1st I think you would want one with remote start capability such as one of the champion ones. 2d you would need to fabricate a mount for it on the rear of the coach. I mounted a 3K champion on the rear of my TT, never used it so far, but was fairly simple. As to exhaust you can rig a pipe to carry it away from the rv. Might use a flex pipe or something similar, remember that is all the built ins have and they usually exit either behind the driver door or just under the genset itself. fuel could be used as in a built in, just again have to fab a line and a small pump with a valve to keep from over filling. I did mine after seeing a fellow in mississippi going down the road with his on and then pulling into a rest stop and he had the ac going so the unit would be cool when he stopped. he ran and I plan to run the power cord back to the set and plug it in. But even an onboard gas tank with the gen set should last 8-10 hrs unless loaded hard. There are some 7Ks with remote start at cosco and some at CW I think. I got mine direct from champion when they offered a special on the remote start ones.
I don't know what rigs you have looked at that uses flex pipe from the factory but none of my 6 class C or class A (all new) have had flex pipe. They were solid pipes from the generator to the pipe outside the rig with a few bends along the way. I have never seen flex pipe used on a new rig.
