Troll,

That looks a great idea for transporting your unit, but it also looks like you have an exhaust extension to run it in that box.

With the hot engine cooling air blowing down into the box, the "cool" air pickup ducts are going to be recycling very hot air and that little motor is going to fairly cook.

I bought a Honda 10ui, and was told by the dealer that running it on fairly high load in around 35+ deg. ambient (which we do) will destroy that motor. Three years on and it using quite a bit of oil.

As it is I should have bought a 20ui, I run a 30a. battery charger plus up to 500w. of lighting when we have a "camp out".

They are a great product though, and so quiet till the eco throttle kicks out!

G'day Furph,

Yeah I do run it in the box with the lid up mainly – it’s been OK. I was also concerned initially about the heat but after a couple of trips I’m less concerned. There is a fair bit of heat generated but it seems to be able to get out OK. A week on Fraser we had some rain as well and I had the camper tonneau cover over the boat rack then over the box. This also worked because the box was open and there was room for air to circulate.

I take your point though.

Kind regards

Will be perfect if I had a trailer :)

Why not fit a 12V fan to the box, plugged in to the generator's 12V outlet?

might be the way to go thanks Matt
