Truckmount overheating

[Josh Almanza]

Can my engine on my truckmount overheat if I have the windows to my driver and passenger seats rolled up? I have a air-cooled engine and I always have my side doors completely open as well as my rear doors also completely opened when operating my truckmount. It’s been raining a lot here in Houston lately and not to mention all the pollen in the air this time of year that’s causes me to have the windows closed.

Shouldn't need front windows open.

Common sense says it needs airflow

What's your ambient temperature?

Opening the front windows probably won't help much. If you think you need more airflow, consider installing a 12 volt fan to blow through your van

Is it overheating or are you just worried about it?

Just worried about it

What's your ambient temperature?

It’s been in the 50’s this week and the coming week.

Just worried about it

I run my slide in with the side and back doors open. Up to 5 hours straight with no problems. If your temperature is really hot just consider a high volume fan to move more air through your van. Otherwise, you should be ok.

You can always bump up the weight on the oil if you feel you’re gonna have a wet week.
