This is such a tragedy and as noted, it was avoidable with the proper information. This poor man was trying to keep his family warm and safe. Something occurred to me though about the exhaust being directed under the trailer. Perhaps he thought the warmth from it would radiate through the floor of the trailer to help keep it warmer. after all, it WAS outside...?... Of course if he had ANY thought of exhaust leaks in the floor, or anywhere else he would not have done this. Prayers are being said for him and his family.

I don't know. By looking at the picture it looks like the generator is just setting under the overhang of the 5th wheel. I wondered if maybe the owner sent his kids outside to refill the generator with fuel and they moved it to do that and put it on a bad place? I guess we will never know.
