Running a generator
I have been knocking around the idea of buying a generator for home primarily but it would be nice to be able to use this when we boon dock as we travel for AC(mostly overnights at Walmart) My concern...

I made a box to put over mine with an attic fan. When closed, you can barely hear it. I only use it once a year at a 4 day outdoor m usic fest with no hookups.
Could you post some pictures?
Sound very interesting
Thanks,Mike
It's not the smallest contraption, but about $40 in material (most I had laying around) I turned my $250 generator into a $2,500 generator. The guy next to me had one of those Honda IU ones. I would say it was on the same level as far as sound. Obviously quite a bit larger though.
the Attic fan I had laying around, the plywood and hinges were the only items I needed to buy. The key is to make it so the sound has to change directions. The baffles allow air in and out, but the sound really gets muffled.
This is a 5KW generator which was large enough to run my pop-up and it's AC without much effort. 5,000 watts should be 40 amps @ 120 volts. I haven't tried it with my TT yet.
