Do some Class A's have two generators?

Somebody in my neighborhood has a visitor this weekend with a very nice Diesel pusher. It's not a Thor but this is more of a general question anyway

This a a Newmar London Aire, a super nice tag axle rig.
Up front just ahead of the driver's side tire there are two little tailpipes where you'd normally see just one for the generator.
I've been hoping to see them out so I could ask....but so far no luck with that.....but my curiosity is triggered
I don't see anything on the newmar site listing features that might explain it.

Thought maybe some of you might have experience with larger rigs like that.

So what do you think....why two exhaust pipes up front?

Large 12k generator may require dual exhaust for breathing

Or one for the generator and one for a diesel fueled furnace/hot water system?

Mine has two exhaust up front

Lot of controversy over the years as to placement dut to close camping

Some opt to have the Aquahot exhaust on the passenger side and almost all generator exhaust is on the drivers side

A few are on both on the drivers side and since the Aquahot typis as well it makes sense

As a side note the 10k and 12k both use the same 3 cylinder diesel engine
