Hi All, we are currently heading home from the Black Hills to Michigan in this boiling 90F+ weather. My Dad has a '73 CanyonLands with a modified generator compartment. His original wood compartment had to be slightly altered to accept later models' flexsteel furniture. He has installed foil coated insulation around the generator and hasn't experienced any issues while using the generator during driving. However, if we go into a restaurant, he insists that the generator drawer is pulled out to keep things cool. I think for the 1-1.5 hours that it runs, we can keep it tucked away (and avoid the unsightly look of a noisy generator running outside of the vehicle).

Basically, is my Dad correct that the drawer needs to be pulled out while parked? Also, my brother has a '76 and I have a '77. Both our comparments have the insulated fiberglass compartments. Do we need to pull the generators out if running while parked? Thanks for any experiences shared!
