Generator Exaust
With the Texas heat we are using our on board generator more than I thought we would to run the a/c. The exhaust comes directly out of the back of our Lance 1181, right beside the entry door. I've alr...

If it's an inefficient design, how can it cool the air so much that there will be a reverse air flow???
The thin wall aluminum is very efficient at heat transfer.
As the exhaust goes up the pipe, it cools off more the farther it goes.
To keep a good upward air flow, the inside air must be "hot" in comparison to the pipe and the outside air. If the air flow inside the pipe cools off too much, because too much cold air is added at the bottom or because the walls are not insulated well enough, the air flow slows to a stop, or tries to, near the top of the stack.
That can result in exhaust "leakage" out of the gap at the bottom.
A little side wind makes it more likely.
