If I run my generator with compartment door shut it will shut down in 70 degree weather. There is just not enough of a baffle separating the exhaust side air and the intake side air. Going to try my homemade sheet metal heat deflector this weekend.
The only real problem is the generator cover. It is designed to direct airflow. One of the first times I worked on a generator I was running it without the cover and burned out the exhaust because the airflow cools it down. No cover means the air will follow a different path.
If the problem is with the compartment door that is a coach manufacturer problem and could very well be an issue. All 3 of my Jaycos 31XLs melted the compartment door after 1000 hours. Still, always let the generator cool down running before turning it off.
