Mel, it looks like you put an image in your last post but it isn't visible to be.
All I see is this:

At least on my coach the Intercooler is a couple of inches shorter vertically than the radiator. When I look in from the front I can see the bottom few rows of the radiator showing below the bottom of the intercooler. I suspect access from the bottom would almost - but not quite - look straight up into the gap. Maybe I'll make a small hole first. Just big enough to eyeball the situation.
The front is perfectly clean. My concern is grass and leaves trapped between the CAC and the radiator. Just like in Mel's 'bird nest' photos. The way it's built you can't see in there. With a simple modification I will be able look with my own eyes and know it's clear.wolfe10 wrote: ↑Wed Jul 14, 2021 3:59 pm Jeff,
Not sure I understand the problem. Have you raised the bed and looked inside the fan shroud? That should give you access to the front of the CAC, and as you say a few rows of the radiator core. That (the front) is where the vast majority of the dirt and debris will be deposited.
Yes, you can also clean the radiator from the back of the coach, but most of the debris will be on the front.
