well, like every year we go to cruising the coast, the property we use has no power, so we need a gen set to run the pop up lights and everything else, with the motorhome only having 3 outlets on the out side their aint enough to run everything nor is one big enough to run a pop camper (need a 30rv plug)
so we have to have portable gen set for that stuff, and we know they are lound and most thend to be the gen its self making the noise not the exhaust note from the engine
i was getting tired of the racket, and raided a dumpster for plywood and leaned it up on all sides leaving a big hole on the muffler side for exhaust to come out and enough room to let air in to cool the engine and gen set and it was like night and day
so now that im home i building a portable shelter/sound box for it
it will be 1/4 ply wood with blue dow r4 styrofoam sheets inside, have a big hole on the back side (about 50% of the back) for ventalation for fresh air and lets exhaust out, it will just sit over the gen, put chest handles on it to install and remove it to cut off gen set or add gas and what not, a hole in one side for cords covered by a small rubber flap to help "seal" it
its pretty much the same principal as the storage compartment for a motorhome, it has an open bottom in its case for air...... its quiet inside the coach and outside, but if your outside and open the compartment door it gets LOUD
i think this will work good
IDEAS & THOUGHTS, GOOD OR BAD ARE WELCOME
