Our 2006 Patriot Thunder has a TV Lift system that raises-lowers the 40" TV in the front of the coach. I expect this is common to other Patriots of similar age. The relays that control movement of the lift are located above the overhead cabinets across the front of the coach. This is an area where the heat buildup when facing the sun, either travelling or stationary, is considerable. Once the heat builds to a certain temperature, the relays will not function and the lift will not operate. Has anyone else experienced this problem? We have tried to insulate the area, which hasn't resolved the issue. We are looking at ways to transfer ambient air from the coach interior into the area and/or exhaust the hot air from the area. Any ideas?
