Exhaust Leaks & Replacement

Why It Matters

Carbon Monoxide Doesn't Announce Itself

On an RV, an exhaust leak is fundamentally more dangerous than on a car — because people live inside the vehicle. Exhaust gas that finds its way into a living space through a floor penetration, a compartment seam, or an open window while the generator runs is genuinely life-threatening.

Beyond the safety issue, leaks upstream of a diesel's sensors confuse the emissions system, trigger derates, and hurt performance and economy. And on a rear-engine diesel pusher, exhaust heat escaping where it shouldn't can cook wiring and components in a very expensive neighborhood.

• Full exhaust system inspection from manifold to tailpipe
• Leak location using pressure and smoke testing methods
• Manifold, gasket, flange and clamp repair or replacement
• Muffler, resonator and pipe section replacement
• Hanger and mount repair — the usual failure point on coach exhausts
• Heat shield inspection and repair
• Generator exhaust inspection, which is where CO problems most often start
