IT'S A MIRACLE! 13.5AC on EU2000i Generator!

I'm going to be extra careful next time I boondock in heat. Last week I ran my Hondas 10 hours/day in 90F heat with no wind, and I remember thinking "I don't think it's a good idea to be breathing exhaust fumes every time I sit outside." Sure enough, about the 4th day I started feeling nauseated and headachy and weak. After being home for a few days I'm better, but it's taking its time.

Mr. Blank,

Did you keep any fumes from entering anywhere by pressurizing the interior of your RV whenever the genny was running?

When drycamping in hot air-conditioning kind of weather, we close everything up in the RV except for the one roof vent with the reversible roof fan in it. We set the fan to blow IN on it's lowest setting. Since generator fumes aren't way up there above the roof and since the fan can't actually suck much of any air in because every opening (except for small cracks and window/door air leaks) is closed ... what the fan is actually doing is merely maintaining a small air pressure inside the RV ... which is exactly what you want.

This small air pressure is all that's required to keep all generator fumes out resulting from any small cracks and window/door air leaks down low around the generator area as well as everywhere else. We do this all the time during long generator runs and it works like a champ. Outside winds also cannot force in generator fumes - due to the physics of an RV interior that is under slight pressue. If your RV is a motorhome ... don't forget to preset the cab's ventilation system to "recirculation" mode so that any large openings in this system to the outside are closed to help maintain interior pressure with the roof fan on only it's LOW setting.

This technique also keeps all dust out of the RV when underway traveling on dusty roads. ;)
