It has a plastic horn between the door and generator to keep hot air from being drawn in from under the rv. Works great.
It is not just a vent cut into the door.
I understand the concept but my coach's exhaust is on the opposite side of the generator and the generators exhaust is behind the unit. Maybe my application does not warrant a air intake mod.
