  1. I had the same problem with a Safari Zanzabar and magnum chassis . Rode like a wagon with steel (no Tread) wheels. I spent way too much money trying to repair the junker to the point my wife finally said no more ! I traded it 2 days later for a Dutch Star used which is a dream to drive and own . Sometimes you get to the point where no matter how much you put in to one it doesn't get any better. Weigh your options which way seems cheaper , maybe it's time to punt , I'm sure glad I did . Hope this helps
  2. In 2013 we purchased a 2003 Dutch Star 4005 and that was the best purchase we've ever made . After suffering thru 4 Years of a Safari Zanzabar we finally bought the right coach and wouldn't change it for anything . The ride quality and workmanship of the coach is far superior than anything we've owned in the past including an American Eagle we bought in 2001 .
  3. A word from the Dumb . Always remember if you make a claim it will cost you more next year when you renew . Weigh the cost factor
  4. I went to National General this year after Allied (Nationwide) charged me over $2000.00 increase for having one claim last year . Not only was National General cheaper the coverage was better and they have a storage policy where if you don't use the coach all the time you receive a discount for the months you have the coach in storage . By the way they were over a thousand dollars cheaper than the cheapest quote received . Micchael
  5. You might try ACME Compressors they supplied the compressor for my Safari Zanzabar and work great Michael
  6. I just found and repaired one that I had and it was a leak at the uline ice machine water supply . Also when we had a 99 Safari Zanzibar I had the fresh water lines under the cabinets would loosen at the flex connector hooked to the sink. You can find it by taking out the cabinet drawers below the microwave and looking at the lines where they come through the wall to the rear under cabinet compartment. Hope this helps. Michael
  7. I keep ours in the bedroom and also use arm and hammer to help with the smell . Clean smelling

  10. Going to be passing through Livingston next Tue May 9 going to Port Aransas need a decent campground to stay overnight . Any suggestions greatly appreciated Regards, Michael
  11. Did this trip last year on 160 going to Creede and learned real fast you will have to down shift on the La Vita pass to keep from overheating . Beautiful scenery but a long climb if overheating . Had to stop twice before reaching the summit . Bogged down when following a trailer that had slowed down . 160 is a beautiful smooth highway and after La Vita is great , Michael

  17. As the Wagon master with the Red River Rovers I am having trouble finding RV Parks that will reserve 35 to 40 Sites for a future rally . We have the problem that we have grown too large and I need any suggestions as to Parks that will have room for 35 to 40+ sites for future Rallies in the Six State Area . You can contact me by email @ michaelhillhouse@msn.com so we don't take up too much space on the forum. I would appreciate and help from Current or former Wagon Master or anyone who could help , Six State consists of TX, AR , LA, KS , MO , OK Regards Michael
  18. Good Looking coach . Welcome to the Forum
  19. Better hope it's the fuse and not the ECM itself. I lost the ECM on my Cat when I changed the Batteries and touched the wrong wire.
  20. Bill A, I agree with you I only follow my wife's instructions > Usually we end up with her telling the Parkers more than once " I will Park him he doesn't like any one else's instructions " and I won't. Michael
