Subject: Re: SP36 Author: John C. Smith, Jr. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 02/ 9/ 03, 8:46pm In reply to: Fred Hulse 's message, "Re: SP36" on 02/ 8/ 03, 4:46pm We also have a 1991 SP-36 we purchased new. It now has about 180,000 miles, and we are pleased with it. We also have had heating problems on rare occasions when the weather is hot and we are climbing very long hills such as I-70 westbound west of Denver. It is important to steam clean the radiator periodically as it collects dirt and oil. I ran a hose from the engine breather tube to the rear bumper to divert any oil exhaust from the radiator. I consider the quality to be as good as any other 1991 model Wanderlodge. However, some owners consider it to be underpowered. We are not in that much of a hurry, however. I would be happy to answer any questions you might have. John C. Smith, Jr. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

[> [> [> Subject: Re: SP36 Author: Jim Harrison [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 05/ 1/ 03, 5:40am John and Fred, I also have the SP Series and had a problem with it running warm on very hot days until I paid very close attention to the transmission fluid level. I noticed if it was filled to capacity the engine would preform warmer then if I reduced the level slightly. Since doing so the problem has gone away. I also extended the blow off tube as many have, and I use a degreaser on the radiator from time to time which cuts any/all grease and dirt which may have accumulated. Proper bleeding of the radiator/coach heat system is also very important for cool running. On very heavy demands I will turn on the manual override fan, and switch the coach heat system on for very short periods. This helps with the coolant circulation yet I shut it off prior to added unwanted heat to the interior. A few tips which may help you, but I no longer have those problems. Thanks, Jim [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
