Can anybody tell me for sure which direction my side radiator exhaust is supposed to go? I bought a used 01 HR Imperial and when I tried to clean the radiator(s) it was blowing from inside to outside. Long story short, I made a nice trip (always overheating) and found out that I really needed a new radiator. It has been replaced and I now get a nice airflow; still from in to out . In looking at it I am sure that the fan is running backwards as air comes in from inside then hits the radiator CAC, oil and hydraulic coolers and then the dash a/c radiator. I have never seen that before on an automotive system. BTW, the dash a/c starts out cool but warms up as I go and that is what makes me convinced that the airflow is backwards. I did call Monaco and they said it should be out to in. Please remove my confusion as I am getting old and would like to get something right at least once. Thanks!

My Camelot also pulls air from the outside to cool the CAC first then the oil coolers then the engine coolant.

Side radiators should pull air in from the outside to bring cooler air in.
Rear radiators push air from in to out.

Many thanks to those who responded. I will now make and appointment to take it in and either get the lines reversed or reverse the fan blades. I wonder if the hydraulic motor can be reversed without any ill effects? There is a lot to find out about this thing. I am rapidly coming to the conclusion that it was abused and repaired by incompetents. Oh well, at least it's getting better every time. Good luck to all!
