hi all,
it was about 115 degrees here yesterday and at the peak temp with the sun shining directly on the front of the coach, i fired up the genny to run the air conditioners for 90 minutes or so. i needed to do some work inside the coach and it was almost 125 degrees inside. after about 90 minutes the genny temp gauge on the dash was right at 200 degrees. i am a worry wart about overheating things, so i shut it down. i called newell service this morning and talked to creslie. he said 200 degrees is no problem and as i knew the genny would shut down when it got too hot, which was we think about 225-230 degrees.
mine had never run over 190 before but i have not run it when it was this hot here for extended periods of time.
he also suggested to lift the front of the coach up with the leveling system to allow more hot air to flow under the coach.
later
tom
