⭐️ About this Episode:
More Mountains to Climb, More Overheating, A very bumpy road, a Surprise visit and do we miss our 5th wheel?
Planning your routes or at least checking your route is an important part of RV Travel! On this trip to Flaming Gorge I waited till the last minute and then realized we was headed on an extremely curvy and uphill mountain road (Scenic Hwy 191) that many people on blogs have said is not fun to travel on with an RV! However it’s either we go for it or skip Flaming Gorge. We decided to go for it and detach the Jeep to make the uphill climb easier. However, after things starting off well on the way up the mountain it quickly changed. The RV overheated 2 times on us and caused us to pull over to let it cool off. But eventually we did make it up the mountain and the rest of the way to our boondocking spot was easy. BUT then we got to the road to take us to our camping spot and it was over 5 miles of a dusty, washboarded, narrow gravel road. Where I met a camper coming out and we was so close to each other! Then our surprise came which was my sister and her family and we spent the next 3 days just enjoying our time together. Plus Laine and I share our thoughts on if we miss the 5th wheel or not after being around my sisters. Thanks for watching everyone!!

I always tell everyone, the easy road you will never remember, but the hard road and hard work you will always remember and tell that story for the rest of your life.

[@LoftisPartyofSix]

I agree... thanks

[@benused1]

I have exact same year , model and engine as you do and had the exact same overheating problem. There is a solution, I have done it. The engine has a crankcase blow by pipe that "vents" crankcase air out to rear of engine area. Problem is the oily air blows up into rear of radiator slowly clogging it up, especially towards the bottom. Solution is to use Simple Green in spray bottle, spray radiator , generously, from rear, and then wash out with hose and a little nozzel, again from the rear, careful not to bend radiator fins with water spray, may have to do this a couple of times. I did this and have NEVER overheated since. Safe travels.

[@LoftisPartyofSix]

Thanks for the info. I have heard of that on other forums and they call it the slobber tube. I actually am at the mechanic now and have told them about it and hoping this gets fixed. Thanks

[@soillife1]

Rule number 1. Never buy a rear radiator Diesel pusher. 2. Always buy a side radiator. 3. Regardless Simple green is an rv ers best friend. Always rince and flush well.

You need to change the clutch on the fan that cools the radiator that caused me so many problems I changed it and my coach never overheats anymore

[@guycobham4978]

Yep. What benused1 said. Pushers are famous for plugged up radiator fins from fumes of oil. Seasonal cleaning of radiator (external) . We have had truck shops steam clean the radiator, but found the best thing was seasonally cleaning the exterior of the rad with dawn dish soap and used a Radiator Genie wand from Amazon to get the corners of the rad. More gunk in the corners than in the middle. Then rinse, rinse, rinse, and repeat. no more going up hills in low gear to keep the temps down Yay !!!!!

[@LoftisPartyofSix]

Thank you

[@LoftisPartyofSix]

Stay tuned for an upcoming video!! We ended up in the shop and got the issue fixed.

[@johnd746]

I have a 1999 Fleetwood Discovery with a 275 hp engine. I have climbed some really steep hills pulling my 2007 Hummer H3 which is about the same as your jeep. Whenever I climb a hill I keep an eye on the temperature of the engine and as I see it get to the half mark on my temperature guage I down shift to a lower gear. As soon as I do that the temperature goes down. This sounds like what you were basically doing. I think you must have some other problem because you didn't even have the jeep attached. I am sure as you use this motor home more you will adjust to what its capabilities are. You probably know this one already, but I will mention it anyway. Whatever gear you use to climb the hill should be the same gear you use to go down the hill. Good luck.

If you guys upgrade again, (I know I keep suggesting lol), try a class a toy hauler. They have a full layout, including a bedroom, plus you could make that garage into a full laundry room/ kids room.

No way your rig should be getting this hot this frequently.

[@mikelohmeyer8844]

To help with your hydraulic leak, pull the fitting completely out. Hydraulic system fittings use orings to seal them, so it might be tight but will continue to leak if the oring has failed.

[@mikelohmeyer8844]

Pull the fitting, replace the oring and see if that doesn't fix your leak. As for your front jack, once you get the leak fixed you might need to bleed the line of air.

[@LoftisPartyofSix]

Thank you!! I will do that!!

[@jeepsandrvs]

In my (somewhat limited) experience with Motorhome - and I have climbed mountains several times - the overheating is not normal. I would say a coolant issue - either the collant itself and/or it needs a radiator flush/cleanout. Since you bought it used - do you know the service history? I would take it to Freightliner if it were me and get it checked out. Good luck and safe travels.

[@LoftisPartyofSix]

Thank you!! That’s actually what I’m doing as we speak! It’s at the CAT shop now and should be done tomorrow! I’ll keep everyone updated on a video about it.

[@lousylou]

Wonder if one of those safety locks for the fridge would keep it closed. Like they have in the child proof section.

[@LoftisPartyofSix]

Im not sure but Ill check.. thanks

[@donwat91]

It will work. Although Just to look and what is available go to Camping World and look . Then go to Amazon and order it. The may have them at Walmart , Home Depot or Lowe's. You Definitely need one. But until you find one that works for you use a Bungee cord. The reason I say that because you need to get in and out of the fridge for your children and a small bungee cord will work. Just hook it to the handle of the frig and what ever you can strap it to. That opening and closing is not good for it. Now , thank for taking us along with you to this place . It was beautiful. One last thing. You need to get a RV GPS for real. You put your height, weight and width and length in and it will let you know if you can go on the roads . You may have a bridge that you coach is to high to get under or you weight to much to go over. Rand McNally has a good GARMIN . It makes a world of difference. I still plan my routes with it and Google maps and satellite Goggle earth. Sometimes the going back down a mountain is worse than the going up. You know what I mean.

[@LoftisPartyofSix]

Dr. Don thank you for the info!

[@sycamorefarms5612]

We use one on our outdoor kitchen fridge. Works great. Only have to worry about latching it on travel days

[@RV_with_Noni_and_Beard]

"Mountain Directory West" and "Mountain Directory East". Those books are invaluable for knowing exactly what to expect on mountain passes. There is an app ($) but you want the info even when there is no connectivity. I know you have been concentrating on the climb, but it's the going down that is really important. A mistake going up damages equipment. A mistake going down can damage people.

[@LoftisPartyofSix]

I’ve heard of that directory and will check into it! Thanks and yes I agree!

[@RV_with_Noni_and_Beard]

@@LoftisPartyofSix look for it in any truck stop or on Amazon.

[@rvdogfl]

Your doing it right slow and easy and if it gets hot pull over and let it idle and cool down. The last thing you want to do is over heat and blow your engine it will be very costly. Keep an eye on transmission temperature also 175 degrees is very good you are showing 219 degrees and anything over 220 degrees is bad. If you are going in the mountains a lot you may want to add a transmission and engine oil cooler to keep your temperatures down. My Cummins engine I do not normally run over 2000 RPMs. I seen in another video you running at 2500 RPMs. Try to keep the RPMs under 2000 and that may help keep it cool also.

[@LoftisPartyofSix]

Thank you. I agree that I need to keep my RPMs under 2k. Since this has been happening a lot lately I started to do more homework on these engines. Currently the RV is in the shop fixing this overheating issue. Im hoping its just the radiator being clogged but I should know today or tomorrow. Thanks again.

You'll are so inspiring. After watch you I'm honestly debating trying to talk my husband into doing this ! We have 4 boys (15, 5, 8, 3) and you'll are living the dream. Really considering it. We would have to sell our home and buy and rv which I'm okay with. Hubby loves camping and nature now to talk him into this 🤔. If you don't mind sharing or I'll have to go back and see if you have any videos on this. How much does living on the road with a large family cost? What do you'll do for income? You tube? Anything else?

Just curious did you add a 3rd row to Jeep to fit everyone? If so how hard was it where did you order it from? I’m debating doing that so I can fit my 5 kids and boondock.

Awesome thanks.

What is the best app for planning rv routes with overpass info? Any other must-have apps that really help? We're newbies & need advice. Thx.

[@LoftisPartyofSix]

We don’t really plan routes. We know where we want to go and use Google Maps to get the route options. Then I use Allstays for checking the route because it lists low clearances. Hope that helps.
