After studying the exhaust system and motor, I went ahead and spun the exhaust around to the left side. I was able to cut 4 ft from the system, and still was able to leave 4" hanging out beyond the left side of the trailer.
The backpressure of the exhaust is all in the muffler, so there is no jetting and tuning issues. The pipe is just a vent for the exhaust. The pipe was about 6" from the propane line the whole distance across the bottom of the RV, they ran parallel. The pipe is acually further away from the line now. As a added precaution, I wrappped the exhaust pipe with exhaust wrap I use on the pipes on my drag bike. After letting it run for a couple of hours, I was able to hold onto the pipe with my bare hand for a unlimited time with no discomfort. It was just about as hot as hot water.
Now the pleasure area is cool, no hot air circulating around with the exhaust smell, and the noise from the generator is almost non existant. The interior of the RV is cooler, too. Most of the heat from the long pipe is gone.
What I've done is from my research and studying the system I have. Before you modify your system, please look it over real good before making any changes.
