It appears on the larger class A's, Thor has consistently put the Genny on the drivers side towards the rear of the coach, away from the coach engine,
Hope this helps!
On our Infinity 34H the gennie was on the drivers side by the bedroom, only issues were that I insulated the gas line to the fuel pump & to the carb because it tended to vapor lock in 95+ heat also I had to extend the exhaust pipe 2" or the co2 alarm would shriek.... Then installed the Ven-Turi to run the exhaust up above the roof when camping. (not running down the road)
