(on edit) While it's out, and if you'll still have air circulation space around it, put some foil-faced rigid fiberglass insulation on the compartment walls, and make some big rubber washers for the mounting bolts (between gen pan and frame); use blue Loctite and longer bolts, tightened just snug. See the Onan installation manual for details on required clearances. Most MoHo builders cheap-out on generator installation, resulting in a noiser-than-necessary product.
