Our built-in generator has never caused any fume smells or carbon monoxide alarms inside our RV.

"Close quarters at rallies and tailgate parties create a need for noise and exhaust fume reduction. Gen-turi diverts nasty fumes away from the ground, where they will not be inhaled by neighboring RVers. Be a good neighbor, vent generator exhaust above the roof line while reducing noise."
