Good deal, I have had dealers try to tell me don't worry about the date they have lots of tread. And as Five posted you hear from people that have problems not happy travelers. Just to put it in perspective, according to RVIA "The research, conducted by Dr. Richard Curtin, RV industry analyst and director of consumer surveys at the University of Michigan, reveals the number of RV-owning households has grown to a new peak of 8.9 million households, up from 7.9 million in 2005. According to the report, 8.5% of U.S. households now own RVs, up from 8.0% in 2005." So there are lots of people traveling that don't have problems. BUT, that's the big but, I do recommend you get the FMCA Roadside Assistance Program for the time you do need some help on the road. Bill

Better is to hide a set in a compartment you don't need a key to git in. I have used the propane fill door and the outside refrigerator access panel or the hot water heater panel. Bill

Looks like a nice coach. What are the dates on the tires? Now you need to add it to your signature. Bill

One way to see if the slide out controller board is bad is (if it will reach) just unplug the harness from the one that is working and plug the harness from the one not working and see if it works. This will eliminate any guessing about if the motor or other part is bad. Bill

Make sure the battery disconnect switch is on. Like Rich said we need more info. It will help you get better answers to put your coach in your signature. See how others have done. Bill

To carry this thread further astray. Do you remember that when you called someone and they answered you didn't have to say "where are you" You knew exactly where they were. Back to the problem of pjfromny's thermostat. When you spray the contacts with cleaner move the switch back and forth briskly a few times to help clean the contacts. Bill

Just an interesting side note I was visiting a friend yesterday at a Tiffin Rally In Grapevine Texas and spoke to Mr Tiffin. Bill

In the picture directly above , there appears to be two wires damaged in the top penetration. You might want to check them out.

Most likely it is a broken shear pin in the gear on the aft side. Bill

Call Fleetwood for the best answer. I would look under the bead. There is probably a thin plywood cover you need to remove to get to it. Bill

Until then try spraying with a dry silicone spray to keep them from sticking. Bill

Yes it does, but I remember being on a "party"line Bill

Well as the OP is looking at 2010+ the most likely engine is a ISL. Bill

Heare are a couple of sites to look at. http://motorhomesoftexas.com/ http://www.mhsrv.com/ http://www.pplmotorhomes.com/ Bill

I would look hear and in the owner's manual under recreational towing. http://www.fmca.com/motorhome/towing/204-towing-guides-towing-four-wheels-down.html one other good source of information on towing is http://www.remcoindustries.com/Towing/ Bill

I wonder if you could pull the slide in draining the water then put it back out so it will dry before storage. Bill

You have gotten some excellent answers so far. What year are you looking at? If you can I would get a new enough coach that it uses DEF. They will get better milage. Someone will correct me but An old rule of thumb was that you needed one horse power for every 100 lbs of gross vehicle weight. I.e. a DP with a GVW of 40,000 lbs, needs roughly 400 hp. Not all manufactuers adhere to that guideline. I hear to many people complaining about not being able to do a certain speed over hill X. There is a reason they give you 6 gears, learn how to use them. Look at the practical side how many miles do you spend climbing hills on a given trip? There isn't a diesel out there that can't climb any hill with pavement on it if driven correctly. The other thing is you will not be the only one on most hills. If you get caught behind slow moving truck traffic just slow down and look at the scenery. I was on several hills this summer and it would not be safe to pull around and try to pass the trucks because of short sight lines. The overtaking traffic was doing 70++ and you are trying to pass at 35-40 or slower because you had to slow behind a truck. On one trip this summer I drove over 8000 miles over most of the big passes out west with a little 5.9 300 hp ISB towing my CR-V. I didn't feel handicapped. Bill

Yes it could be the problem. Try taking the wire loose and cleaning all surfaces. My guess is the light is grounded through the mounting screws. Bill

Welcome to the forum. You might contact them about repair parts. http://www.trci.net/contact-us Bill

Yes as you noted floating the litter box is the definitive grey tank full indicator. Bill

Sorry for your problem. Hope they get you on the road soon. Check out that clear Gorilla Tape Herman talked about. Bill

Well as long as this thread got drug up again, I thought might like this video. This guy has done several on the subject. https://www.youtube.com/watch?annotation_id=annotation_1585930301&feature=iv&src_vid=dfTd0Slt_cU&v=zYJCLzGaaB8 Bill

There are a couple apps that will help you find places to stay. Also if you want to stay there. RV Parky, http://www.rvparky.com/ RV Park reviews, http://www.rvparkreviews.com/ Bill

I haven't used them but have had them recommended. I might go up in power to see if that helps. http://www.hatchlift.com/rv-hatch-replacement-springs Bill
