfect, but helps a lot.

You need to make the pics a max of 640X480 per forum guidelines.

BTDT years ago with my own EU2000i. Rubbermaid bin #2215 sold both here in Canada and the US is a perfect fit but not quite tall enough to clear the handle. Easy fix - a series of 7 pics start here.

Great mods you have in the photo album. (Washing laundry in the toilet...Not so much!)

Is there any verbiage to understand what you are doing?

Good job!

Of course my Honda 2000 looks like it’s been dragged behind a truck. That’s what $400 on CL buys.

What’s the point of putting a generator in a carrying case? Unless maybe it’s being stored in the camper or truck cab?
Does it not get dusty or dirty when camping, like the truck bed?

I guess I could see it as a security measure, out of sight out of mind type thing but the plywood glued to the Rubbermaid would be out of place for that scenario.
