Already to dry camp!

DW got up the energy to clean up my Generator Box. Sue re-painted it and had neighbors reinstall it. We try to do that once a year, to keep it looking it's best! I missed not having my hook-up back up camera! Wow getting in and out of several times, to hitch up, gets one wore out! Lol. We also had Yamaha generator serviced, and we are ready to go.

About 350 lbs? 3000 iseb Yamaha and Site Box (toolbox) which has been highly modified with exhaust fans! More than most people want to lift. I have "cables" on each side with visible locks attached to box handles, for the smart thieves. After they cut those, box is firmly attached to truck bed with three bolts underneath tightened from inside box. Note: the hidden pad locks in box lid ! Lol.

Thanks Scott. Took pics of entire project. Be happy to show you how I did it. Box stays cooler inside than outside when gen is running ! If you compare photos below, note: I have since had legs cut off to make it sit lower in truck bed! Camera was necessary to see over box. Now I would not be without the video assistance for hitching! Lol

Now, that is one sweet box! Man, I can not believe what you did to that box. You can run that generator with the top closed and locked? I can't wait to meet up with you, so I can check out your handy work! I'm very impressed. Can you tell. LOL

Not bad for a Ford guy. Sorry, couldn't resist! LOL

Really, I can't wait to see it!
