Gurus,
On out last trip we smelled exhaust fumes inside the coach when we ran the AH or the generator. I could see smoke exiting the exhaust elbow joint at the AH. The horizontal exhaust pipe going across the coach to the vertical exhaust pipe had a ragged fiberglass wrap that needed replacement anyway. Investigating on how best to wrap the pipe I went ahead and removed the pipe or should I say "Sawzalled the pipe". Once removed, the AH elbow joint was rusted at least half way around the joint hence the smoke exiting, Also, under the wrap there were several holes rusted through the pipe. At least from the AH I am sure this is the source of the fumes and possibly from the generator given the common connection point to the vertical exhaust pipe. The fix is in work and will update when completed.
