A while ago we had a new member join us who if I recall was a service manager for Cummins? generators...
If he or anyone else knows the answer I would be obliged.
My RV has the Onan 4 ltr microlite located in a silly place.. i.e just behind the passenger door and if the wind is blowing from the direction of the rear of the RV the fumes come up into the RV and set everything off.
I do have a Genturi (an extension that goes on the exhaust pipe and take the fumes up over the top of the RV)... BUT CAN I... extend the original exhaust to come out of the other side of the RV? that would add about 8'6" to the run across the ... i.e horizontal ... were as now I am vertical when I add the Genturi (a Venturi devise). Is there any know issues ? loss of power? overheating? etc., and is it allowable to put say an additional silencer box in the run?
I am very aware of using the generator when i have to charge my disabled buggy so I try to limit the use and be aware of the fumes.. but it is a lot of work to fit the portable Genturi up on the RV......
Plus it would stop JIM selling tickets to the show for those that have not seen one or the set up time extension (I presume he sell's tickets..... perhaps it is a hobby of his??? who knows)
