Reflection 5th wheel generator storage
We have a Westinghouse Igen4500, can I put that in the front storage compartment for travel? I see a lot of wires and things in that front compartment, what exactly is that meant for?

We have a Champion 3500W. Since we are not FT, ours lives in our garage and we put it in the pickup bed when we need to take it with us

We are looking at doing that with our Champion 3400 Watt Dual Fuel Inverter Generator. The problem is the metal bottom will need to be reinforced. Also the genny is almost 100 lbs, so I plan on welding two 2" angle iron across the bottom, then bolt two 5"x2" box aluminum tubes to that,binside the compartment. Then bolting a custom sliding shelf to the aluminum boxes so I can get the generator in and out of the compartment.

You will have to pipe the exhaust out and away from the coach if you will be running it in the compartment.
I'll post the links to the company in buying the steel and aluminum from, and the company that custom makes the sliding shelf.

EDIT:
Here are the links:
Hot Roll Steel Angle
6063 T52 Aluminum Rectangular Tube
AM2 SLIDE
For the angle steel, I am buying 2 - 2"x2"x3/16" at 6' lengths.
For the Aluminum Rectangular Tube, I'm buying 2 - 5"x2"x0.125" at 2' lengths.
The angled steel will be welded to the frame (side to side and about 16" apart), underneath the compartment, shoring it up to carry the weight of the generator. The rectangle tubes are being bolted to the angle iron, from inside the compartment, to create a platform that will just clear the bottom of the compartment door. The sliding shelf gets bolted to the rectangle tube. With this configuration, and with my measurements, the generator will clear the top lip of the compartment by approximately 1/2", and the sliding shelf will clear the bottom lip by approximately 1/4".Last edited by MoonShadow_1911; 06-04-2021 at 08:00 AM.
