Generator Exhaust Routing

Quote
My exhaust goes down, makes a 90 and out under the compartment. It is the lowest spot on the whole rig and since we are always going off pavement on gravel, beach roads, I was thinking of possibly going forward through the wall, making a 90 and then installing the muffler and pipe and then out just in front of the compartment where they could never rub against the ground. The stock muffler is a little loud so thought I would also replace it at the same time. Anyone out there done this before?
What you described sounds just like what I have on my '91 (stock I believe):

John, Yes you can reroute the exhaust anyway you like, run it anywhere. Just be careful not to let it burn or rub something.
The only problem might be when you try to sell the coach and the prospective buyer might not see it eye to eye with you.
The 7.5DKD Onan is a good unit, not a quiet model, but they seem to do well as long as you keep the control box out of the dirt and moisture.
FWIW
