On my Onan the bottom of the compartment is pretty open and I assume that's for ventilation. The sides and top are enclosed, but the bottom is vented pretty well. I see that yours looks like there is no way to pull air in other than the door. I would think you'd need some way to pull outside air in, then over the generator, and out the door.
If you ran it like that the compartment would be an oven in a pretty short period of time.
Your Onan pulls air in from the front vents with a fan that's part of the motor. The hot air flows out by the muffler and exhaust pipe through a large opening in the bottom of the compartment. This keeps the air in the compartment at a reasonable temperature.
