Roy, what a unique way to mount the Honda generator! I want to duplicate what you have done.
How did you fasten the generator to the base?
I have taken my generator feet off and I cannot see how you mounted yours to the base.
Can you actually run the generator while traveling?

Great images!
Thanks for your time.

Roys Honda generator mount is interesting, but I have my doubts as to whether it'll survive a road like (Arkansas) I-40, Louisana I-10 or a detour we had to take in Colorado, intact.

But then, you may know how I am about bike racks, just a fuddy-duddy. :)

It's a neat concept, but I wonder about what it sounds and feels like when it's running and you are in the trailer. My 2000 does a bit of vibrating on its little rubber feet and I wouldn't want to have to listen to and feel that while I was inside. How does it sound/feel, Roy?

:wave The only thing I don't like about the honda setup is storing the gas on board and how easy it is to overfill the gas tank,noise and viberation hasn't been a concern or has it been a problem. GO ahead and mount it and check it out.(cost 10.$)You may be pleasently surprised.:zz When you put longer 6mm bolts thru the rubber pads,use a jam nut to hold the rubber feet to the honda base(will keep bolts from viberating loose)you can drill small holes thru the bolts and pull a wire thru the 4 bolts to prevent bolts from coming loose also:cheers .Just be careful when threading the new longer 6mm bolts with jam nuts into the honda threads. honda 6mm nuts held in place with plastic clips.:banana

:wave this shows where the 3/8 hanger nuts(extra long) are used to hold the lp tank bracket and how the hanger nut gives you a place to drop thru a 3/8 bolt to secure the honda mounting base and still get to lp valves.:hap2 <img src=http://www.fiberglassrv.com/board/uploads/3e875684186d9base bolts.JPG/> base could be a little wider,notice the honda is allowed to rest on the base.that allows the generator rubber feet to absorb the viberation.:wine
