Sorry about your swaying and bouncing down the road, Jim.
When I was researching shocks, I read several reports with your same results with the Bilstien shocks. I selected the Koni FSD shocks, hoping for less bouncing and swaying.

My mh is in the shop for new flooring. The installer called and said the a/c was not working.
Symptoms:The t-stat will not control anything.
The rear unit is running fan only and will not turn off via t stat.
The front unit will not run at all.
The stat does indicate temp.
Since I'm not there I'm going off memory. I think its a Duo therm comfort control stat. I do have heat pumps.
Any suggestions?

Excuse me, Kay. What size tires go on a 10" wheel? I guess I should have been more precise in my statement- 205 65 10 load range E tires are not readily available.
Pixtony, I'm glad you're protecting that Lexus, those are nice rides.

Hi John,
I don't know when you tried to download the FMCA mobile app; FMCA is currently doing a massive software update. That may be your issue.
Web Site Maintenance: Some pages of FMCA.com will not be available from June 27 to July 7, while FMCA implements a new software management system. We apologize, in advance, for the downtime, and thank you for your patience.

You may want to carry a spare tire for the dolly, 10" tires are not readily available.

Why are you unlocking the steering wheel? When I towed with a Kar Kaddy SS dolly, I made sure the steering tires were straight and the steering wheel locked so the straps would not loosen. The Kar Kaddy has steering tires, maybe thats the difference. I suggest you stop frequently and check the straps since they will have a tendency to loosen.

The solenoid valve usually will have a screen on the inlet side, maybe its plugged.

We stayed a 10 days at the Grand Canyon Railway a few months ago. First class place and Williams is neat little town. Grand CanyonRailway is also a Passport America campground.
As Brett said, no problems driving from Santa Fe.
Check reviews on RV Park Reviews of the recommended campgrounds, it may help make your decision.

I recently contacted Coach Net regarding a slow tire leak I was having on my motorhome in storage at my home. Coach Net informed me their roadside service vendor would not repair a "flat" on a steer tire. I drove to a truck tire dealer where they found the valve stem nut was not tight enough. The only way CN would send someone was with a replacement tire and they said there are plenty of my size Michelin tires in stock at Discount Tire and Pep Boys. I don't believe either carry 22.5 inch tires and I'm well aware of the back order situation with Michelin tires.
My point...someone needs to understand RV'ers and our needs.
BTW...the truck tire dealer said they will repair a steer tire one time and no, I'm not calling Coach Net for any tickets.

OLD! Who said old? I will admit I'm seeing more and more gray daily. Thanks for the reply.

Ron,
Welcome to the Forum. When using the Battery Boost switch hold it down for about 10 to 15 seconds before trying to start either engine.

I have never done that, Herman. What would be the benefit? I'm always trying to learn something. Thanks.

My apologies to the OP for getting your topic hijacked.

I purchased the Koni FSD shocks and will have the FCCC shop in Gaffney install them next month. BTW...those buggers are heavy.

Hi Roxysdad,
I tried to access the Kiley Mold website also with no luck. Maybe this company can help: http://www.engravednamebadges.com/Ladder-Plaques-&-Ovals.html

If the owner didn't keep the mirrors tight enough to not rattle, it would make me wonder how did on the important maintenance items. Ask for records on oil and filter changes at the minimum.
Be careful zipping on the freeway like you're in a sports car, I assure you it won't stop like one.

Interesting. I called them saying I was looking at purchasing a 9 year old Prevost valued at $650,000, would they be willing to insure it? Answer was yes. Maybe you got an untrained customer service rep. On edit: Or I got an untrained customer service rep.
BTW, I'm not looking at a 9 year old Prevost. I'm saving for the new one.

I tow 4 down now but I towed using a dolly for several years because my vehicle was not towable 4 down. I used the Demco Kar Kaddy SS successfully for 20,000 miles. There are cheaper dollys, but none better, It has surge brakes and a breakway feature. Which ever way you decide to tow, install and use a supplemental braking system and preferably a break away system as well.

A call to Fleetwood customer service with your Fleetwood ID number will most likely get you the answer if you don't find it here.

Your new coach will have a tag axle. Remember, in slow maneuvers, raise the tag. This will result in less "scrubbing" of the tag tires. So when maneuvering into or out of a parking spot, lift the tag, especially on paved roads and sites.
Good catch, Medico. I have seen drivers flat spot a tag axle tire leaving their site more than once.

Extended warranty companies are in business to make money. Read the contract as most of them have as many holes in them as a 10# onion sack. The salesman is being totally honest.. they cover "about" everything. Find out what they don't cover, you may be surprised.
I, like many others, chose to be self insured. Just make sure you read and understand any contract before you sign.

New valve stems all around when tires were replaced.

Just a suggestion. If you are replacing all your batteries, I suggest you make a drawing and take a picture. I also labeled the cables.

One problem, Rich, the motorhome is 225 miles away. Ernie Eckberg is installing new flooring. I can't be there until mid morning tomorrow.
Thanks.
