The motor ran great when the fuel was not boiling. Water temps always under 200, never heard the fan come on, even going 70 mph in 110 Texas heat while towing. Oil temps went above 220 maybe one time. Trans stayed at 200. Aluminum radiator, oil and trans coolers, new motor. It all can work.
The New Orleans KOA, while nice is very far from the French Quarter, contrary to their advertisements.
Need to make heat shields for gas tanks, figure out transmission and one last thing: with the 4 way flashers on (used maybe twice climbing very steep hills) the electric brake controller for the trailer engaged! Gotta fix that.
All in all, over 5,000 miles with no real issues.
