Clinical Trail 5th session completed 4/24/24.
12 gauge is perfect.
As it happens everytime there is power outage from storms, a couple were found dead from carbon monoxide after hurricane Matthew somewhere in Florida. The generator was running from the garage. The news article didn't say if the door was opened, closed or partially open. After hurricane Wilma another family was killed because the generator was running outside an open window. The CO was pulled into the home.
50 ft is the recommended distance a running generator should be from the home.
A generator can run outside in the weather. No electronics to worry about but since yours has an inverter it probably can get wet but running with a heavy wind driven rain may not be a good idea. Does the manual mention this? I would build a wood box form with 2x4 and screw down plywood on the top keeping and maybe oneside to keep wind driven rain out of it. Keep three sides open and the side piece of plywood leave a gap off the ground to allow plenty of air flow.
I found this on line?
