I bolted our Champion onto the generator slide but I had some 1/2" styrofoam SM so cut a couple strips and the generator sits on them. Even with through bolts it works pretty good and is quieter than bolted straight to the metal. I ran it for a while this morning and I was working around it and the other side and it was not too bad, not like I needed ear protection like some claim...
You got a fantastic deal on it. I thought I did pretty good for our 3500/3000 for $289.00 but would have really liked your deal. Oh well you happened to be to the right place at the right time.

Someone had returned because they thought it was to noisey. I guess they never listened to an Onan running in a moho! LOL It even had a full tank of gas, havent decided where it will reside. Maybe under the back on a hitch cargo carrier, or maybe on the front. Either way, it will be bolted down and inside a sound deadend box to make it quieter. It will also be used on the ranch, being in the boondocks where we are, we sometime go without power for a couple of days after a big snow storm. There is only 1 electrical feed to our canyon and trees like to take it out in the winter.
Make sure you provide adequate air flow for your "sound deadened box" - or it may well be the sound *dead-end* you indicate! -
Resulting in a strikeout rather than a home run..
See the (many) posts about sound deadening in the "3000W Chinese Gensets Info" for ideas & techniques.
