2014 Fleetwood Storm & Generator shutdown
We picked our first RV, a 2014 Fleetwood Storm 32H in Tucson and drove it to San Diego the next day. Loving every single minute of it! On the way back (hot day, 104-106 most of the way), we were ru...

I have a 2011 Fleetwood Storm 32 BH and had the exact same problems. The problem sounds to me like vapor lock. Fleetwood did three things to try and fix the problem.
1) They moved the generator exhaust back behind the engine towards the rear tires to try and move the heat away from the engine.
2) They Installed a heat shield between the main engine and the generator to try and minimize the heat buildup under the generator., and
3) They installed a loop in the gas line supply to try and prevent the fuel from vaporizing before getting to the engine.
These actions all helped, but sadly, failed to stop the problem. I mostly notice the problem if I slow down or come to a stop. It also occurs much more frequently when it is hot than on cool days.
I firmly believe that the only thing that will solve this problem is a vented baggage door in front of the generator. Go ahead and contact the dealer, but when your warranty runs out, I'd recommend a vented baggage door. Enclosing the generator in that space makes absolutely no sense at all.
This has been a real sore spot for me but I have purchased a new motorhome and will soon trade in the old Storm.
