[George's Coco Address]

I did build a container for it.. a tiny shed, just large enough to contain 
it, the battery and fuel tank.  I just didn't consider the conditions that 
may arise.

I can change things to facilitate a better way to do these tasks of 
refueling, starting and stopping it without changing the tiny shed(housing).

This gen-set is designed to be installed in a motor home, so it does require 
an enclosure.

Okay, so my brain wasn't working well when I installed it

I've made worse mistakes
