I purchased a Honda EU2I for the Avan. I want to put it in a ventilated cupboard and run the exhaust into another pipe and down about 250 mm under the van.(Between the van and the box.)
I was thinking of a pipe twice the size of the outlet holes in it encased with metal with s/s wool in the space between the pipe and the outer casing.
Is a extended exhaust pipe twice the size of the Honda exhaust large enough?
Has anyone done this successfully?
The generator will be generously ventilated in a compartment.
Thank you

Several options you may consider before box.
20 metres of 240V cable works especially if you put the genny behind - trees, banks, cardboard ect to shield the diect sound
be careful with the box re cooling air in or cooling out - as stated above vents allow sound out as
well as air in/out.
shielding the direct "noise" (ie line of sight) and REFLECTED noise is the secret as
well as absorbing any noise emitted nosie where possible ie acoustic tiles etc.
However to box it you could have a larger inverted box over an upright box with exhaust and mountings through upright box. Have adequade insulation inside boxes with air agp should do the trick.
You can mount to upright box and have waterproof inverted box as lift off for refulling/ starting etc.

I'm not worried about the noise for an hour, just other campers may complain.
Thanks for the ideas in the think tank.
the top hinges open for refuelling.
