Biggest issue is the possibility of theft. You need to make sure (even when the generator is running) that it is secured. I've read stories where RV'ers have had their portable generator stolen while it was running.

We found a Ryobi battery operated fan that lasts about 8 hours on a single charge. Plus using our fantastic fan vents to help move air. We have 4 12v Marine batteries to power the fantastic vents all night. Front one is sent to suck in air and rear vent is sent to exhaust air.
