Carl Hansen 37 Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 Greetings! I am planning on purchasing a Honda EU2200i inverter generator for our Elite I and am interested in how best to secure the generator. I am ordering the tongue box and plan to transport it there. I was interested in your thoughts on how best to secure it there as well as when you are using it in camp. Thoughts? Carl Link to post Share on other sites
Ray and Susan Huff 593 Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 We added a locking cross-bed tool box to our pickup. It's actually one that sits down in the bed, flush with the bed rails (not resting on top of them. It's roomy enough to carry our BBQ grill, portable generator, fuel and a small propane tank in it as well as other gear that we don't want to worry about "walking off".

Townesw 96 Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 (edited) Look at a LowPro LockDown. http://lowprolockdown.com/ I don’t have one yet but this is what another forum member uses and it looks like the best solution to me.

Moderators topgun2 1,563 Posted February 5 Moderators Share Posted February 5 Yes, that does look a bunch better than having some cables or chains with big old padlocks. Certainly it will draw less attention. It will be interesting to hear how it works in the real world.

This does seem like a great way to secure a generator but I don’t think this company is still in business.

The facebook page hasn't been updated in ages. http://perfectcasita.com/ was updated in early 2019 but the e-commerce pages are broken on both http://perfectcasita.com/ and http://lowprolockdown.com Really cool product. Maybe the 2020 RV madness will open them back up for business.

Moderators SeaDawg 1,826 Posted February 5 Moderators Share Posted February 5 (edited) Actually, if they aren't in business anymore, I think there are some highly skilled metal shop folks here who could build something similar, from the photos....

Carl Hansen 37 Posted February 5 Author Share Posted February 5 I had the same concern about them being in business. Their concept looks very interesting. Link to post Share on other sites
Townesw 96 Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 (edited) I called Orbital Machine Works, the company that makes this item. The lady that returned my call said that they are still being made, but you put your name on a waiting list and the wait time is currently 1 year.

Jim and Frances 26 Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 As of today, still a 1 year waiting list 😲 and if you want to order one, you need to do it by phone as their website doesn't work for orders. I didn't ask what the current price was as I didn't want to wait the year. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Landrover 328 Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 Here is another option you may look at a rv generator box the company makes aluminum diamond plate Rv generator boxes that are made for small generators and can be run in the box. I’m sure this will fit the Ollie basket then just bolt it down to the basket should be a secure option i can’t link the web site. The web site is rvgeneratorbox.com 1 Link to post Share on other sites
