RVers Breath Easier When They Use This Device

Imagine a large group of RVs parked close together. Now imagine that they all have their generators running. Doesn’t that thought just make your eyes water? RVers who park infield at NASCAR races are now required to vent their generator exhaust above their RVs. Some FMCA chapters are requiring them at their rallies and a few dog shows are also asking that RVers make use of these devices. CAMCO makes the GenTuri generator exhaust just for this purpose. It breaks down into several pieces for convenient storage. It comes with a stainless steel adaptor kit to fit most generator exhaust vents. You just slip the pieces together and clamp the adaptor onto your current exhaust pipe and point the “stack” toward the sky. CAMCO has a patent on this stainless steel venture system which not only exhausts the bad fumes, but also acts to baffle the noise to make your system quieter. You can pick up this system wherever CAMCO products are sold (practically all RV stores). The GenTuri sells for around $160 clams. I know what you're thinking... but please, don't use this system to launch potatoes into the next county. I just wanted to clear the air on that issue. Jim Twamley

  • We have been using this for two years now --and love it-quick to set up and break down. We travel with two pets and stop at frequent sights in our 31 footer, Class C. We always run the generator with the Gen-turi for safety and peace of mind.

  • Every manufacturer of motorhomes, generators, and every seminar I've attended have said not to use such a device. Due to damage to exhaust systems - CO issues.

  • I have not read of a single gen failure due to this device anywhere. Every manufacturer is going to tell you not to modify the stock system. I wish gen sets exhausted at the roof line in a stock configuration.

  • You spelled 'breathe' wrong, and '$160 clams' would be a hundred sixy dollars clams.

  • I use one all the time. I wish my neighbors would! At the rallies, they gag me everytime they run their's. Funny the generator mfgs allow elbows and long runs in their exhausts but ask about a stack and all of sudden they say it causes too much back pressure. Properly installed, there should be no increase in back pressure. They figure they can avoid lawsuits if they just ignore stacks all together. They have no proof these will damage their generators because they refuse to test them. There should be a special generator section for those that use stacks at every rally. I'm sick of being gased!

  • What keeps this thing from falling when the wind is blowing?
