GenTent Generator Running Cover Plus (Grey) - Weatherproof Protection

In this review of the GenTent Generator Running Cover - Inverter Kit (Plus, Grey), the bottom line is straightforward: this is a practical, weather-focused running cover for owners of fully encased inverter generators who need reliable protection while the unit is operating outdoors. The Plus edition stands out for adding UV treatment and an extreme cold weather rating, so the cover not only keeps rain and snow off electrical areas but also resists sun exposure and performs in freezing conditions. It is designed to let the generator run with natural cooling while keeping sensitive components dry.

Key Features

• Waterproof construction: Sheds water away from the generator to protect sensitive electrical areas during heavy rain or snow.
• Plus edition upgrades: Adds UV treatment and an extreme cold weather rating for longer life in sun and freezing temperatures.
• Large refuel door: A generous access door lets you refuel without removing the cover, reducing downtime and exposure to the elements.
• Patented airflow design: Maintains the generator's natural cooling airflow so the cover does not impede operation while running.
• Wide fit range: Fits fully encased inverter generators with perimeters from 40'in to 120'in, covering a broad range of popular models.
• Strap mounting system: Uses the GenTent strap system to attach securely to the generator case, improving stability in wind and snow.

Who It's For

The GenTent Plus running cover is best for homeowners, contractors, and RV owners who regularly run a fully encased inverter generator outdoors and need reliable protection from rain, snow, sleet, ice, and wind while the unit is operating. If you want a cover that preserves cooling airflow and offers UV and cold-weather durability, this model fits those needs.

Shoppers with open-frame generators or very small lightweight models should look elsewhere, since this cover is specifically sized for fully encased inverter units with a perimeter between 40'in and 120'in. Those seeking the cheapest possible temporary tarp may also prefer a lower-cost option, but will lose the engineered airflow and refuel access this cover provides.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Effective protection from rain and snow that keeps electrical areas dry and reduces weather-related downtime.
• Plus edition's UV treatment and extreme cold rating increase longevity in sun and freezing climates.

Cons
