    I recently made a comment about Camping World being heading towards bankruptcy and it was aggressively refuted as only rumors , well their 3rd qtr results were announced after the market closed today and it doesn't look very good. Revenue up 6% and gross profit decreased 9.3%. CWH is burning through cash quickly.

    Jim S.  NO!  Marcos L.  Owns both CW & Gander Mountain,  GM went BK in 2017 and was bought by CW for $35.4 Million.  CW has 40 subsidiary Company's and does sales of $4.792 Billion!  4th quarter earnings was $982 Million!  

    So, keep what you got...don't go with rumors!

    In the initial post, the OP said it cost $150 a year.  I bought a three year contract from GS for less than that.  I've needed them twice, once was  a RF blow out...they brought a new tire and changed it; the other was last January where, when following the directions given us by the CG, we got stuck...they pulled us out.  I'm well ahead....financially.

     

    For those of you using Good Sam for roadside assistance and/or for extended service plans, its being reported that Camping World could be close to filing for bankruptcy protection within the next 12 months.

    I'm going back to my previous comments. Your coach is doing exactly what mine was each time the clutch failed. I am going to suggest calling the Freightliner Service Center in Gaffney, not the 1-800 help number, around 8:30 one morning. 864-206-8683. Hopefully it won't go direct to voicemail. Since Pat is no longer there, because she would know, briefly and not to techy explain to the new lady your problem and ask if you can ask Dave for his diagnosis. He is the shop foreman and is usually at her desk going over the daily work orders at this time.

    I'm with Carl. This post is so vague its only purpose is to take up space. No coach information, no location information, no dealer information and you want me to pm you so you can tell me? You may or may not have some valuable information on re-aligning a slide but its useless at this time.

    As already noted, some people think the park is being "snooty" but I appreciate when park owners use this to protect their investment and personally I would prefer to not park next to any rv that has not been taken care of. Same goes for the neighborhood I live in. I'm glad we have restrictions in place to protect my investment.

    Same thing you're experiencing, temperature fluctuations of 15-20 ℉  towing on level surface. First repair under warranty by the Bryan/College Station Freightliner. They used the wrong grade bolts doing the repair and by the Grace of God I was within 18 miles of the Gaffney Service Center when they sheared and the fan became wedged in the shroud.  Freightliner towed me to the repair center in Gaffney and replaced. I was back there for my annual service several miles and years later when they had to replace it again. Freightliner installs the clutch, not Cummins I believe. 

    2008 Fleetwood Bounder 350 ISB. Check with the Freightliner 24/7 help desk and see if your year still uses the same clutch.

    Determine from Cummins or Freightliner if you have the Horton fan Clutch. If so, this component is problematic. I replaced the Horton Clutch on my previous motorhome with a 350 HP ISB twice in 60,000 miles. First time was first year of ownership with less than 15,000 miles and again at 40,000 and was showing signs of same problem when I sold it at 60,000 miles.

    I agree with what Richard has stated.  I've been using the ACH transfer method to pay bills for almost 20 years and I guess I've been lucky because it seems so many have been scammed some way or another. I feel its safer than writing a check and handing that to someone. That check has my name, address, account number and routing number that can easily be used in nefarious ways. The ACH method is all done computer to computer and granted the systems can be hacked but my check can be much more easily hacked, copied, stolen, etc. I know and understand that many don't feel comfortable with this method but it works for me.

    I find it hard to believe we had an abundance of diesel 2 years ago, Joe. We export so much diesel that its difficult for the refiners to keep up with the demand. If tanker trucks were lined up for weeks to deliver, the question is why? The demand certainly has done nothing but increase in the last ten years and with essentially no new refineries added.
