Engine Exhaust Wraps?

[Ray Davis]

Not sure if that's the correct term or not, but the Prevost mechanic suggested to me that it's a good idea to get the covers (wraps) that go on the exhaust/turbo/etc pipes, which help contain the heat generated there.

Has anyone had any experience there? Are they worth it? Where would you get them?

Thanks in advance.

I'll go out and look and see if I can find the info on the "wraps". I like them for what it's worth.

Your technical reply on the wraps will be on the way as soon as Anal Jon returns from Oshkosh.

Lew,

Let me save you the trouble. Anal Jon will say, "If it wasn't standard equipment on a Liberty, then it doesn't belong."

And you need to know he put on a pitiful bling exhibition tonight. Mike and I had run to town to get some grub for the masses and when we returned to Camp Prevost, Jon had all the Liberty bling fired up and was busy impressing the prolateriate.

The cooker is safe. Factory bling doesn't count.

Ray,
Mine is coverted all the way to the muffler, thought that was a standard Prevost item!

I notice a trend here. While I was away from my computer Jerry was laying in his tent with the generator screaming in his ear so he could make these posts. From now on his "handle" needs to be Shadow Boxer because he takes jabs when nobody is there.

Like Tom I have the "wraps". I endorse their use because a 40 foot coach especially can get pretty hot in the bedroom and they do help prevent heat from ending up there. When these were first touted in the early 90's it was for that purpose. The only caution is to insure the exhaust system is sound because these will cover any CO leaks that may occur after covering and you would never see the hole in the exhaust. Anybody running their coach engine all night when in sub zero conditions is exposed to CO. I doubt if it is an issue otherwise.
