Title: First real trip
Post by: ohsonew on June 03, 2019, 09:58:32 pm
Just finished our first "real" trip in our coach. Did a little over 1700 miles (yeah I know that many here will say only 1700 ) in 6 days (4 driving days). The coach ran great most of the time. The only trouble was in the driving through virtual walls of water. Suffered a loss of power for a few minutes on the side of I44 in Oklahoma. Once it cleared itself, no problems. Seems like I remember some members who made a deflector shield for the air intake several years ago. I didn't think much about it then, but I will search the archives, it makes sense now.

Larry,

Open and check your AIR FILTER.  If water got in, it is shot.  Replace or get a dusted engine!

John Haygarth was the inventor of the piece you speak of.

Brett, absolutely my next move. Didn't have the tools to loosen the bolts holding it in with me.

Bruce, I was thinking it was John's invention & Chuck thanks for finding the link for me. That work thing is still in my way 12 hrs a day.
