Reasoning for Motorhome to quit running
Hello,
I got a question... hope it can be answered.
I have a 1990 Glendale Class C, (F350 chassis).
I just did a long run from Ontario to Savannah GA.
All was good going down, no issues at all.
The problem was coming back. It was a very hot day. I left from Roanoke Rapids,NC and was suppose to finish in Bedford, PA. I did not make it. The MH quit running in a middle of an intersection in Breezewood, PA.
The engine was hot, was running AC all the way, pushed the poor beast up those mountains, so when I came to an idle state, it quit running. I called for a tow but being a friday and a very hot day, the interstate issues were more important than me, so I had to wait.. it was about 4hours and I thought.. let's see if it would start.. much to my relief it did. the question is WHY. I was sure my engine or trannie was toast. BTW.. the oil level was good, battery charge was correct, rad fluid was up.... only thing I could not check was the trannie fulid.
If I remember my old vehicles from days gone by, I am guessing the gas lines got overheated and evaporated the gas, so that I was not getting no fuel. BUT.. this is just a guess.
Hope someone can help me with this mystery. and... should I take this to a mechanic to see if I really did damage.
Thanks
