'92 Coachman Chugs & Stalls Cold Gas to Fix - Another Way?

1992 Coachman Class C

After 3 hours the camper starts to chug and stall. When it hits its breaking point it will just stop. If you put cold gas in the tank, it starts right up. No problems if you travel during cooler weather. We have brought it to shops but most don't know how to work on that year of an RV.

Suggestions on how to repair?

    When it acts up stop and open gas cap and listen for vacuum sound.
    Might be a problem with fuel vent system (emissions). ??
    Yes, this came to my mind.....negative pressure inside the fuel tank.

    When it happens again, take off the gas cap to neutralize the pressure in the tank, put it back on, and see if the problem can be repeated with the same band-aid solution.
