Man, I like that, we can get some storage back and it will make it safer. Our compartment is too hot the way it is. You did a very nice job. Thank you very much, a picture is worth a thousand words.

I sure would appreciate those pictures. We were a little disappointed that we lost our storage in the front.

Thanks hoefler, I can have a sheet metal shop make a custom box to go around the generator, I have read that the generator only needs 1/2" clearance. Where do you store your 6 gallon tank when you are shopping?

danemayer, I can believe that. There is very little information out there on putting a gasoline generator in a fifth wheel. Most use LP or if it's gas, they already have a fuel tank (toy hauler).

scottyb, The generator and the fuel cell are in a metal gen prep box seperate from the cargo area. The generator came with a template to use for cutting the floor. The fresh air and exhaust are in and out the bottom. My biggest concern has been the temperature of the fuel cell so I put some...

whp, the tank is vented with a port on top behind the fill cap. The vent hose runs up and out the front of the RV and has a screen on it.

Does anyone else have this type of setup with a generator and if so, how has it worked for you? My manual transfer switch. Just gotta remember to "transfer" it.

The fuel cell was $200.00. I bought the fuel cell and generator from my local Onan dealer. I hope 15 gallons will be okay. I do have plenty of room in the frame to put a tank as big as I want and may do that later if this tank is not big enough for how we camp.

Thank you, I am looking forward to their opinions. This tank is a purchased fuel cell with all the proper ventilation and will be hard mounted about 8" away from the generator. Like these: http://www.standardtechn.com/products/rvSystems.html It will be mounted about 8" away from the generator...

Hello, I have been reading this forum for several moths a have learned a lot. This is my first post. I have a 2010 Big Horn 3055 and I am going to install an Onan 5500 gas generator. I have a 15 gallon metal gas tank and was wondering what y'all think about installing it next to the generator...

Can I just make a box that receives my 50 amp cord that has both x and y made hot with one leg? I won't overload either side, I just need everything to work at different times.
