Gen noise TT vs 5er
Can anyone comment on the diff of noise levels in TT vs 5ers? Most TT have the gen mounted next to the forward bed and seems like it would be quite noisy?

just a soft hum...not bad at all in my Raptor. My exhaust does exit on the curb side however, so i dont know if that makes a difference. Guess for 2007 they routed it on the curbside so it wouldnt exhaust under the bedroom slide.
That was a good change too, why they would vent it under the bedroom slide was beyond me, but I'm not sure I'd like having it vented under the awning either.

We also used the Gen-X exhaust riser system (I think that’s what their called). This vents the gases up above the roof of the trailer.
It's called a Gen-turi or the Camco Gen-turi RV Generator Exhaust System. I highly recommend using one.

My owners manual says not to sleep with the genny running under the bedroom; fumes and all. We've never camped where we've needed to run it but it is fairly quiet.
Our Raptor vented right under the bedroom slide, horrible design and after our alarm sounded was the reason I made my own Gen-turi. I am sure the lawyers had that language inserted in the owners manual to protect themselves rather then properly design the exhaust vent.
