generator install on 19'

hi guys,
has anyone out there installed a genset in a 19' wildwood ?
if so, where did you put it?
I was thinking of installing it under the main rear bed compartment.

Is that area sealed from the main cabin and vented?
How much does the genset weigh and can the floor and supports hold it and not shake apart when it is running?

I decided to install it on my rear bumper. That seems to be the easiest way

Just be sure to fix it so it does not grow legs and walk.
