I'm very tempted to buy an AC vent and install it in the door. It doesn't make sense that Fleetwood would block the fresh air intake with a door that's trapping hot engine air.
In my case, I'm not really referring to the exhaust gasses. The hot air I'm referring to is the air that is blown through the generator to cool it. Instead of sucking in cool air from the outside as it is designed to do, my generator air intake is blocked by the compartment door. The whole thing is directly behind the front engine which produces a tremendous amount of heat. So rather than draw in cool fresh air, it is now drawing in hot air warmed by the engine.
