It's a descent attempt to handle a problem that plagues most all RV's in tight spots - getting the noise and the fumes out of the neighbors camp. A couple of suggestions. Use a steel cam lock quick-connect at the interface of the exhaust pipe and elbow. It will work, just change out the gasket for a HT gasket. Consider the venturi effect. You might want to run some tests to see what design works best. What you have is fairly marginal at best but I agree it functions. There are better designs. Lastly, think about the addition of a simple screen type (1/32 mesh or smaller) spark arrestor on the discharge which could be built into a simple stack diffuser. It might go a long way to explain the pine tree in flames above the outlet which could ignite once the green turns to brown on a dry day. EGT's may not be cooled as much as planned on a 100 degree day. Expect over 500F. You might try epoxy-ing a hi-heat-indicator-button on your tube to help explain I wasn't your fault in the lawsuit that will invariably come. Nice thinking and good luck.
Like this system. Could it possibly be used along with the installation of a mini wood stove in an RV (and, of course, with a carbon monoxide monitor inside the RV). Thanks.
I’d think you would need an approved power venting system for the wood stove since 1-1.5” exhaust is too small for a natural drafting wood stove (unless it is basically a candle, lol). Basically it would be like a pellet stove exhaust. And if it was already power vented, you could just route the wood stove exhaust out the roof. So it would seem that this gen turi system isn’t really needed for what you are trying to do. I would look into purpose built systems designed and tested to be used with a wood stove or at least a general purpose power venting system rated for the high temperatures produced by wood stoves (all of which I’ve seen draw in cool air just like this gen turi to protect the fan unit from high temperatures). Good luck
Keep failing and they couldn't get it to work... So when you put duck tape around bottom of big pipe pow it works like a charm... We get tape smell when it get hot but it flows now...
I would certainly hate to pour all my carbon monoxide-laden exhaust across the top of my RV into the Coleman Mini-mach Air Conditioner as I was innocently sleeping in the bed immediately beneath it. I would also not like to have to explain to that nice police officer who stopped me for having an exhaust pipe that didn't extend beyond the rear bumper of my RV as required by most reputable MVA safety inspectors.
Yes, I am currently on my third RV with a Mini-Mach on top. All involve a hole in the roof. That's all it takes.
So does this system make your generator quieter and lower the decimals would be nice to hear a before and after.
It doesn't change the sound of your generator. It just pulls the exhaust up and over your RV. - Scott
Can this system be used with portable generators?
WILL IT ADAPT TO A WESTINGHOUSE W950 DUEL FUEL GENERATOR EXHAUT PIPE
Wow. The one I got did not come with a carry case or some hardware shown, or instructions ….😢

@Dave N yeah I think he is just blowing hot air
What about when it rains? Will you get rain water in your exhaust?
Put a rain cap or a elbow on top pipe
I'd think it would make it quite if it was sealed
I don't think that's the Venturi effect - there's no tapered pipe - it's just a chimney.

Lolz yeah I hate when I'm outside and I pass out from exhaust fumes from generators
will it work on honda eu2200?
Sorry, it is not compatible.
While this is an interesting point you clearly have no idea how roof mounted air conditioners work.
Its not going to help with the noise
