Suggestions for mounting a generator
We purchased a 2001 TrailLite by R-Vision (B+) recently. There is a space for an onboard generator but not one. So we decided to just purchase a portable invertor generator. We got the P3000 by Briggs...

I have had my 2KW Honda Generator since 2008 and it still cranks on first or second pull on the cord...
Mine is secured in the tail gate section of my truck bed and when I need to use I just pull it out onto the dropped tailgate and point the hot exhaust away from things..
My truck bed is covered with an lockable hard plastic folding bed cover panels (FOLD-A-COVER brand)..
My generator goes where I go and is out-of-sight for the most part except when running and I am around at those times...
Have not had any security issues with it yet doing it this way...
I always thought leaving the generator unattended that was mounted on the bumpers etc would really be a security risk no matter how well you had it secured.
Hopefully you can install yours out-of-sight behind a door or something...
being out-of-sight in my case has kept mine safe over all of these years for sure...
Also being in my truck bed all this time allows for many uses helping other folks out and keeping me out trouble when my Ham Radio runs down my truck start battery etc...
