Oh yea the Workhorse guru explained and we did. 87% frt and 91% rear, all said and done ended up with 85 lbs. from the TABLE. Real issue is ???? Who has had a bounder with the same road noise coming right up through the dash (speaker) . I know that riding across expansion joints creates noise , but would you think a muffled rumble is more like OK rather than a cup of Joe ending up on the ceiling after the startling BANG BANG . Fleetwood has been in design for this type (bounder) for well over 25 yrs. and they now are just realizing they have a ride issue with the dash ,,,, "Comon man",,, when a dash is literately attached to the FRAME what are you going to hear??? It sure is not normal conversation or rock and roll... Any body out there with a quite Bounder with a Workhorse 8.1 , I venture not. Your help is most appreciated. Dennis

Oh yes the Proud Workhorse guy spent a couple of days talking and looking for answers - Tires @ 80 psi based on weight ratio and front to rear balance which is 88% at the frt axle and 91% on the back and based on the Workhorse travel chart, which we never knew of nor received, Our tire pressures were only 5lb to high--no biggie from the Workhorse guy... and we spent the afternoon at the Les Schwab dealer doing a dial indication of High / low spots on the rim and the tire highest to break down and rotate the hi /lo spots counter acting each other ,1/8 plus and 1/8 minus .... bottom line ... no change Mfg. air max is 95 psi but the Fleetwood sticker inside is 85 psi .

Good day to all . I am not very familiar with the HOW TO , but here goes, Our 2011 bounders dash board reflects-intensifies all road noise coming thru the frame of the chassis . So bad is this that the bulkhead bolts /screws pop out the longer you drive on American Hwys. The problem is the EXPANSION joints ... when driving back to IN for repairs (invited by Fleetwood) it just got worse and worse. Then the drivers front windshield broke at the top center shaded area... no rocks, it just popped... nothing abnormal has been done to this coach. Had it put back together ( they say) repeated attempts have failed. Is this normal - did I miss a college class or something here???? I even took a few videos of this - of course all unplanned but it does show the rattling...We are at the WITS END of this and need to make some intelligent decisions rather soon. Help help ------- emails are very much appreciated. Dennis

Thanks so much for responding.. I was out this am and was greeted with two messages. thank you... Ok Our Bounder seems to rattle apart the distance you drive and roll over the expansion joints on the hyw's .. we were invited to go to Decatur to be repaired and the trip alone brought out a BROKEN windshield during the drive (at the sun shade top center about 24 in long ) but most other repairs done on we go to go home 2250 miles back and guess what more stuff.... popping those screws again Dennis and Heide

We have a 2011 36R bounder. It now has 16k miles on it with 7k of that driven back to the factory for repairs. The main issue is the dash board (spring-board) each time crossing expansion joints on the highway rattling you and anything and everything right off of the dash board. We have had many discussions with Dealers , Fleetwood etc... to no avail. Our trip to the factory even included a break in the windshield while driving ... We feel the END CAP is coming lose and twisting (driveways ...fuel ) ... This problem along with other NEW ness issues we are working thru but isn't 16 months long enough to straighten this out..??? Any help out there is greatly appreciated Dennis and Heide
