Out of curiosity where is the Genny located on the chassis, towards the front near the engine, mid or rear? On the ACE, it was up front on the drivers side, near the engine compartment. It seemed the heat from the engine would flow aft while driving down the road and would interfere with the operation of the Genny. If you factor in the heat generated by the tires and drive train as well, it all took its toll.

I never had my Gen modified, I traded it in for a Miramar 34.2. On the Miramar, the Gen is located on the drivers side rear, just aft of the axel. Runs fine while driving down the road in 90+ F temps. So far, no issues, while parked!

It seems the basic issue is air flow or venting? There must be some thought into directing or flowing ambient air, so it will carry the heat from the engine away from the Gen compartment! I know this is easier said than done!
