Hey Chris and all,

I haven't used Outbacks yet either, nostly cause I have just gotten used
to the T240 (change can be hard).  I have used the Trace T240 in
applications that were "close" and I turbo-charged them with a four inch
muffin fan to come on with the generator.  Such a fan can be mounted
inside the box at the right end blowing onto the transformer.  I
wouldn't imagine this would meet code, but I believe it works well and
is probably a good thing (cool is cool).
