inverter generator storage during use
What do you use to shelter your generator during camping? If you keep it on the pickup bed, how do you secure it? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

I had our nephew fabricate a metal "carrier", that's what I like to call it anyway. I designed it to slide into the receiver hitch on the back of our Montana. I use a padlock to secure the "carrier" to the trailer, I also designed a bar like device that prevents the generator from being removed. This bar is also secured with a padlock. We used this for the first time last fall on a 5 week trip we took form here in WI out to the west coast, worked great and I had no worries of being stolen.
The "carrier" is built with perforated steel and angle iron to allow for ample ventilation, allowing us to run it while running down the road and pre-cooling the RV before we get to our destination in warmer weather. It worked well when stopping at rest areas and picnic areas at lunch time too. We use a Honda EU3000I in the carrier. I did discover that traveling on dusty roads requires putting the generator in the basement, I didn't want the generator exposed to too much dirt.
