Our ATC 28 front bedroom has same size 5.5 mounted on the tongue. They enclosed it with a metal cover but its not internal to the coach. So far no issues.
This is one FEATURE I really like. No worries whatsoever about exhaust and heat. Though even like a conventional rv I was thinking if I get an ATC I would add a radiator fan somewhere in the box to aid in airflow. In Texas on 100 degree days, more air movement is needed.
HVAC how about inside noise, do you think it's less than a coach mounted generator?
We did run it for 5 hrs in outdoor temps in mid 90s and no issues. The 5.5 is a smooth running twin, and the mounting alongside the integrity of the coach really isolates the unit. Its impressive how well it all comes together. Not sure a fan is needed. Possibly heavier weight oil if in continuous extreme heat.
