  1. I ran Continentals on my last coach and was happy with them. Hankook are probably ok but make shure you get the right load range. They don't show it on the website and I have raged on them but they haven't added that information. They need to. Bill
  2. Don't fret it welcome to the forum. Bill
  3. I was trying not to imply someone would bring in the slides with just a few gallons of water on top (feels like it) that might do something like that. Bill
  4. james68, welcome to the forum. Buying a new coach is a great way to get rid of the Dimond shield problem. If/when I have to take it off I will not put it back. Bill
  5. Well I would like the OP to give us some more information. The date of manufacture is on the Chassis information tag. It must be in the coach. I have a 2007 Spartan chassis under a 2008 DP. This is the tag that gives you all your weight specks. I would trust this number over something your insurance agent dug up. Op show us a picture of your weight tag. Bill
  6. Joe is right on the money. Something else I found that helps is to replace the bushings in the front sway bar with polypropylene bushings that are firmer. Bill
  7. I don't know if you know this but if you don't feel like doing it yourself erniee is one of if not the best flooring guy in the country. Bill
  8. One extra precaution I have found useful is after a rain and before brining in the slides. Tilt the coach front to back to drain any water pooled on the top of the slides. Bill
  9. First welcome to the forum. If you look most (this is a hint for what you should do) have their RV in their signature. Second if you think a retired Marine MSgt is the sane one in this group, you may fit right in. Bill
  10. Carl, Sad to hear about Nancy Wright. Condolences to Joe and family. I am getting a little work done like a new awning and fix some scratches (look like tail swing) that were there when I got it. Just waiting on the opening and parts to take it in. Would like to have it before the CC rally. Bill
  11. rayin, you are right I forgot to mention a good all wheel alignment is critical. Adding some extra castor is a good move to (it makes the front wheels track strait) do/check when doing the alignment. I think track bars help stabilize the suspension so you don't have as much movement like when a truck passes you. That second link I posted is interesting because it has a kit with all the upgrades. Bill
  12. First, welcome to the forum. There are a lot of good upgrades that can be done. My first step would be to upgrade the shocks, I would look at the Koni FSD. Try Shock Warehouse. https://www.shockwarehouse.com/ . Personally I would back track bars at the same time. Found something interesting when looking. https://www.ultrarvproducts.com/Stage-3-2006-Ford-F53-Class-A-20-22K-GVWR-Handling-Kit Bill
  13. No kidding!!! I finally found it. Try this Erniee, get to a page that has the header with all the drop down boxes in black and white. The first heading to the right of the "FMCA" is Membership. Click on that then click on Dashboard. Scroll down till you find it on the left side. On my computer it is the 5th thing down and is red. Good luck in your search. Let me know if you find it. Bill
  14. I put Continentals on my last coach. Continental 275/80R22.5 HSR2 Eco Plus 5120850000 list price $616.30 FMCA price $418.52 load range H What load range are you running now? Bill
  15. Welcome to the forum. That should be a pretty simple trip. Go north till you hit I-10 then go west to Houston. Pick up I-45 north. (wave at the Sam Houston statue as you go by) I-45 to I-20 then I-20 west. When you get near Fort Worth take 820 north (keeps you out of the down town area.) Follow 820 around to I-35w north. Go north on 287 when it splits off. 287 to Amarillo. Now you have at least 3 choices. You can go up 87/287 to Boise city where it turns into 385 to Lamar. Then it's 287 to Limon where you pick up I-70 west to Denver area. Route 2) from Amarillo, go west on I-40 to Vega then take 385 north to Channing, at Hartley pick up 87 north. Follow 87 till it runs into I-25. I-25 north to the Denver area. Route 3) Take I-40 west to Albuquerque then north on I-25. Little longer rout but I like ABQ.😁 Drove rout 2 this last summer. I have driven them all and a couple of variants. I don't see any big problems. Bill
  16. What is the part number/model number? Have you tried the local sources or is this a warranty type issue. Bill
