In my opinion, the generator exhaust stack should be mandatory anytime RVs are parked in close proximity as at rallies. I use mine but all the diesels around me choke me out. At least there should be a stacks only area I could park at.
The problem with CO is that it kills without warning. Your body does not react to CO and it continues to build up replacing the oxygen in your blood without any warning until it kills you. With CO2, your body reacts - you start breathing rapidly trying to get more oxygen in your blood and you know somethings wrong.

It also at lower levels cause headaches. I do a lot of sporting events and end up crashing on the couch. I always seemed to have headaches but wrote it off to all the excitement/work of the day.
Then I had to buy the Genturi Pipes because they were "required" at a CG in Montana where I was going to stay. I ended up using the pipes all the time and the headaches completely stopped.
Duh, The gen exhaust is right under the window by the couch.:R And when I installed the genturi I noticed that on almost all RV's the dang generator exhaust pipe is even with the wall of the rv which sends he exhaust right up the side and into the weep holes in the window. That is where the headaches were coming from and no I no longer have. I also noticed that the inside of my MH no longer smells like exhaust after a 3 day weekend running the gen.
