Generator door with vents
For those looking to buy a 2016 30DS, (assuming all sizes are the same issue) the 2nd generation has proper vents on the gen door, same as 2017 model. Complaints have been made about driving and the gen shutting down while driving due to overheating. Fuel pumps, fuel lines, vaporlock, etc have been inspected and most believe its due to the gen not having proper air flow. In fact some question the gen sucking up engine exhaust or heat from the underside to make matters worse. Louvers, vents, even a 12v fan have been installed on the door as a retro.
If you have this problem, you tube videos on how to install proper screens are out there. Perhaps FR will admit the design flaw and provide you with the proper vented door.
