The inside of our 2021 Coachmen Encore 325 SS Motorhome gets hot around the “doghouse” area on the floor. We have used a heat sensor and it registers a temperature on the floor and around the “doghouse” at 159 degrees F. Have photo of 158.3 degrees F. We have had it in for service and it has been verified as being too hot, but I don’t know if the service verified the temperature. It is too hot to walk on barefoot and the 2 dogs we have stay away from the area. The unit has not been inspected by the manufacturer, etc. No warning lamps, etc, and first appeared when first used.
