bestbowl Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 I was told that a Honda eu2000i would fit "no problem" into the empty generator compartment on my 94 Toyota/Winnebago Warrior so I picked on up for a grand and now I'm stuck... Anyone have any ideas on hoe to make this fit without spending another grand on a welder to completely re-fabricate the generator storage compartment to fit this sucker?

Dolphinite no longer here Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 How close to fitting it in are you? If height is the problem, you will gain a couple of inches by cutting off the handle with a hack saw. Makes the generator a little clumsy to move around, but it might be better then doing the sheet metal work. You could always drill some holes in the leftover handle stubbs and thread a rope through the holes to form a collapsable handle.

I only need two inches on the height. The handle elimination would work but it would be ghetto ;-) ghetto.tiff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troyrobo Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 you should have measured before you purchased------not all of these compartments are the same size----they vary from one make to another. just my 2 cents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is MUCH cheeper and MUCH quieter than the Onan+ installation so it was really the only option. I was just hoping it'd go right in. That's what I was told.

Maineah Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 What's above the compartment? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bestbowl Posted July 24, 2011 Author Share Posted July 24, 2011 What's above the compartment? Less than an inch of clearance to the bottom of the pullout couch/bed. The only option would be to drop out the bottom as there is more than a foot of clearance between the ground and the bottom of the box. I am just not familiar or sure of how to do this or what tooling to use. I have been quoted between $500.00 and $1000.00 from welders which I am sure is 99% labor and over charged 10 times especially because they say they won't even be welding it because it is not weldable material.
