Thkis has been interesting.
I would like to pose another somewhat related question... What about running a generator in the rain?
I have seen quite a few people do this... It scares the bejesus out of me. I always rig some sort of rain roof over mine,,, but now I wonder if I am being too cautious and maybe those I see doing it know something i don't?
I, along with lots of folks I know in western oregon do this quite often with honda/yamaha's w/o any rain roof, so far no issues. And really the risks are very very minimal and highly unlikely to cause a problem. It's a double insulated system.
However, for those that are concerned and make a rain cover, I can understand the conern, and if it makes one confortable, take that route.
One thing I would say to never, ever ever do is put a running generator under the trailer to keep it out of the rain. Good way to end up with carbon monoxide poisoning.
Now an open frame generator with a ground/neutral bond, that I would be concerned about in the rain.
