A little follow-up and some more questions.

I put on a full face mask and attached the insulation. It cut easily with an exacto knife. I cut the saddle clamps with a reciprocating saw and extracted a very rusty exhaust pipe. The insulation may have contributed to the rust as the uninsulated exhaust for the generator is in vastly better shape. But, there is always a but, the connection to the vertical pipe running through the roof is in very bad shape. It probably should be replaced, but I have no idea how to approach that. As you can see in the photos, the generator pipe and AquaHot pipe join at that location. I was surprised to find those two pipes welded together. It appears I have this very long dual pipe with a 90 on the end running up through the coach. I will not fit if you try to pull it up. One could cut off the bottom and maybe pull it out the roof, but then what? Maybe just go back with two completely separate pipes and use clamps to make a 90 at the bottom.

I have emailed Newells for their thoughts. Stay tuned.... Russ
