Looking for some advise. My Damon has developed, slowly a problem that was originally only on occasion, and now is most of the time. The controls for the 2 slides, refridge control board, water heater control board and furnace control board seem to stop working. Rarely, they all come back to life, but this past week they were all out for the most part. When 1 fails, they all fail. I can jump the slides and make them work, but not the 3 others. A tech at the FMCA Midwest rally suggested a faulty circuit board, relay or loose ground. Anyone else have any ideas?

Just got back from the FMCA Midwest rally and Entegra was there represented by RV One. All the coaches I saw had signs in them that said 3 year warranty. Most members there were very impressed with the new coach models that were there and rumor has it, they sold 6 while there.

Being that the coach in question is a Holiday Rambler with a hydraulic fan, I can assume fairly accurately that the steering gear is probably a Sheppard MD100, which is not adjustable. No mention of why the gear was replaced when the problem seemed to be a bad power steering pump, but someplaces guess at problems rather than make proper diagnoisis and repair based on the diagnostic information. Therefore, the steering binding problem is probably on internal to the gear. Hard to figure the correct repair when the coach is not in my shop, but sounds like someone is not familiar enough with steering systems.

It sounds like someone maybe installed the pitman arm on the steering gear in the incorrect position. To check it, you will have to disconnect the drag link from the pitman arm and with the engine off, turn the steering wheel all the way to the left. Count the turns as you turn to the right. Now go back exactly halfway and you will find the center of the gear. If the front tires are in the straight ahead position, you can reattach the pitman arm back on the gear in the correct position and your steering should turn both directions the same amount.
