My 1978 Newell had the fan mounted on the engine in the conventional manner. I was not happy with the noise...Especially around the front of the coach. As you can see in the pic the air inlet was throught a grill in the front of the coach. I made a "surround" for the front of the genset that sealed the area between the edges of the radiator and the "box" , totally closed off the radiator opening in the front cover with sheet metal and sound deadener foam, and cut a new air opening into the front cover below the old opening and in line with the chrome bumper. I then sealed the bumper to the body along the top edge with aluminum panels so air would be drawn in from below the bumper, up and making a 90 degree turn into the radiator. It exhausted out the bottom of the genset box. It made a huge reduction in noise and ran cool.
