DIY Gen Radiator & Fan Bay Remodel
Ever ask yourself “What’s behind my generator radiator”???? I never gave it much thought. My gen has never given me a moment of trouble. If it’s ain’t broke, don’t fix it, right???
On my bus the genny radiator and its fan setup are remotely located two bays away (fwd) from the generator. In Sept of 2015, I did a DIY remodel of the bay. I found that there is a large 120v motor that drives a belt that drives a large squirrel cage fan so as to draw air thru the radiator. Also, there is plenty of heat barrier/sound deadening material, and ours was falling down/apart. Our belt was probably the original and was in bad shape. You may want to have a look-see at your setup? ON OURS, to adjust/change the belt, NAPA# A39, there’s a removable panel in the inverter/electrical bay.
Also, when I got the old material off the walls, I found another secret door. This door provides access to the Prevost OTR air/heat evaporator and heater core. I was hoping to find a treasure chest, or at least a map ;). I’ll keep searching.
Here are some pics.
Sorry Jon, one of these days I’m gonna polish me pipes. I’m not worthy

Oh my gosh Jon, are those spray painted copper pipes.
He should forever be banished from the Liberty Club. 🙂

Dang , Look at that Belt . You might have caught it just in time ? Thanks for the Part # and The Post !

Buddy, I cried when I saw black painted pipes. Surely no one would even consider doing that, but then I figured someone photoshopped the pictures.

Liberty owners need to organize an intervention with Lonestar and get his copper piping brought back to its appropriate level of luster.

We have to cut Lonestart some slack here because if I were to guess someone before him painted the pipes.
But he now knows it is a sin to have black painted copper pipes on a Liberty and if he wants to redeem himself we can appoint him to the position of Liberty Copper pipe inspector, with free dues as his pay. He will be allowed to inspect any Liberty he comes across in his travels and at rallies and if the pipes are not highly polished may be authorized to assess a fine.
