Default Re: How hard is it to swap radiator?

My RV is lighter than that. My temps don't climb unless running the A/C and towing over 60+ MPH. I have also had them continue to climb when over 100 MPH without towing. The temps drop as soon as I slow back down to the speed limit, but to me this is still not a good sign and is an indication that the cooling system in the H2 is poorly designed.

BTW, I am in Dallas area, so I know how hot it gets here

Oh and BTW, I'm in central Texas. Last time I pulled the camper it was around 101 degrees outside, in the shade, still no overheating problems.

Oh and if you're ever driving through Arizona and your motor is overheating, just turn the AC off (shouldn't need the AC in Arizona this time of year), less pull on the motor.

I put in the Be Cool radiator. I was having overheating problems. Now it just stays where it's supposed to be (210) in the middle of the summer (116 here yesterday). In cooler weather it stays around 190 or so. The trans does run cooler though. Never goes over 160-170 when it did before.
