Cummins Generator Tent by GenTent®
Cummins Generator Tent by GenTent is designed for compatible Cummins Onan portable generators, with cover options for open frame portable generators and fully enclosed inverter generators. Each cover helps keep the generator outdoors in storm conditions while protecting key electrical areas from rain and snow.
GenTent products are independently tested for fire resistance, wind, snow, airflow, cooling interference, and CO sensor compatibility. Testing confirms GenTent can work with generators equipped with G300 or UL2201 carbon monoxide shutoff systems while maintaining proper airflow and allowing built-in safety sensors to detect CO accurately.
Always run your generator outdoors, at least 20 feet from doors, windows, vents, garages, porches, and occupied structures. Keep exhaust pointed away from the home and use working carbon monoxide detectors indoors. CO shutoff sensors are an important backup, but they do not replace safe outdoor placement.
GenTent proudly develops running portable generator covers for OEM generator manufacturers under our Covered by GenTent program. This initiative gives equipment manufacturers an easy path to participate in a proven, growing, and safety-critical category.

Cummins Generator Running Covers FAQ
Yes, with the correct Cummins Generator Tent by GenTent® and safe outdoor placement. Cummins Generator Tent running covers are designed to help protect compatible Cummins Onan open frame portable generators and fully enclosed inverter generators from rain, snow, sleet, and wind while maintaining natural cooling airflow and exhaust clearance.
All portable generators should be operated outdoors and away from doors, windows, vents, garages, porches, decks, and any enclosed or partially enclosed space. GenTent recommends operating portable generators at least 20 feet from any opening to your home or living space, with exhaust directed away from occupied areas. Learn more from our Portable Generator Safety Tips page.
Yes. Cummins Generator Tent by GenTent® is designed to support airflow and exhaust clearance during outdoor operation. GenTent has been tested with generators equipped with G300 and UL2201 carbon monoxide shutoff sensor systems, helping the generator run properly while allowing built-in CO sensors to detect carbon monoxide accurately. A running cover does not change safe placement rules, generator operating instructions, or the need to keep exhaust directed away from people and structures.
Cummins offers a portable generator running cover for compatible P9500DF open frame generators and an inverter generator running cover for compatible P4500i and P4500iDF fully enclosed inverter generators. Use our Advanced Fit Finder Tool to confirm the best fit for your exact generator model.
Installation depends on your generator style. Cummins open frame running covers use a clamp-based mounting system for compatible open frame portable generators, while Cummins inverter running covers use a strap-based mounting system for fully enclosed inverter generators. Review the Cummins product page or manual for your specific cover, or visit our installation video guides.
