Storing generators when traveling?

[Freeborn530]

Recently acquired two Yamaha portable generators. I have a crew cab truck and usually keep propane grill, chairs in the back ... Should I keep the generators in the camper when on the road, for example stopping for shopping? Or in the back seat area covered by tarp?

Hi Keytag1,

That doesn't always work. I tried a front mount and the engine ran about 20 F hotter, getting up to 227 F.

I did like how the ride improved.

Both ideas will have gasoline fumes issues.
I carry my Honda 3000 of front hitch and not only that solves all safety issues, but also helps in keeping COG more forward.
