I had planned to open the windows on the topper, along with using a fan running off the genny. I just wasn't sure what to do about the exhaust. While I don't believe it will get hot enough to melt the topper this way the exhaust might melt anything in front of it if not diverted.
The main purpose is the "out of sight" security idea. And if we need to run the A/C at night while traveling I'd prefer having the truck and topper locked up. I do have a heavy cable and lock that I use to secure it outside of the truck when we're setup for a few day/weeks. But with it being right at 150lbs I'd rather not wrestle with it everyday while traveling.
Any other ideas of how to handle this are also welcome.
Thanks for the EBAY tip. Hadn't even thought about them, then again I had no idea they even made something like that. Kind of expensive but, it does provide ideas.
