Gen-Turi routed past window?

I don't see it as a problem. Our Southwind generator exhaust is below a window and doesn't cause any problems.

I run mine up right along the edge of a large window over dinette. Yes, it probably isn't best thing cosmetically but it's better than genny fumes getting into MH :)

My home-made genturi runs right outside my dinette window. It has never given me any problem. The pipe at that level stays cool to the touch.

I suggest you try yours and confirm that it is cool to touch when running. Even if it is warm it won't cause a problem unless it is quite hot. Mine is about 4" from the window but even if it was closer it is cool so it wouldn't cause a problem.

As long as it is not an emergency escape window and you have a decent air gap between pipe and window to prevent any possible heating of the window it will be fine

I thought the OP was concerned about fumes falling into the window. I didn't realize the concern was the heat from the Gen-Turi damaging the window. :E

You could be right, the OP never did say what his concern was. In any case Genturis are supposed to extend above the roof line. Shouldn't be any problem with fumes. I haven't smelled any fumes in the couple of years I have used mine, window open or closed.

Genturi pipes are NOT hot. That's the whole reason for buying them!

Posted By-jillhop I have purchased a Gen-Turi (many of the dog events I plan on attending require them) and unless I have an extensive rerouting of the generator exhaust pipe, the Gen-Turi stack will route over a large window. Is this a safe configuration? I'm not particularly concerned about the cosmetic issue of the pipe running up past the window.

Mine runs up the side of my window also. No problem the exhaust is well over the top of the MH. Have never smelled exhaust even on the most windy day.

What you DO have to watch for is if it runs up parallel to your AC unit then you have to reroute it. Which is nothing more than an additional pipe. This is show in the directions that come with it.

Welcome to the forum! :C
I show dogs also. I just wish ALL dog shows that don't have hookups would require exhaust stacks.:W

Current Gen-turi instructions state to make sure that end of Gen-turi extends 6" above roof. RV AC units do not circulate outside air into RV. There should be no problem with fumes. Open vents could be a problem. Here is a link to instruction from Camco posted on Amazon. You will have to scroll down the page for instruction and compatibility info.
Since my Class C is higher than normal C's. I have the 18" extension. It helps to keep fumes away from all vents.

I beg to differ. At a recent event i touched one on a coach nearby and it was hot. No hotter though than the one I made using similar plastic pipe.

Thanks, everyone--I was thinking about CO/fumes when I made the original post, but I'm glad that the heat issue was brought up--I'll certainly pay attention to that now! Where the exhaust stack will end up is fairly close to one of the roof vents, but further from the Fantastic Fan, so that does bear watching. Thanks for all the input!
