Lets see. Have any of the posters that state to NOT run the Genset ever been to a Nascar race?? There are hundreds if not thousands of gensets running all around you(including yours) and if the exhaust could easily get inside your RV, we would read about scores of CO deaths every week at Nascar races. If you are running the Genset, odds are you are running it to run the Roof AC units. With those running you have a slight higher air pressure INSIDE the RV and you will be pushing OUT air and that will not allow CO to migrate inside. Doug
THere have been deaths at Nascar tracks caused by CO poising from generators.
The only foolproof method is with a Genturi. Without a Genturi you are taking a gamble. THe risk factor may not be great but it is for real.
Foolproof protection using a Genturi? Certainly not, but it can't do any harm. It does put that hot air above your coach but when hot air cools where does that CO go? If it disperses above the coach it will dispurse just as well at ground level. It's much more likely that your neighbors genset would blow gasses your direction than your exhaust would have any effect on you at all if all your windows and vents are closed.
