As far as heat burning the outside of the coach, the maker did not follow the venturi model of adding cool air to the exhaust in the vent. My DIY exhaust (after the right angle pipe) is never too hot to put your hand on it for an extended period of time.
And, while I have seen others use something as simple as a household dryer vent tube to channel the exhaust away from their coach, I cannot personally subscribe to any extended exhaust that does not rise above the roof line of the coach where it can be easily dissipated by normal air flow.
Just my thoughts.
