[Guy]

Hey fellas. I've never had the issue Guy is describing. The blower threw the fan belt once and it overheated and shut down like it was supposed to. Also the mechanic figured out that the blower did not cool efficiently unless the genset door to the blower was closed. He said if it was open it did not draw the air it needed to onto the genset and the automotic shut off for excessive heat would kick the motor off. It has always taken 1-3 tries to start it though. No long starts just usually one flip. Then the second time I would flip it again and as it would begin to want to wind down I would hit it once more and she would start up.

Let it be known that Todd did the big stuff, for which I am so grateful. ( Engine, trans, brakes, cooling systems, tires and a beautiful interior rehab and too much other stuff to mention.). I managed to get home with no problems, 1800 + miles, quite a feat on a 33 year old coach which I am a total greenhorn with, a real tribute to Todd's workmanship. Over the continental divide twice, 100+ temps for 2 days, way too many 6% grades  and all was well. Engine never hit 190 degrees. I even dealt with Las Vegas and Los Angeles traffic. As I post questions here, I want all to understand that these are things that just happen on coaches, old and new. Because we are not going to be full timing for 9 months, I am going to be looking for problems, perceived problems ,and solutions..  I will be asking for lots of advice. I don't want anyone to think that this coach is trouble. It is a joy. If Todd has another coach for sale at a later date, we would be the first  in line to purchase it.
