Hi Sid,

I echo the same comments from the other guys. I mounted a 12v Hayden
radiator fan just to the right of my batteries, drawing cooler (hopefully)
air
through the curb-side louvers, and blowing it across the motor. I hooked it
up
to the same wiring as the original squirrel cage fan (bearings went out...and
I heard it was an England-made fan, and about $1000 to replace if you could
find it) which turns on the fan at a set temperature. I also connected it
through a toggle switch easily fingertip accessible through the louver fins,
and
I turn on the fan manually after driving and stopping for the night/day.
Usually 30 minutes or so, and when the air coming out the other side of the
coach is cool, and I flip the switch off.

That turbo gets pretty hot...cooling it down keeps the bedroom cooler, and
hopefully increases the longevity of the engine and it's components. Did it
for under $100.

Pics available to anyone who might 'em.
