Project B.I.G. Built-in Inverter Generator
My other thread seeking info on the existence of a commercially available built in inverter generator for a truck camper confirmed that they don't exist. So here goes, I'm pulling the trigger on a DI...

I have quite a pile of left over parts:
The dimensions of the generator, all stripped down are 19" x 15" x 12.5" tall. It weighs 55 lbs. THe plate that came with the camper weighs 23 lbs. By the time I get done with this, I expect to add 65 lbs to the camper.
There are 2 fans, one for the engine, and one for the generator. They both exit the same side, and the muffler is located within the shroud for the engine cooling air. So I got some 12 x 2.25 rectangular duct and made it into a shroud to route all the cooling air out the bottom of the mounting plate and into the atmosphere.
