I use a Honda 2000, on a daily basis as a homebuilder. It runs eight hours a day, sitting in the mud, snow or on a gravel pile. It has spent days in the pouring rain, seen a few snow storms, and got peed on by a dog. After three years, the case is banged up a bit, it needs a tune-up and an oil change. As for a rain cover......seriously? Don't forget to knit a little sweater for it too....it's chilly out.

Got it! :)

My Yamaha YG5200D is designed such that it can withstand rain, so I leave it out there. There are many advantages to the better quality "construction" generators that are so frowned upon here.

As long as it's not real windy, a tarp strung up over it does a decent job.

I wouldn't put it under the trailer as the exhaust could find it's way in.
