I have an issue, that I would like to get some input about. Earlier I was wondering about a generator problem of being out in the elements and such. But I have somewhat come to the conclusion that with the small space of the cargo rack of my small trailer, there was not a good way of protecting it. So I have decided to just leave it uncovered.
So, now I have put a lexan bottom on the carrier and have just strapped and cabled it to the carrier. As you can see from the pics, I have made up a heavy duty extension cord that runs from the generator and zip tied to the frame to the electrical connection on the trailer. So that if I need to run the generator while on the road, or just need to heat up a dinner, or make some coffee, or heat up some water for bathing in the microwave I can just go out and pull the rope and start it up without having to unstrap and unlock it to move it away from the trailer.
Now.....I was wondering if that would be safe as far as carbon monoxide is concerned. As you can see in the pics, the exhaust is pointed to the side away from the trailer, and over 5 1\2 feet from the window. And of course the trailer would be out side and not in a garage as pictured when running.
