Hello. Like you I have a 5k BTU room air-conditioning unit. My Haier is mounted topside using a Moby-Cool cover.
Website for Moby-Cool cover
Moby-Cool.com
I believe it looks okay up there.
I power it with a Yamaha 1000.
Reason for blue over red: The Yamaha has a fuel shut off valve and Honda does not. I shut off the fuel and four minutes later the generator quits leaving me a clean dry carburetor. That, and I found not pull start a Honda2k unless it was warm. I can start Bluebell in three pulls, or four. It takes that many to get the fuel up again.
