Update on my genny issues.
Just got back from a long trip in Cali and did check my genny switch after it shut down and no codes, so I left the door open and my genny could run for hours without a issue, it seems it is overheating in temps around and above 94 degrees, however I cannot run genny while driving down the road to keep RV cool because it overheats, cant leave door open while driving.
So now down to work, installing a vent like the one in Joe B post and going to do something about the genny exhaust, reroute it and also install a cooling fan for the summer time.
