The handling problems are the fault of the Ford chassis. Some handle well with no additional suspension mods or add-ons. Others require sway bars, trac bars, better shocks, etc. Some handling problems can be improved with four corner weighing, correct tire inflation and proper wrought distribution.

I had the Qwik Fill system on my previous motorhome. Careful... it is possible to overfill the batteries if you squeeze the bulb too hard. I found out the hard way.

Motorhome is a class A gas Newmar Bay Star model 3209. Equalizer leveling system will not correctly auto level. I've followed the procedure to manually level then "set the null" as instructed. But then when using auto level the front wheels are raised off the ground. When I manually level, I extend the front jacks until planted then the rear jacks until planted. Raise the front... then actually retract the rear jacks a little so I can extend the front a bit more without raising front tires off the ground. My driveway isn't overly slanted, so getting the coach level manually isn't a problem. Is the auto level feature not capable of retracting jacks as necessary during the leveling procedure? Thanks, Ken

Check out the surge guard and EMS units made by Progressive Industries. After much research comparing Progressive Industries to the Surge Guard brand, I chose Progressive Industries. Made in the USA, lifetime warranty. Very happy with my decision, very solid well made unit EMS-PT50C. Ken

I called CoachNet to renew and asked about the FMCA discount. I was told I needed to sign up for a "new" membership through the FMCA site. Did it that way, saved $10, so there IS an advantage to belonging to FMCA !

I have a Dometic power awning on my new coach with metal wrap around weather shield on it. Isbthisbtype of awning prone to this unfurling problem?

Beware it IS possible to squeeze the bulb too much or to continue squeezing it and overfill the batteries. I did this by accident on my previous coach.

Why? From the research I've done it appears Progressive Industries has a much better warranty.

After considering both the portable and the hard wired surge protector units from Progressive Industries, I'm considering getting the EMS-PT50C portable unit. I'd like to hear from owners of the portable unit. Any downside to using it? Do you feel it's secure by locking it to the power pedestal? I'm thinking perhaps of cutting the shore cord inside the bay near the transfer switch, putting male & female plugs the cord, then plugging in the EMS unit in the bay. I could then bypass the unit if it ever failed and had to be sent back for repair. I appreciate all thoughts and opinions.

The company in Oregon is AM Solar.

When I called Coach Net to renew and asked about the discount I was told I would need to sign up for "new" Coach Net membership through FMCA rather than simply renew through Coach Net directly. So I did, saving ten dollars on the annual fee.
