Y R exhausts/hookups on awning side

I also did not like the exhaust of the gas heater blowing out under the awning, the heat coming out the exhaust is very hot. You have to be very careful not to lay anything next to it. I installed the Cheap Heat System onto my gas heating unit and now I have no problems with the exhaust of the heating unit. I set up my outside two burner stove right where the exhaust exit, so that was one of the reasons I installed the cheap heat system. The other main one was the cost of using two 40 lbs bottles of butain in a 9 day camping trip.hope this helps.

On mine if I'm SITTING outside the hot exhaust from the water heater is above my head and not a problem, the noise is not all that bad since the burner is properly adjusted (Poor adjustment they roar).

The furnace exhaust is also above my head but. as someone said I'm likely indoors if it's running, enjoying it.

The other issue is of course "Exhaust gasses" Since these are propane it's not all that bad, Propane is often used to power engines that run INDOORS with limited air circulation where electric motors are not practical.

This brings to the Generator. Which blows out the other side, and into a Gen-Turi so it goes up-up and away.

And the main engine, which is blown just now but blows out both sides. But A: well past the awning, and B: when it's blowing, I am inside, sitting in the driver's seat.

People buy them. Manufacturers design the interiors, then figure out where to put the furnace and water heater afterwards - and sometimes the logical place ends up being on the awning side.

This is something that matters to me though. I'd be okay with the furnace but really didn't want the water heater under the awning. (Both are on the driver's side on my trailer.)

This was actually a feature I was pleased with when buying our
ACE. When we tailgate during the winter months we have tables with food/drinks set up curbside in which with our old MH, the heater would blow exhaust on our table the entire time. The way the curbside was set up and the coverage of our awning dictated this.
We would run the heater so the wives could go inside to warm up occasionally.

All I can say is you have to prioritize what is important to you. Make these exhausts a top priority if you choose.

FWIW all my RVs have for whatever reason had the water heater and furnace on the curb side. It is very low on my list of concerns. Propane exhaust is close to odorless, noise isn't bad, and generally when I'm outside this stuff isn't running.

What is a "Y R exhausts"?

"Y R" is how 13 year olds texting each other spell "Why are".

Apparently those 4 extra letters are too much work.

While my connections are street side. Furnace is not . It is really not a big issue for me . Water heater is easy enough to turn off. If it is cold enough to use furnace I'm generally not sitting under the awning.

IIRC, the furnace and water heater exhaust is under the awning. It doesn't bother us, because we rarely sit under there, and if we do we just shut the furnace and water heater off while we are there. No problem.
Oh, sure, it would be annoying if we allowed it to be, but we like the coach so we put up with that minor annoyance.

They are not all that way. Keep shopping until you find the layout you like.
