Arch, we must run in the same circles. I just bought mine. By the way, Sears
has them, or their hardware store had one here. I paid $39 -10% sale. I like
tha fact that all the fittings are brass. I asked the radiator shop where they
fixed my A/C when I lost it in Barstow Ca. The outside temp was 116 and the
water was running a high in the radiator. I was worried about the heat, the A/C
and the engine, but not to worry, the A/ C failed so I had to run without it
anyway. In his opinion the misters do work and work well. He suggested that
not only does it help the engine it helps the A/C run better. I plan on
installing mine for next year. For those of us who run through the desert in
the middle of summer, I think having the misters is a good idea. For those in
other areas, the current fan clutch and system is adequate. I have not had a
problems up to now, until that trip when the heat was so unbearable I hurt. The
problem even caused my onan not to come on. What a hot few hours until the sun
came down.
Arch, what I do suggest is that you run your water through a set of filters to
get out as much crud as you might have in the water system. I have a set of
filters that I use when I fill up the water tank. I plan on doing the same
thing. The system 2000 was very reasonable and a good quality product.
