DIY Gen Bay Upgrade Remodel
I did this gen bay upgrade remodel in Sept of 2015. I did a thread here on PC back then but I didn’t include enough pics and/or info.
I shortened the electrical cabling, fuel lines to unclutter the bay. The extra length can be easily damaged when sliding the genny in and out.
I found a secret door(see pics, no treasure chest) behind which lies the Prevost OTR air/heat evaporator & heater core.
Also, when starting the genny back up, it was difficult to get the airlock out of its cooling system. To do so , open the 2 petcocks near/at the genny thermostat area, put a slight pressure,
Notes:
1) took me a week or two to do this project
2) It darn near destroyed my knees
3) used .063″ 3003 aluminum polished treadplate to build the slip-over front cover
4) used .125″ 6061 aluminum treadplate for the bay floor
5) replaced the gen compartment 120v squirrel cage evacuator fan, Dayton#1TDR3
6) installed all new heat/sound barrier
7) installed new air filter, NAPA# 6296
8) replaced the coolant/radiator hoses w/two Dayco# 75113GL
9) replaced the fuel lines w/new, 5/16”
10) Installed new alternator belt, NAPA XL 25-7417
11) replaced various coolant hoses & clamps with new(1″, 1 3/8″, etc)
12) changed both fuel filters, Fleetguard #s FF5059 & FF5147
13) changed oil w/7 qts Mobil Delvac Super 1300 15-40w
14) changed oil filter w/Fram XG3593A
15) made custom aluminum treadplate floor and slip over belt/pulley coverI’ll post a “Generator Radiator & Fan Bay Upgrade Remodel” thread soon.
