Thanks for responding on your use of a Genturi. That's the kind of info I was curious about.
Related to the fumes issue you mentioned:
We solved that by always closing all windows and roof vents whenever we run the generator for any length of time ... except for the roof vent with a multi-speed reversible fan in it. We switch the fan to blow air in and turn it on at it's lowest speed. This maintains a slight pressure inside the interior, which makes it impossible for any generator fumes from entering the coach through any opening, no matter how small. This works real well - the air remains fresh inside the coach while the genny is running, even hour after hour in hot weather for air conditioning.

Remember you might have you windows closed but there are weep holes and the exhaust goes up the wall and seeps right in thru there and if the wind blows it goes right under your RV and we all know how well sealed (not) the underbelly of RV's are. The exhaust 'does' come in the coach.
