Great to here!  And thanks for following up - it helps the next guy.

Yeah, the 440s are just too big for the engine space to be able to cool down easily.  As most folks better insulate the doghouse so they don't get burned, that will also prevent the engine heat from dispersing.

I'll ask Clipper Joe to check this thread and offer more guidance for you.

Another post about vapor lock. I fixed the overheating problems, but I?m still held hostage by vapor lock. I was only able to go out once last year because of the fires in the Tahoe area where I live, but the one time I did get out vapor lock struck again. My Clipper has the Dodge 440, dual headers, and a fairly new Elderbrock Performer Q-Jet Carburetor (model 1905). The Clipper runs fine, but the campground I like is off a steep climb up in the mountains. If the engine is running around 210 degrees on a hot day in the mid 90s and I slow down the engine rpm such as to pull into the camping area, the Clipper will die and not start again till I let it cool down and spray starting fuel into the carb as pumping the gas pedal will not get gas to the carb.  I know this was probably a problem in the past with my Clipper as there are several cans of starter fluid in the cabinet. The carburetor already has a composition spacer block installed between the carb and the engine cylinder head. I am going to add a new mechanical fuel pump and install an electric fuel pump next to the gas tank that will have a switch in the cab to flip on when needed. I am ordering the parts to install and hope to get out later in the month once the snow is gone.  If this works, great, if not I going to try adding a hood scoop like Clipper Joe recommended to get more air into the engine compartment.

Follow up on the squealing, I just needed to tighten the belt tension a little more and the noise went completely away.

I tried texting for details.  thanks

I have been looking for a small RV lately.  We have a small place and even a small RV will be difficult to keep off the street and maneuver around our neighborhood when needed.  But I really like the fiberglass bodies and the styling.  I am a Dodge fan from way back so I have been looking at converting a Dodge van to a camper bc I can't find an RV that doesn't look like it's been a Meth lab.... then an American Clipper drove into our neighborhood....   Where has that been all my life!!!   
I have found a couple around.  We will see if I can nab one.  I am in Portland Oregon so if anyone has any suggestions on what to look out for, or if you know of someone who is parting with theirs - let me know.  Thanks!!!

Would like to know the details.  I am in Portland Oregon. 
How bad were/are the leaks?  Do you have pictures?  Where are you located at?  I am new with the Clipper line - how long is this one?
I saw one in my neighborhood and I really dug the look.  This is an all fiberglass body, right?
Thanks!

Selling my 1979 Dodge American Clipper motorhome. Rear bath, side kitchen. It's a fixer upper. Needs engine work but runs and drives. Will need brake work as well. It has a few leak spots, one in rear closet other at cabover bunk. 50,800 miles. Selling for $2500.

Call or text 808 419 4825 for details.
Thank you

Check the fuses.  If the fuses are OK, then check the line out of the fuses and the lines in for the pump and display.
