GenTent 10K Generator Tent Running Cover - XKI Kit (Standard, TanLight) - Compatible with 1000w-3000w Inverter Generators

Good product

I bought the cover for my new generator but, unfortunately , I have not been able to used it yet as we have not (as the weather people say in Florida) experienced inconvenient weather yet. It attaches very easily and quickly so that was impressive. Seems to be durable and well made.

easy to assemble

The bad: Unless you have a buddy or a large family, putting the strap around the generator is an exercise in frustration. Camping alone? Hope you've allowed enough time to set up the gen tent before the rain. You won't be able to do it in the rain or in the dark. If you have severe OCD and think your ratchet strap will be untwisted and neat doing this alone, you will be wrong and breaking out in a cold sweat.The Good: I bought the extreme version. The cover is thick and seems well made. One you've managed the strap, the rest of it assembles quickly and with no drama. As you can see from the pictures the tent and the extended flap for the electric panel cover the generator well enough to keep the bulk of falling precip off the unit. Wind blown or sideways rain may creep onto things, but for most rain events, I'd say this will work.

I have this installed on a Honda EU7000iS. The installation was easy as long as you carefully read all the instructions first. The strap stays on the generator full time unless you need to open the cabinet. Then its a simple release of the ratchet strap. Assuming you leave the strap on the generator full time, installing the mounting points, rods and the canopy is about a 3 minute job, which is nice when the time comes to use this out in the weather. I let this sit outside on a windy day with 40mph gusts and it didn't move. I was easily able to position it so it protected the generator from above while allowing for exhaust and ventilation. So from a standpoint of functionality, it's a great buy....however...I knocked off 2 stars for 2 reasons...1) Price. For what this is, it's extremely overpriced. Considering this is a ratchet strap, a piece of heavy duty vinyl, and a bunch of molded plastic, It should come in at under $100.2) For the price I paid (roughly $180 for the "Extreme" version), the seller should at least have included the optional storage bag and a clear control panel window (note to consumers - the clear panel pictured in the photos is not what you get in the box. you get an opaque panel). I see those two items listed as "optional accessories" on their website and would cost an additional $40 via their website, but at $180 for just the cover, this is nickel & diming the consumer.
