No, I used the thin walled exhaust tubing.

Ok, I was thinking I need to expand my search past home improvement stores, to something more like a muffler shop. Not sure how emt would even hold up...

I discovered exhaust shops start at 1-1/2 diameter and up

I think I’ll contact CW. They did give an install quote for the genset but I did it mythey have the exhaust at 100 even. Not sure if that is just something stock or custom.

Ok so I need to know, on the exhaust I have the pipe but need to extend the pipe down from where it attaches to the genset itself. Is this part universal..? Can’t find one that is model specific ...? Thank you hopefully this is the last step !!

Dang thought I did the final update and I didn’t. So everything is installed. I ran all the wires and connected them to the ATS. Sealed everything up. On the exhaust I had a local muffler shop fabricate the exhaust and I put the exhaust tip on it. Log into the app on my phone push the button starts right up !! Works great.

Just installed propane tank monitors with an app on my phone so now I can monitor the tanks as I use the generator. So far happy !! With the money I saved on the install I had a 50gal in bed transfer tank installed, now I just need to go camping lol

Tony

If anyone wants to see pictures let me know I can post if anyone is contemplating the same project.

Do you know how much additional pin weight you have due to this generator installation. My 2021 Montana 3120RL is generator preped an I would like to add the Onan generator but I’m pretty close on my rear axel weight rating on my Chevrolet Silverado 3500 SRW truck.

Removed 2 Hf 3500 and 10gal of gas. Added the frame enclosure and generator. Added maybe 50-100lbs would need to do the math.

Updated answer. Today I hooked up pulled out the 5th wheel and set it in from of the house. First time hooking up with the generator installed. After I pulled it out of the drive way I drove it around found a flat spot and aired up the bags. My normal 35lbs was way to much I ended up dropping down to 23lbs. Only thing missing was the wife... I did take some weight out of the basement... new axles tomorrow.
