    The first agent I talked to was going to set up a quote, but at the last minute she said the high dollar underwriters would need to approve it before she could proceed. They were the people that said it was to expensive for them to cover. I have not had a claim or ticket in years. I asked her to ask the underwriter again. She said no, that the decision was final, sorry - good bye!

    Just contacted the phone number provided in the FMCA magazine. I was interested in obtaining a quote for my 2005 Country Coach Magna. I was told the dollar value of the coach was too high for Geico to insure. I was told they were mainly interested in less expensive RV units. I expressed my surprise, since my unit is worth no more than $180K. I have quotes from a number of companies, and the dollar value of my coach was never an issue. I believe the ad run by Geico is misleading. The company needs to be banned from placing advertisements in the FMCA Motor Coaching.

    The leveling system on my 2005 Country Coach Magna has experienced a catastrophic failure of the rear control box. It shorted out and burnt-up the main circuit card.

    I am concerned about driving the coach to a repair facility. Has anyone else experienced this problem and will I be putting the coach at risk to drive it.

    Any thoughts are comments will be appreciated.

    Stuck in an RV park.

    Brett, the tech is speculating the top of the piston melted without breaking and has caused the compression to drop below firing level. I am not sure I believe that as this engine only has 40k miles, oil changed every year and as not smoked or leaked oil since I have owned it the last three years. It was been a great engine. I am hoping someone out there has seen this happen before and it was some weird cause not requiring an engine dis-assemble.

    16 to 20 grand to rebuild the engine is a lot of money out of the pocket.

    Coach is currently at a CAT dealer. Engine diagnostic was run and it showed number six cylinder was not firing and there is a lot of crankcase blow-by. Tech said it was injector. Replaced same and still had the same problem. He did a pressure check on cylinder, that was Ok. He is now saying the engine needs to be pulled and head taken off for piston inspection.

    1. Has anyone with a C13 had this same problem, and 2. Any suggestions on what might be going on.

    thanks in advance - frustrated owner

    Comment:
    I bought a 2011 GMC Terrain because it can be towed 4 down. The only hassle is
    the need to pull a fuse every time it is towed. The only complaint I have is the front of the
    car sits very low and it tends to hang up on parking curbs.

    Hi. I am Gary and my wife is Brenda. We just moved up to a motor coach from a 5th wheel. We have been in the RV lifestyle (off and on) since the early '70s. I am semi retired (consulting) and planning on doing a whole lot more traveling since we bought our motorhome. It is a 2005 Country Coach Magna, 42'. We previously had a 36' 5th wheel and before that, way back in the '70s, we had a pop-up. I am retired Navy and retired aerospace. We take delivery of our new, to us, motorhome next week. Look out, Colorado.

    Does anyone have an FX35 as a toad? My wife loves her FX35 and does not want to part with it. However, my online research to date seems to point to hauling it on a flatbed trailer as the only option. Am I missing something? I was thinking in terms of a dolly, but I can not find a driveshaft de-coupler for it. Can I keep the boss happy, or should I break the news that we need a vehicle that is more "toad-able"?

    Thanks, in advance.

    :rolleyes:
