I'm not sure how carbon monoxide gets in the RV sits below floor level and the exhaust system directs the exhaust gas out away from the coach. Carbon monoxide is the same density as air so it won't migrate up or down by itself--there has to be some kind of convection current to move it around.
As long as your generator exhaust is in good condition there should be no danger of carbon monoxide poisoning.
Ever take a good long hard look at a gen exhaust??? Has NOTHING to do if that short little exhaust pipe is in good condition.
It's where it is located and the WIND, that's your convection and it's everywhere and yes it moves it up and down and under an RV.
That gen exhaust pipe sticks out 'maybe' an inch or two from the side of your RV. The most dangerous thing I've ever seen.
The exhaust runs right up along the side of your coach and seeps into the windows closed or not, remember weep holes?
And if a wind is blowing it goes right 'under' your rv and seeps into your RV from all the holes from where pipes, electric wires, etc all come in. RV's are not built like a stick home by any means.
I do a lot of sporting events without hookups. thought all my headaches were from not winning that day! :B
Seriously I got a Gen-turi gen exhaust and my headaches completely disappeared AND that slight smell of gen exhaust in the coach totally is gone.
Many state parks in the west now 'require' this and now many sporting events are requiring them also.
Keep in mind if the wind blows the gen exhaust goes under your RV, AND so does all the exhaust from the people parked next to you too.
Gen-turi and a window cracked. The ONLY way to use a gen safely in an RV. Data or no data. I choose not to be part of a data for dead people. Don't care if it's a million to one. I don't want to be the one.
