My generator runs hot (200 degrees) in ambient temperatures of 85 degrees.

My Newell is a 1999 with the dash AC condensor in the same bay that the generator blower is housed in. If I turn off the dash AC; the generator operating temperature will sit at a cool 180. But as soon as I turn on the dash AC > 30 minutes later it is up to 200 degrees.

It seems that the dash AC condensor is dumping hot air into the generator blower and the hot air is in turn dumped into the generator compartment.

Has anyone else had this problem? If so, how did you solve it?
