GenTent Performance Demonstration Videos
GenTent Hurricane Performance
This video was taken in 2017 during Hurricane Irma, which achieved sustained Category 2 Hurricane force wind strength (95-110 mph) over most areas here in Naples, Florida. Even in these extreme wind and rain conditions, this GenTent inverter kit stayed attached to this A-I Power fully encased inverter generator.
GenTent Snow Performance
This video was taken in 2026, during Winter Storm Fern, which caused extended power outages for millions of Americans and dropped 19 inches of snow here in Brentwood, New Hampshire over two days. This timelapse was captured throughout the duration of the storm and is a perfect example of how GenTent is designed to withstand and shed heavy snow loads, withstanding even the toughest winter weather.
GenTent Wind and Rain Performance
This video was taken in 2018, as part of YouTube channel LoveYourRV's review of the GenTent Stormbracer inverter kit, utilizing the GenTent strap mount system. LoveYourRV tested our inverter kit in several common use cases, including leaving it overnight in soaking rain, and culminating in bringing his setup to a bluff known for high winds during an intense Pacific Northwest storm. His Champion inverter's electrical panels stayed dry throughout testing and his GenTent stayed attached even in the high winds of the bluff.

GenTent Rain Performance
This video was taken in 2011, during the Hurricane Irene. Showing a prototype of the GenTent with sheets of rain pummeling the covered generator; the GenTent remains stable and dry throughout the storm.
GenTent Snow Load Performance
This video was taken in October 2011, during blizzard like conditions. Snow was heavy and brought down trees wiping out power to millions in New England. The GenTent was still in prototype phase and stood up to the test! Snow accumulation was minimal GenTent due to the sloped design, and all sensitive areas remained dry.
GenTent Snow Load Time Lapse
This video was taken in Winter of 2016 - 2017, during blizzard like conditions. With both the GenTent and Champion Storm Shield, snow accumulation was minimal GenTent due to the sloped design, and all sensitive areas remained dry. The GenTent featured also displays our GenSkirt storage option.
GenTent Protecting a Running Generator in Simulated Rain
This video shows a portable generator being drenched, while protected by the GenTent, and powering an electric saw. Water is purposely directed to the engine, battery and genset (the long cylinder piece that actually generates electricity) and shows that its performance is unaffected by direct and continuous water. The electrical outlets remain dry throughout this test.
Disclaimer: What you are about to see was done under careful conditions. Handling electricity and water at the same time is not recommended, therefore please do not try this at home. Even under these conditions, the person in the video forgot to wipe his hands dry after working the hose. GenTent Safety Canopies claims that its GenTent keeps water away from the electrical outlets which allows the generator to be used safely in wet weather conditions. No other GenTent Safety Canopies claims should be taken from this video.
GenTent High Wind Performance
This video was taken in 2011, during the Hurricane Irene. Showing a prototype of the GenTent with hurricane strength winds affect trees while the GenTent remains stable. Sheets of rain pummeling the covered generator; the generator remains dry throughout the storm.
GenTent Setup on a Running Generator
This video was taken in 2011, showcasing the GenTent prototype setup on a running generator. By design the GenTent will allow users to protect their portable generator or inverter while operating at peak performance.
Generator Remains Portable with GenTent
This video was taken in 2011, showcasing the GenTent prototype setup on a running generator. This running generator is shut off with the GenTent attached and then wheeled away.
