Genny flexible exhaust

[g_man1146]

Alan,

I had a flex connector fail on the generator exhaust of my PT90 shortly after I
purchased it in 1991. This was an "accordion" type about 10-12" long. I replaced
it with two flex connectors, one where the original was and another on the pipe
where it turned 90 degrees. The replacements had a stainless woven appearance.
Doubling up seemed to do the trick. They were still fine when I sold the coach
in 2001. Don Bradner has that coach now and can tell you if they are still
holding.

designed to absorb some of the vibration off the genset. But I'm tired of
replacing that thing.
