At 11 years old and 2333 hours, I'm thinking loose or wore out fan/water pump belt. I would think the maintenance schedule would have called for belt maintenance by now.
Could it be the radiator fins are full of dirt and bugs?

Hi Richard,
Thanks for the feedback. I've also maintained the belts and carry spares with me just in case. I replaced them both 3 years ago and they look good and seem to be doing their function.
The fins might be a good cause if it is really overheating and shutting down. The radiator is kind of hard to see as it's in the back of the gene and my gene fixed permanently in place (can't pull it out - poor design and something I want to change in future).
From what I can see they look pretty clean, but if the gene shuts down with no AC load, then I will pull the RV out of the garage and see about washing the fins.
Thanks again.
