The engine area in the rear bath is super hot. The flooring gets so hot you have to wear shoes or walk on a rug. Everything in the bath is hot to the touch. I never thought of that being the problem but being 45 feet from the front i never suspected that as an issue. I figured all diesel pushers got hot over the engine like the hood of a car. but even with that heat I would think the front would stay cool.. how does one insulate the engine compartment in a diesel pusher//???
Our Tuscany had quite a bit of insulation above the engine, the bedroom and closet floors would get slightly warm but never hot. As I said before, I suspect your lack of cooling is a result of heat intrusion from the engine bay. I don’t know if your engine is accessible from the top, like under the bed or something, but you need more insulation over the top of the engine.
