where to put the gennie?

Shortly after buying my second Yamaha ef2000is, we had a heavy duty thunderstorm and massive downpour that just kept going and going. The Yamaha ran for almost 24 hours under an outdoor table that did little to stop the rain (table top was not one solid surface but a series of parallel boards).

Eventually I had to get a cinder block for the little guy to sit on, as my back yard started to flood.

long story short: don't worry about a little rain, it's an outdoor generator, and although they'll never admit it due to liability, it's designed to run in adverse conditions.

Put it under the tailgate of the truck. Or cut a half sheet of plywood and put in down in the bed of the truck. If it rains, pull it out and set it on top of the generator. I use one of those small white folding tables and put the generator under it. Don't put it under the trailer.

When I have my generator, the same model as yours, I usually have a piece of plywood about 4'x4' with me. I use the plywood clamped to the rear bumper as a rain shield and get the generator a short distance from the trailer. I also have a smaller piece that the generator sits on. I could also leave it in the truck bed since I have a tonneau cover and leave the tailgate down. The other option I have is my homemade genturi, which works like a dream. I would never trust the CO detector.
