Looks like you made a good purchase there. Lots of accessories for sure. However you might look into a quieter generator, your racing neighbors will appreciate it  also a vent to have the exhaust go aboove the traler would be nice for everyone. If you are gonna run it like it is in the cabinet I suggest a Carbon Monoxide detector for sure.

Yes it has the plastic ones. Where can I find replacements? Also, some of the interior panels could use replacing. Are these available as well?
I have been able to get replacement covers and other vent parts at a local RV dealer.
Good Luck,
Bill

Can I make some sort of exhaust/muffler to vent it out and quiet it down?

yes...mine had the pipe going to the roof of the trailer attached to the front corner...was very quiet, it was an onan...I also have a generator like the one shown in yours and is very noisy...so im going to take one of the stock pipes that was on my wife's Harley Sportster and adapt it...those are quiet
you can go to a lawn mower shop..they make quiet mufflers that are on the big riders that are quiet

Wow, very nice. I've basically got the same EDGE. Mine is a 28 with some differences. I tried putting a Harley exhaust and elbow going vertically, but it sounded like a motorcycle running..LOL My Onan already has one muffler, but I would like another idea. I like Harleys, but not hearing one for hours and hours.  Nice trailer.

Jeff, you tree'd me..LOL When you find an adapter from 1 3/4 to 1 3/8th, or whatever it is, please get two.. I like the idea of the bike exhaust, as I have several I got from a garage sale to try out. Maybe I just need to mount it higher.  Thanks. If you need a bike muffler, pay for the stamp and I'll send on out to you.. 
Rich...I have a few things that I need to get done before I mess with the muffler...been saying this for a few years...BUT..when I do I'll take pics of what and how Im going to adapt the Harley muff to it...I like the sound of muff...sounds sorta serene...

I agree. The last time I went to Woodburn for a regular bracket race I pulled in on the north side of a very large trailer hoping to take advantage of the shade. Once I was unloaded the owner of the big trailer came around and slid out a very noisy generator and fired it up. I don't know why he needed a 6000W generator running the whole time. I ended up racing him in the first round, treed him and won. He was packed and outta there real quick  Those guys with $100,000+ racing operations really hate losing to guys with 20 year old trucks and home made flat bed trailers.
