  1. I think the inspection camera is a good idea. Could be several things. Could be plugged up by mud dober nest. Could be the vent has slipped down into the tank till it is on the bottom of the tank and won't vent. Bill
  2. Good job. Some of the welds I have seen on RVs are realey bad. Bill
  3. That was a smart move. Brett is interested in making customers happy. Also if she is going to trade her coach in it is going to halve to be fixed any way. Bill
  4. Welcome to the forum. What are you talking about? Bill
  5. I would recommend Sta Lube Wheel Bearing Grease. It does a better job of staying in the bearings where it does the most good. http://www.amazon.com/automotive/fluids I would pack them before you leave and check them when you get back. Make shure you set the pre load properly. Many don't get it right and blame the bearing failure on the grease. Bill
  6. Try Rev Group for at least the part numbers. https://parts.revgroup.com/store Welcome to the forum. Like Herman said Inland Truck Parts is a goodsorce. Bill
  7. Yes Quality is a problem all through the industry. Some are worse than others. You might look at a better quality used coach. They may have worked all/most the problems out. Bill
  8. sdllc03, Welcome to the forum. This may sound silly but look at the front of your xantrex Freedom 458. In the upper left area are a couple raised bumps. They are switches. Make shure they are on. Let me know what you find. Bill
  9. Welcome to the forum. Well this thread goes back to 2014. I tried some of the links and they don't work anymore. I did a little digging and came up with this. CONTACT INFORMATION FANNY TIMMER 5024265636 fannybill@gmail.com WEBSITE https://newmarfmcaclub.weebly.com/ Bill
  10. They even have motel rooms from the early days and I swear I have stayed in it. Bill
  11. Another place that has some fascinating displays is Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation. https://www.thehenryford.org/visit/henry-ford-museum/ I highly recommend it. Bill
  12. I agree Ray there is no excuse for not doing it right. I can't get my RV close enough to do it. Bill
  13. A possibility is Pine Lake RV Resort & Cottages, https://pinelakervresortandcottages.com/. I am going to be at Worden Pond Family Campground, https://www.wordenpondfamilycampground.com/ but it may be to far for you. Bill
  14. Look at your shift pad. There is a button on the upper right side marked ECON. It will help on keeping the transmission from downshifting to quickly. Like on overpasses. When on a hill if you can't accelerate in a gear you need to down shift till you can accelerate then stay in that gear and keep your RPM up near the peak HP range. Bill
  15. I think they are listing it for a customer. Did you look at the rest of the site? I would get it inspected but it is $35-45,000 below what others are going for. I would sharpen my pencell LOL. It checks all your boxes and then some. 500HP, tag on a 40 ft coach, Side radiator, Generator on a slide. Absolutely a quality coach that sold new in the near $900,000++ range. Bill
  16. Look hear https://www.nirvc.com/Sales/Inventory/5760A PPL has some you mite like https://www.pplmotorhomes.com/used-rvs-for-sale/diesel-motorhomes/2007-winnebago-vectra_rv-45928 This is the best one I have seen in that category. This is a amazing coach for the money. https://www.motorhomesoftexas.com/Pre-owned-Inventory-2007-Foretravel-Motorhome-Nimbus-340-Nimbus-6800824?ref=list The emissions law changes were mandated for 2008 however some makers stockpiled 2007 chassis and used them for part of 2008. I have a 2008 with a 2007 chassis and no emission equipment. Let me know what you think on the coaches I linked to and look on the sites as there are others. Bill
  17. Well hear we are, over a year down the road. Still no answer from John Walker or anyone else on the governing board. Yes Jon Walker had a event talking about improvements but I couldn't get in on the format he was using and got no reply from the emails or text I sent. I kind of miss the people posting using profiles created years ago and never used. The first post was to derogate something posted hear. 😅 We wish DB well in his new job. I think the future does lay with the new people getting into the RV life and all those goin full time. Why can people on You tube have nearly 100 people show up just to see their new RV? Because they offer information to the newbie's. Bill
  18. Welcome to the forum. Where is your home base? A visit to the FMCA rally in Gillett Wyoming would be a good trip.😁 Bill
  19. I did look at one that was in my budget range(and still ran) but they had painted the whole interior in a " Antique white". All that fabulous burled wood ruined. That and the gen set had to many hours. I would seriously look at some of the Fortravel coaches. But till then I will poke along in my little camper. Bill
  20. One of these days I will have a big fancy RV like you guys. Bill
  21. I wonder just how far and how long it takes to stop a 48,000 pound coach from 85??? Probably measured in foot ball fields rather than feet. Bill
  22. Welcome to the forum. I, like others would look under the bead. you might have to remove some protective wood panels. Follow the heavy cables. Have you asked teck support? They are usually pretty good. Bill
