Poor man's build-in generator for long box AF865/811(?)
It turns out there is a generator(A generic chinese brand. Comes in many name in the states, earthquake, sportsman and homegear) that can fit in the long box of Arctic fox 865/811(?).

I cut the bottom flap with a reciprocating saw into multiple pieces and just introduce metal fatigue with pliers by wiggling the extruded pieces, took out the generator covers, and cut the handles on the generators (probably not needed, but I was desperate to get it in). Then I cram it in panel side first upward and just turned it to face the start pull outside.
and there it is! nicely tucked inside the safety of my camper. 700W wont run the microwave/AC but my LiFePO4 battery/inverter can. It is just there for backup in case solar doesn't pan out. I cannot believe it worked out so well at the end.
It does need extra fan to assist combustion. But the generator does come with 12v and 5v. I will rig some 3dprinted part + brushless DC Fan and embed them into the door later.
