So, here are the Cheers and Jeers of the last trip

Cheers-
Recharging A/C and blocking off LH side vent improved airflow and cooling from dash A/C


New 6v house batteries work great when controlled through Yanida combiner. 2 full days on DC with no issues.

Climbed 14% grade for 2 miles (20MPH and me solo, family caught ride with friends up the grade)


Trans temp never over 170F even pulling on long grades.


Jeers -
New fan clutch (severe duty) doesn't cut in and out consistently


Generator - Coil failed ($$$ item) genset inop - kids hot, but not complaining Smile


Mixed -
Electric fuel pump did correct vapor lock at 100F on blacktop, but not immediately, nor completely. Occasional hesitation even with pump running.
