    Jack,

    Are all the baffles in place? We have run the generator for long periods in excessive heat and so far, so good. But when I got my coach the generator baffle had been squashed kind of flat, and the cross baffle for the middle two Cruise Airs was handng on with one bolt. I repaired each problem and do get a chance to get under and check things out often. I think the baffling is critical.

    Jon, could you post pictures of those three baffles, I only have one for the OTR air.

    Jim,

    I'm jammed up and cannot get pictures yet, but you should have a baffle under your generator that allows exhaust air from the generator radiator to blow to the rear of the coach. That is a steel baffle. That stops the air from returing to the radiator. The fan which takes heat and air from the generator box has a small steel baffle on the exhaust so the air from that box does not re-enter.

    In the approximate center of the second bay beneath the coach there is a rubber (like a mud flap) baffle that extends crosswise. That baffle separates the air exhausting from the two Cruise Airs in the middle of the second bay from returning to the air intake of those Cruise airs. The way our coaches are set up (yours, mine, Fred's, Tony's, and all others from the same vintage) all the air intakes will not have heated air returned to them as long as the baffles are in place.

    The front Cruise Airs have intake air from behind the bumper and it is exhausted out the bottom.

    OK, I can wait.
    I do have the long crosswise flap and the OTR baffle.
