I looked at the Northern Light website, and there's a picture of a Honda generator in the generator compartment with the exhaust pointing out of the compartment. Looks like it's hooked to a propane line in the compartment.

This one? I will not comment on gas tanks next to furnace exhaust.



The hose could be anything. Propane conversion kits come with huge diaphragm and I don't see it, so it is probably just a hose in the compartment. Doesn't look like generator could be started in this position anyway.
In my years of RVing I heard enough about deaths due owners hacking, or neglecting generator use, so would I be doing gasoline generator in camper compartment, it would have to have Venturi exhaust over the roof.
I will not ask you to try and report back as that might not apply after the try.

What is the concern regarding the furnace exhaust? I don't think that configuration could remotely be considered an ignition hazard if you are referring to hot air/exhaust exiting the furnace, and rising straight up and the fuel inside the Honda unit.

The hose could be anything. But doubtful it's water or oil. So that leaves fuel or air. I didn't know these could run on propane, as there's no mention in the manual. So I'd assume that it's a different unit to the ones that are gas driven. It does look attached to the unit, though hard to tell for a 100% certainty in a photo. But if N.Lite is using it in their advertising, it would be a reasonable assumption it's not some DIY rigged up job.
Air seems unreasonable as there not a lot of volume that could be drawn through that size hose, unless fed by a compressor or air cylinder, both of which are pretty unlikely.
