Hi all,
I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with Apollo Motor homes and the Dodge 440 engine. It has 57K miles, starts good, runs good. I have had it for about 4 months, I know it's an oldie, but in really good condition (except for everything being loose).
Every time I drive it, within about 5 minutes it starts smoking somewhere and starts coming into the cab. I thought for sure it had to be a leak of some kind.I can't find any oil or fluid leaks, but the engine appears to run super hot, but cool according to the gauges. Any Ideas? Thanks.
P.S. Anybody have a Users manual for the home (not chassis)?

Thanks to all for taking time with my questions.
The fix to my problem was a little of all your advice. The main culprit was the crankcase vent valve really gunked up and dripping onto exhaust man. Adding vents by wheel well (thanks) was a huge difference in temp. I can now troubleshoot the exhaust leak next and it should be good. Thanks everybody.
