F150 Generator use with TT— is it Safe?

I was just wondering if you were overnighting at Cracker Barrel or anywhere for that matter.
Where you didn’t unhook the trailer and decided to turn on the generator in the F150 to the TT. It could run everything including the AC. But would the carbon monoxide be a factor inside while sleeping even with all
Windows closed and the AC on?

Your TT should have carbon monoxied detector. Also the exhaust is not directly under the trailer as it us in a MH.

You must have the hybrid with the 7,200 watt generator. The 2.0 and 2.4 won't run the AC. Well maybe if a soft start capacitor is added to the AC. I ran my TT with my 2021 F150 with the 2000 watt for a couple hours. I did not detect exhaust coming in. I topped off my batteries and fixed a little breakfast.

Wind direction would also play a factor.
