For those of you that have portable generators where do you put them when you travel?

Yep, same location. Instead of a chain I have looped a cable through the rails of my 5th Wheel mounting brackets that are attached to the bed of the truck. I can also secure bikes with this application when the generator is not in that location. If you have a hitch installed to the rear of your coach you can attach a box back there. I believe you can find the ad in the back of Trailer Life.

In the front storage compartment on a slide out tray. Works very well for me.
