Have you actually measured the clearance under your bed cover? Mine fits easily. I have mounted a couple of small wheels to facilitate rolling it out onto a 2 X 2 piece of plywood on the tailgate. Big advantage is that there is no vibration transferred to the trailer and easier access for refueling and maintenance. I would want to cover the generator if it was on the tank mount.
For lunch or quick nap while traveling, I pull into a remote parking place, drop the tailgate, start the generator, plug in the trailer, and enjoy my AC, microwave, battery charger, just about like being plugged in at a campground.
I don't need to measure it. The cover won't close unless the unit is lying on it's side. Once I fill with gas and oil, that can't happen. I don't even have the wheels attached to it yet because of the space problem under the hard bed cover. Bottom line is it needs to be mounted outside the bed of my truck.
