I went a head an bought a generator exhaust stack with one extension it works great. It clears my roof by almost three feet and my AC by over one foot. I have ran it for hours with no CO2 alarms in our motor home with slides out or in.
It takes me 5 minutes to set it up and 7 minutes to take it down and put it away. With this I can boondock for up to seven nights running the generator, plus two on solar.
I need power at night for my medical equipment, so knowing I can go up to nine nights with no shore power. If I add a third solar panel I can get even more time off the grid.
Please note that the stack must be taken down before moving.

Winter Camping with our rv
Winter camping with Our RV is almost as good as summer, but not quite. For the winter we winterize which means all waterlines are flushed with RV Anti Freeze. So everything works fine in the RV except for the water, thus the porta poti. This limits us to two nights with no shower (sponge bath only). The heater works fine but drains the battery by morning which causes us to use the generator during the day and the battery at night. Days can be in the 50/60's but nights can be in the teen's during winter.
I have three extra batteries to run my O2 equipment over night and they are only hooked up to 200 watts of solar panels for recharge.
I just added a generator roof top exhaust pipe and will report on that soon. My backyard tests are promising.
