I'm confused... (seems to happen more frequently the older I get)...
I'm not saying you're wrong, but I've never seen a requirement for a diverter on a portable generator. The only "rules about diverters" has been for permanently installed systems and the diverter requirement is to route exhaust out from under and up the side of the coach to a point "above the tallest adjacent vent/window"....
Take a look at the "requirement wording" again and see if there's a comment about "onboard generators" rather than "all generators"...
I could be way off base, but I'd suspect those rules are directed at permanently installed generators, not a stand alone generator used several feet away from the coach.
