In my experience, it will run too hot, and I would be concerned about the CO accumulating inside the box. Generator exhaust are...tiny.

One thing you can do: a lot of tool rental places, will rent a small generator for the week end. Try it, see if you need it. I did rent one for a week end camping last summer, it was 60$ for the week end.
