Generator Heat

Assuming the 2019 uses the same tank I can say that the only drain is in the exterior compartment. It's a nylon plug.

I was curious about the differences in the 2019 and kinda bummed after seeing what they did. It looks like it is 100% solar ready and you only need a panel on the roof. They also added a black tank flush and changed the shore power plug.

The one change that has me curious is the screen that they added to the generator door. I'm wondering if there is a known heat issue with the solid doors.

Congrats on the new RV!
I also have a 26HE. The first time I ran the generator it shut off after about a half hour. I had the door closed and it overheated and shut down by itself. I have read on this forum that it shuts down at 120 degrees. Now I always open the door if I am running the generator.
