  1. UPDATE:. First, thank you for the responses! I opened the hatch and was starting to check out the light coming through the radiator when I noticed about a 4"x4" area in the lower right corner covered in little papers and general filth. Other side I pulled out a Dorito bag. Can't believe it! Also the radiator was grimy. I got all the paper, leaves and trash out, thoroughly soaked it in Simple Green and left for 20 minutes. Rinsed it thoroughly and a ton of grime hit the ground. Started her up afterwards and it blew bubbles for a few minutes. One question: Is it normal to have a space in the middle that has a little less air flow at idle? I figured there probably is a little less because of no fan blades in the center.
  2. I bought mine from Headlight Revolution. They were very knowledgeable and the headlights have been great.
  3. I haven't put one on but it may have been by the last guy. Also it would not come back down many times without me stopping. I will check the muffler. Very interesting because my mechanic and I were just talking about how we are coming up to having to change the muffler.
  4. Had the radiator flushed and new coolant put in. Are you saying cleaning the fins? I have not. It has had its radiator replaced by the guy I bought it from but it's been a few years and it does look dirty. What do you clean that with?
  5. So we headed from Ohio to the FMCA rally in Gillette Wyoming pulling our Chevy Colorado with our 2005 HR Ambassador with the ISO 330 loaded pretty heavy. Got out to South Dakota and the temps were running in the upper 90s and I started seeing temps over 200 pretty often. Was running a little slower anyway but the coach seems to run hot. When I stop for a break cools right back to 180. Disconnected the truck and let my son drive the final leg in Wyoming and it seemed to still run hot. Coolant is new and full. Fan running good and when I stand behind the coach at an idle the air flow seems good. Am I just trying to do too much on too hot a day? Thoughts?
  6. We had the same issues and after I had a talk with the guys at JC Refrigeration, ended up having them put in the gas/electric replacement (mainly because of how we like to use the coach). It has worked AWESOME. Runs on #5 at about 38 in the refrigerator and the freezer keeps the ice cream solid. Pretty simple: Double the coils and they are also thicker tubing. Also had everything else including cooling fans replaced. Only electronics and box are original. All in about $1600 and 3 hours at their place in IN.
