I was looking at the 2014 Essex & saw where the exhaust for the Aqua Hot is under the bedroom window on the curbside, I own a 2005 Dynasty & the exhaust was under the bedroom window on the roadside & a couple of years ago the Feds made Monaco recall these MH & reroute the exhaust to the curb side to get it away from the bedroom window.Has anyone heard of Essex being able to reroute the exhaust to the roadside?Also, all you Essex owners, are you happy with your coach?

With all the windows on these rigs I'm not sure where you could route the exhaust to avoid the fumes except out the back. I believe that AquaHot has restrictions on how far and how many bends are permitted in the exhaust system due to back pressure concerns. While I think it could be easily re-routed by any exhaust shop you need to keep the system requirements in mind. I modified a GenTuri system to the AH and moved the exhaust to over the roofline when were stopped.

Can't answer about the DOT making them move the exhaust, but on our Dynasty it is right under the dinette on the street side and with the window open eating dinner we don't smell a thing. On my aunt/uncles Beaver Marquis it was located at the rear of the coach (bedroom) and they never had an issue with exhaust either.Think about the coaches with their water heaters located back under the bed near the bedroom windows, there is just as much potential for CO2 gasses there as well. There are quite a few with the water heaters and/or furnaces located near bedroom windows.Just a thought.Mike.

The exit should be close to the front of the drive axle, not in the middle of the coach. It looked like to me that it would be easy to damage it if there was a crest in the road or driveway, etc.Of course the best exit is out the roof like on the Prevost coaches, Newell, etc. All and all, the wind direction will change everything no matter where it exits. If the windows are closed, there should be no problem. We generally (really never) don't run the genny or AH diesel while sleeping. We'll just use our little electric heater so no fumes from anything. We'll use the electric feature for hot water.Our AH system has the two stage electric element and if it's not too cold (40's OK), we can heat the coach from the electric side of the AH.MM.
