Generator when camping

I'm new to rpods and generators, but I think Outbound's post pretty well covers it.  I've used my generator once -- last weekend -- so I just read the manual and it says don't run it in the rain.  Depending on how much I wanted electricity, I might put the generator up on something off the ground and tent a tarp over it, making sure to keep the material well away from the exhaust and otherwise giving the engine plenty of room to breathe.

For me in the pod, the generator noise quickly disappeared with an electric heater fan going and other distractions, so while the noise may not bother you, as Outbound said too, be sensitive to your neighbors and obey campground rules regarding generator hours.

Whatever you do, don't run the generator in, under, or with the exhaust aimed at the pod, or in your tow vehicle.  Carbon monoxide ain't no joke.

Still learning tons about this stuff so please be kind to the newbie...

When using a generator while camping, where do you typically put it? Do you have to have it out of the weather?

Just trying to figure these things out...
