3000i

Can you run a portable generator in an enclosed compartment?

You can if it's a Honda 3000i, and probably others as well. My remote start Honda has given me well over a couple hundred hours from inside a box. The box/generator used to be on my camper tongue, now it's on the roof of my boat.

The grill is the front of the generator and also air in. The round cover is for emergency pull start.

The top hatch opens for access to the gas tank.

This is the exit/exhaust side - through the louvers. The round brass thing is an old heat sensing alarm that came with the house, but you can see it's not really necessary - the louvers are not even discolored from excessive heat.

Here's how we fill the generator without using a gas can.
