Well, I did it again... To make a long story short I bought another one and my SO was not pleased, said that I was silly...that's how much she knows. She has a weakness for casinos and I have a weakness for generators.
Anyway, since I'm departing in the morning for a 40 day trip I just loaded it in the front compartment of the 5ver and will permanently install it while in Iowa.
Don't worry about that generator fetish here, the last time I counted I had 6 ranging from a small antique 2 stroke Sears to a 12KW that runs off a 30hp tractor PTO.
When I read about you putting it in your forward compartment, although yours isn't fueled, I wondered how many folks might be transporting generators with gas in them in compartments with electrical equipment. These fuel caps are vented and with the constant sloshing would likely vent considerable gas fumes inside the compartment. Some forward compartments like mine also house the inverter and fuse panel. One spark might result in quite a bad day!
Anyone else have any comments on a way to possibly seal these caps from venting when transporting? I've looked at the one on my ELM3000 and from the way it's constructed it looks hard to do.
