Apparently a 105 degree or higher reading can shut it down? Well according to todays reading it did get to 110 or did it? Depending on where the actual probe is located on the rig....maybe? Anyone know  ?? |
I know where the temp probe is located on my Itasca but Newmar may locate it somewhere else. Mine is mounted on a support member behind the front grill, a bit off-center toward the driver's side.
Don't forget, a generator's output is downgraded for every 10 degree rise in temps and for every 1000 ft rise in elevation. Had to re-read my manual a couple of weeks ago as a refresher (my generator fuse kept tripping in 105F temps and up at 6,000-7,000 ft elevation.
