Also how about a shot from underneath to see how it is mounted and routed.

Any problem with heat generated by the generator? Our first outing (in the front yard) killed off a nice square patch of the lawn directly under the generator.

Hey Doc,

It is a 4x4 post and about 4.5 feet in length...I think.

I wanted it to be accessible, so I played around with a lot of configurations. I do have a spare tire mounted under the coach (DW insisted).

The post has a nice pitch. I drilled a few holes on the sides and on the bottom to help with drainage.

I used some simple metal strips to secure it.

I haven't had any issues with heat...yet. This was one of my concerns. I haven't really used the generator for long periods of time.

I was thinking of using some high temperature black tape. I think this could work - wrap the section of the post behind the generator. Another idea floating in my head was wrapping a thin metal sheet around the post...spray it black and done.

For now, the mod appears to be holding up. If the mod fails...than it's another opportunity to tinker!

Doc...have any remedies for Tinker Disease?
