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.

OK, WHAT was the actual circumstance that caused those deaths? 20 years here in Texas at TMS and NOT ONE death or harm. I will bet as in all things, the deaths were caused by a Genset that was NOT in good repair or an RV that was NOT in good repair. I have been a RV Tech for 37 years and I will state that Deaths from Gensets are extremely rare. So rare as to not be a concern. You can always find the idiots that do something wrong and are killed or harmed by a product. Doug
