While driving, we have a strong burnt diesel smell in the bedroom. I haven't investigated the issue yet, but wanted to see if anyone has run into this? Maybe a vacuum is being created and somehow sucking the exhaust back into the coach?

Also getting an occasional raw diesel smell up front. I am assuming the line is leaking to the generator.

I am taking to Colton Truck in a couple weeks to give me a once over on the entire chassis.

Be prepared to replace the fuel lines to the genet and the hydro-hot, I am surprised they lasted this long for you. I have a 42' Ovation and had to have the wiper seals replaced on the bedroom slide, not only for smells but for potential water leaks. Your bed room slide is a rectangle with out the drop down, so you shouldn't have the issue I had. Other wise I don't have a clue. TWI 2004 Intrigue 11731

we had to replace our fuel lines to the generator. Cummins did the work.

we also replaced all the coolant hoses after one blew. they weren't even the right type of hose.
