enclose a generator and still give it sufficent air ?
Thinking of mounting my EU6500 Honda generator to outside of truck or trailer. Anyone have any ideas on how to enclose it from weather and still give it all the air it needs?
Forum Discussion
Just spoke with the Honda tech department. He was able to give me some information. The eu6500 draws the air from the front of the generator. As far as the distance from the walls of an enclosure,3 feet on all sides. He also said that people mount the generator on a slide on race trailers and slide it in and out when they are at an event.
I told him my two mounting ideas and he said that Honda doesn't recommend these generators being permanently mounted. I questioned him about the generators being bolted to the slides idea and he said that is what Honda recommends.
My issue with having it on a slide system is that it will still take up floor space in my rv garage area.
I guess one needs to move forward with their own prowess because Honda wont budge to give you information outside of the box. pun intended.
The tech from Honda is a nice guy and all but I think their legal dept has a pretty tight muzzle on them.
