DuroMax Running Covers by GenTent® — FAQ
Yes. GenTent covers are engineered to keep your DuroMax running safely in severe weather while maintaining airflow and service access. Always operate your generator outdoors and at least 20 feet from buildings, with exhaust pointed away from occupied spaces.
Original Size—the most common fit for open-frame DuroMax units and robust square-post frames using our Universal Clamp System (no tools, no drilling). Typically covers ~3,000–13,000W open frames and many larger units with standard frames.
XL Size—for the largest open-frame generators and large fully-enclosed inverter cases. Choose XL when perimeter/case size exceeds the Original range.
- Right fit for DuroMax XP15000HXT and above: Original Size DuroMax Generator Running Cover using the Universal Clamp System.
- Fully-enclosed inverters: choose the Strap-mount (Original or XL Inverter) based on case size.
Not sure? Use the GenTent Advanced Fit Finder for a precise recommendation.
No adapters and no drilling. GenTent engineered the Universal Clamp System to adapt to DuroMax’s robust square-post and blocked-post frames—no tools needed. Install is quick, secure, and preserves your generator’s frame.
