Just dropped it off to Freightliner this afternoon. At this time they have offered no opinion. I'll hear from them in the next couple of days. In the meantime I am curious to find any other members who may have experienced the same or similar situation. I did not take it for a drive with them .... at this time the amber or red engine lights are not comming on. The "Service Cooling System" happens all the time.

We have just come back from a 5700 mile trip from Boston out 90/80 to Denver, Tetons, Yellowstone, Salt Lake, Cheyenne and back to Boston. The trip was everything we hoped it could be. This was the first long trip in a new to us 09' Sportscoach Legend 500 TG with a Cummins ISM 500 and an Allison 4000. Early on the way out we started getting "Check Cooling System" warnings. The operating gauges were all indicating ideal operating conditions. I called Freightliner and was advised that there can be false warnings and since the engine temperature gauge was indicating a normal range then there was no immediate critical issue and I should have it looked at when I get back . I dropped it off at Freightliner today. The ambient temperatures during this trip were quite high. As we continued on with the trip I had occasion to use the engine brake and at different times I would get an amber Engine warning and in fact on two occasions got a red Engine alarm. When I received the alarm I would shut the engine brake off and the alarm lights would eventually go out. I stopped using the engine brake and was not happy on those 7% grades in the Rockies. I am reaching out to the FMCA community to see if anyone else has experienced such a situation. We appreciate your feedback and thank you in advance.

Brett ... Thanks for the quick reply! We do plan to keep the GC for awhile and only tow the one vehicle. I wouldn't attempt the install myself ... if I expect it to work. Thanks again!

I am new to FMCA and find the forums extremely informative. We have recently purchased a 45' 2009 Sportscoach Legend and now working on a Toad assembly. More than likely we will tow a Jeep GC and we are considering auxiliary braking. I have noted the comments, favorable reviews, and researched the Airforce 1 and M&G. I would like to know if anyone has experience with the Roadmaster Invisibreak. Your comments are appreciated. Thanks! Poppo
