Removable enclosure for a towable generator

A towable power generation system (10) includes an internal combustion engine (11) and an alternator (12) driven by the internal combustion engine to generate electrical power. The towable power generation system further includes a trailer (13) configured to be attached to a vehicle that is adapted to tow the trailer. A base (14)(e.g., a skid) is attached to the trailer such that the internal combustion engine and the alternator are mounted on the base. The trailer includes one or more axles (51), wheels (52), a frame (53) and a tongue (54) for attaching the trailer to a towing vehicle. An enclosure (15) houses the internal combustion engine and the alternator. The enclosure is detachably connected to the base using fasteners (16) such that when the fasteners are removed only the enclosure is removed from the base and every other part of the towable generator system remains in place.
