2.1 LOCATION AND SUPPORT
Be sure the installation complies with all standards and codes
listed in the "Standards Booklets" section of this manual.
2.1.1 GENERATOR
LOCATION
The most desirable location for the generator set is between the
vehicle's main frame members.
Many recreational vehicles have been factory-equipped with an
area for the generator set. Some may even have a generator com-
partment provided by the vehicle manufacturer.
Plan the generator location based on the following:
• The generator set must be installed on a framework that is
part of the recreational vehicle, as outlined in the "Generator
Support" section.
• The location must provide an access opening that is large
enough to permit generator removal (unless the generator is to
be removed from underneath the supporting framework).
• The location must provide easy access to frequently serviced
components, such as, filters, oil drains, and other common
maintenance parts.
• The location must provide sufficient room to allow minimum
clearances for air circulation. If sound insulation is to be
used on the compartment walls and ceiling, the minimum
recommended clearance applies to the space between the
generator and such insulation.
• The location must provide adequate cooling and ventilating air-
flow for the generator, without a great deal of work and expense.
2.1.2 GENERATOR
SUPPORT
The generator must be securely attached to a metal framework that
has been affixed to the vehicle frame structure by bolting or welding.
The metal framework on which the generator will rest, and which will
restrain the generator set, should consist of at least two horizontal
beams. These beams should consist of (a) 1-1/2-inch square,
11-gauge steel tubing OR (b) 1-1/2-inch, 11-gauge angle iron.
The generator can be installed so that it sits on top of the horizontal
support tubing, if the vehicle design permits. Another method is
to suspend the generator below the horizontal support tubing by
means of suitable, structurally-sound metal framework. The fol-
lowing general rules apply:
• Vehicle construction MUST be capable of supporting the weight
of the generator.
• Whether the generator is mounted above the horizontal support
tubing or suspended below the tubing, the supporting frame
used must be structurally sound.
• If the generator cannot be bolted directly to the supporting
frame or support tubing, consider using additional tubing,
angle brackets or other supports to give the supporting frame
sufficient strength.
2.1.3 SUSPENDED
MOUNTING
If the generator will be suspended below the horizontal support
tubing, the suspension method used with the vehicle frame mem-
bers must (a) be able to support the weight of the generator AND
(b) provide sufficient restraint for the generator. One typical sus-
pended mounting system is shown in Figure 2.1. The location of
a suspended mounting system must be carefully planned, keeping
the following general rules in mind:
• Protect the generator against road splash and debris. Baffles or
splash guards may be required to protect certain areas of the
generator. To make sure the generator is adequately protected,
road-test the installation through mud, water, and slush.

• The installer must make certain that the selected location will
permit adequate cooling and ventilating airflow.
