DP Engine Heat
My bed is over the diesel engine, which has an access cover to the top of the engine. Under the bed (and on top of that access cover) is plenty of room for storage. But I've noticed it gets pretty hot under there during long trips.
Is it safe to put things like spare blankets and pillows under the bed? There's no smells or exhaust getting through, that's not an issue, just heat. I haven't had the opportunity to actually put a thermometer under there, but I'm curious if anyone has ever had any issues with a DP where the bed is directly over the engine?
