My last volunteer gig at Talladega I forgot my Gen-Turi (left it at home). As a volunteer we get a free site, but it nothing more than a specific area inside a fence with no services of any kind. Definitely boondocking. The wind was out of the same direction the entire time I was there (blowing right into the side of my rig where the generator exhaust exits) and no matter what window or vent condition I used I was setting off my CO detector. I actually have two detectors, the one built in that came with my rig and a portable one I can move around and it is battery operated. It also has the CO level indicator that the built in one doesn't have so I can see if the level is starting up. I tried all windows closed, upwind windows open, roof vent sucking or blowing, etc. Nothing worked. So for 6 days I could only use the generator long enough to perk a cup in the mornings. The gen exhaust was getting in regardless of my efforts.
Would I consider sleeping with the generator running? With the Gen-Turi yes, without it NEVER.
