Eagle HT TT with Onan Generator

I have a 2021 Eagle HT 284BHOK. I did not get the generator prep package with the unit. I happened upon a lightly used Cummins Onan 5500 for a very good deal. I'm installing it in the trailer myself. I'm looking for a photo of how the exhaust is routed on a factory installed unit.

Thanks

Why not just keep it in the back of your truck or put a trailer hitch on the camper with a carrier and strap it down.

Did you ever get this setup going? We purchased our 2021 with the Genset prep option but not sure if we want to spend $$$$ for an Onan Genset.

Still in process. Right now I have the cover off the generator and I’m painting it gloss black to match the decals on the trailer. I welded up a a 50amp temporary power receptacle and i’m attaching that to the tray that the generator sits in. For now I’m going to just plug the trailer in when I want to use it. If I find that I use it a lot I will hard wire it in.

I’m just trying to decide on how to route the exhaust. I might tuck it up under the trailer tongue. But I was hoping to see how that factory did it for reference

If possible, can you share some pics once you are done?
