Sounds like two problems, you have a parasitic bleed somewhere or you are leaving something on that draws current. It also sounds like your unit is not charging on house current. Do you have a converter or inverter/charger?
-
Yes, we have docking lights over each wheel well.
-
Congratulations!! Now let the fun begin...
bus looks really clean
-
I have no idea, it may be if you are parked on the side of the road, it offers a light on the lane next to you. I have used it when it's dark and need to hook up in a campground.
-
I was wrong, the docking lights are the ones over the wheels. The roadlight is the light on the DS, usually located over the wet bay area. It's usually yellow and I can't tell you how many times it was switched one for days with no one noticing it.
-
Ours was leaking, pulled off all the water hose and found the clamp holding the end of the hose to the unit was not tight enough...
-
If you look at your MH, near each wheel you will find some lights that are angled down and towards the rear. These are you road lights, handy when backing into a site at night
-
On a 2009 it could also be a degraded brake hose.
-
If I got the wheel and tire off, I don't think I could move it!!!
-
I have not tested this but I have read that the GFs used in MHs are different than ones for households...something about the way MHs are wired to ground.

If you are talking about the "topper" that covers the top of the slide, I guess you could remove the roller part from the slide itself and let it roll back to the rain gutter but if you do, make sure you have two people when you do.

Agree with Herman, if the arm has bolts at the joints you can snug them up but if it has what most have, large rivets, you can remove the arm and "stake it" which entails using a center punch on the base of the rivet to spread it a bit...just don't go too far or it will be tough to open...

Go to the Tiffin RV site, there you should be able to find and download what you need in their archives.
-
If you can find a Pilot station, they have scales that will do front, back and toad in one shot...just make sure you stop on the right pads....

When we visited SF a couple of years ago, we stayed in Pacifica at a park on the ocean, San Fransisco RV resort, it's $$ and basically a large parking lot, pull thrus but right on the ocean, great sleeping and views.. We then took the BART into the city each day, a whole lot easier than fighting that traffic.

I like to live dangerously, I fill up between 1/4 and 1/2
-
We got our financing thru the dealer and as a result got a little better deal on pricing. Interest rate was 3.75 so that was not too shabby either...Our dealer checked with several lenders for the best rate..
-
Don't know about your Mh but on our Tiffin, there are 2 stacked heavy duty drawer slides that operate our genset slide. The front end of thr MH is attached to the front of the slide frame and can be adjusted..I would suspect that the problem is in the attachment bolts or the slides themselves.
-
I use the def pump when I fill up but ours is on the DS. You might want to check out Walmart, they now sell their own brand of DEF for a good price and is supposed to be just as good as others..
-
According to Jim who has a similar setup, that transmission does not have a parking pawl....
-
Hydraulics was mentioned....have you checked to see if the system still has sufficient fluid? If the system was heated, the fluid could have boiled and is now NG...
-
If not mistaken, WB offers a 1 yr warranty on their MHs, plus Freightliner has a warranty. First thing is to file a report with WB and with Corporate Freightliner. Freightliner must know that WB is welding the frames,........if Freightliner is not welding them per Wb specs.....
..
I should be shocked by your report but unfortunately this kind of thing happens far too often. Surprised you did not notice a poor handling situation.

20 hours ago, kaypsmith said:If I read correctly, he said 30%, not 30%off. 70% off of msrp would be a pretty good deal on a 6.5 year old coach if in good to great condition.
Ah yes, after re-reading the post, that is a good deal....

3 hours ago, bbnuttmann said:Depreciation is not one of the fun things you get from RVing. I love RVing but hate wasting money. The way you buy a coach greatly affects how much depreciation will cost you. I went out and bought our rig at the bottom of the financial meltdown in 2009 from a formerly rich person who was near broke. I also was very careful to get a coach that almost everyone that posted on several forums said good things about. And I read and re-read through hundreds of listing in the RVCG information on what was a good coach and what was not. I paid under 30% of new price on a 6 1/2 year old coach.
So our depreciation on our rig is not so much. People that go out today without doing their homework and buy a brand new rig from an unreliable maker might suffer lots.
There is no substitute for learning before you buy. There are huge huge differences in motorhomes.
I hope you paid a lot under 30%. 25-30% off MSRP is the norm for purchase price of a new MH...:(
Lug Nut Torque

Maybe I'm wrong here, but 800 lbs of torque seems to be a lot more than is required. Ours are set at 450.
