Is there a product or has anyone attempted a DYI project that vents the exhaust of their portable generators above their TT? I've a Honda 2000 and have had problems in the past with the exhaust blowing back through the campsite. I dry camp a lot at dog shows so my neighbors are sometimes fairly close. The big rigs with their on board generators often exhaust their fumes up and over the top of their roofs. Would be wonderful to have something like a Genturi but designed to be used on something portable. Maybe the Genturi can be used, I don't even know. (I did search the forum for a similar topic and didn't find anything) Carolyn

My 2KW Honda Generator sits secured on my truck tail gate and I have to watch pretty close which way the exhaust is directed. I can set off my alarms by pointing the exhaust at my OFF-ROAD POPUP trailer.I only run my generator just three hours aday usually right at 8AM recharging my batteries from the previous day/night run off the batteries and I am very conscious which way the exhaust is directed.Roy ken

Yes there is a vent for your 2000. It is a piece that fits over where the exhaust came out and had a 3-4 inch flex pipe attached to it. You can then add sections of flex duct to get the fumes where you want. Do a EBay search for Honda 2000 generator exhaust. Cost is $179.

Be creative. I saw an exhaust stack on an old John Deere hit and miss engine that was nothing but a section of aluminum downspout.

In over 13 years with onboard gen I have never had a problem with fumes in the trailer. I just don't open the bedroom window on that side while running the gen.

Thanks, guys. Love the application that is being sold on ebay. Will have to think about the price though. Has anyone tried one?Carolyn
