I have been working on my "doghouse" for some time now and am finally at the point that I'm quite pleased with the results and wanted to share my story here on this thread. First off, a thank you to everyone who has contributed to this thread so far. I learned a ton here and without this knowledge, I wouldn't have even known where to start!
My generator is a PowerMax XP4400 that I bought a few years ago for home use in case of a power outage. I never really considered using it for camping until I came across this thread. After doing a bunch of reading here, I decided to give it a go.
My objective was pretty simple - use my existing generator and house it in such a way that it would be reasonably quiet for campground use. It would sit in the bed of my pickup when camping and still be usable for home use when not camping.
I will first show you what I have today and then go into some of the previous "versions" and the mis-steps along the way.
