I have learned that rain can get into the exhaust pipe, especially if the wind is blowing just right. I make it a habit after a rain to run the genset.

Still another good reason for a Carbon Monoxide Alarm!

Steve makes a really really good point. A leak in either the genie or AH exhaust could be a silent killer. I also installed one n the bedroom since my teenagers are prone to sleep in the bedroom on a long trip

Important short story.
The LPG Heater in our cabin went out. Thankfully we had a CO Alarm and I am here today because of it..... We ALL need to have them in the Habitable Interior Spaces!
Thanks Richard, posts like this could save lives.

Got one on my nightstand in the coach.

Tom is going to get a kick out of this. Knowing that I needed to weld some new fitments to fix the exhaust was the impetus I needed to add a fancy mig welder to the garage.

That would depend on what you want to weld. I have a Miller 135 for my MIG. I have a Thermal ARC Inverter for DC Stick and TIG. And I have a LINCOLN Buzz box for AC Stick.
If I was to have only one I would want the Miller 135, 120 Volts AC and very versatile with the different wire sizes. I also choose to use ARGON Gas when using the MIG.
Hope that I didn't loose you.
