Fans are CRITICAL if you are putting a generator in a box.
I had cobbled a box together 4 years ago and used muffin fans. Was not impressed with them and changed to a radiator 7 inch fan. worked great. However the box stuck out too far and was too low.
Making a new box now and trying to do it without a fan. Little Honda is running hot. 93 degree day and unit is running 105, measured under the handle on the case. Likely ok but I am not happy with it and not sure if more air needs to come in or I positioned vents wrong??
The old setup with fan would run a few degrees above ambient. - theoldwizard1Explorer IIFans are CRITICAL if you are putting a generator in a box.
- CalicajunExplorerWill the generators get enough cooling, air flow, to keep them from over heating inside those boxes?

Here is another resource.
Still another possibility.
One of our moderators, LLeopold, made a generator box for his but it was some time ago and I cannot find his post right now. You might send him a PM and ask about it.

That pick up truck generator install is outstanding!
