Information Please - '85 PT36 on Ebay
I get your point Marcus, but when a 20+ year old coolant hose located in the
engine compartment fails, I don't consider that an overheating problem. That's
owner neglect.

Neglect is the cause of failure of nearly all V92 series engines in motorhomes.
Not just the Wanderlodges, but the Prevosts and Newells too. So aside from the
age-related failure of a cooling hose, the greatest number of failures are low
mileage coaches that received little use, so the owners didn't change the engine
oil. Engine bearings and cylinder walls get destroyed by the old, acidic oil.
It's not uncommon to see a 20 year old coach with 20k miles with a rebuilt
engine. It is very unusual see a regularly driven and maintained coach requiring
a rebuild, ever.
