In my generator box on my enclosed trailer is a b&s genny. It's wired to a fuse panel inside the trailer and that runs lights and ac. The generator is getting old. I'd like to use my honda eu3000 for the same purpose but I cannot seem to find a box that will fit it, nor can I figure out how to hook up a fuse panel

Anyone do something like this?

It depends on the fuse panel; the old generator and fuse panel may have been set up for 220v, with two hot legs in the fuse panel. The Honda only puts out 120v. It would help if you could post a pic of the fuse panel with the cover off, so we could see the fuses and how they're wired. You may be able to just do something as simple as wire in a heavy cord to the panel with the 30amp twist lock plug on the other end and just plug it into the Honda.
The case of the 3000i is very well sealed. The cooling and engine intake air go in through the lower grate under the control panel (where the plugs are) and the air and exhaust exit through the grate at the top on the other side.
