A 7500 watt gen probably weighs in the 150 - 200 pounds range. Make sure the floor under the storage area can handle that concentrated weight.

Just keep searching around this site and you will find many awesome mods. My mod list includes external speakers, built-in awning lights, rear hitch for carrying bikes, storage for my slide-out supports, flat screen tv mount, and misc hooks and storage upgrades. My to-do list includes round portals for easy access to propane tank shut-offs, flip-down storage compartment for sewer line stuff, shur-flo fan install, built-in shoe rack, and more inside storage improvements. I am not sure which I like better, camping or modding...hmmm...not sure...
