YEP, that and the alternator ducting are essential. It appears you are using an automotive radiator or transmission cooling fan. I see what appears to be a holder for a battery (battery removed), so I guess your genny is electric start? What are you powering the fan from?

Have you been able to make some metered sound level measurements yet, or are you just using your ears?

What temperature are you seeing inside the box vs. outside temp and load? I prefer to measure the temperature just below the exhaust fan.

Yes, it is an electric start gen. The battery is only removed because it died. I need to buy a new one, as this will make starting the gen with the cover in place much easier!

The fan is an automotive radiator fan and for testing, I've been powering it off of the camper's battery. I plan to look for a transformer/rectifier now that I know I like this fan.

I don't have a meter, but to the ear, the sound is substantially decreased, probably on par with a Honda inverter.

I need to do more testing, but I did measure 100 degrees at the fan outlet on a 70 degree day. Next I'll be taking temperature readings inside the box.
