Welcome!

There is a flip side to everything. Any sales adds would have to be reviewed by someone to make sure they are not a scam, human trafficking, prostitution etc. That would have a cost associated with it and with any business the profit would have to match or exceed the revenue collected from such ads. That involves lawyers to draft contracts and such so the business isn’t liable for someone that bought something or endured expenses traveling to look at something that had..less than honest photos. Think about how many times you hear fake ads where someone showed up and got robbed. Who’s responsible now (no need to answer that, just think about it). It’s a slippery slope folks.

What Richard said. I am only aware that those rules apply to Commercial vehicles. Sounds like you spoke to someone that is confused, probably caused by the GVWR of a DP coach. That alone seems to create confusion at most DMV’s.

Usually the wandering comes from over inflation. Tire dealers are notorious for inflating tires to their max PSI. There’s a good chance they caused their own problems.

That tire is not a typical replacement for the 295/80R22.5. It doesn't meet the weight requirement's of the correct tire for your coach.

We have one of those in the house, DW uses it mostly in her office. Works fantastic!

The only time I have seen that much of a gap was when emissions were being introduced into Diesel motorhomes. Many manufactures over bought non-emissions chassis to give them time to adapt to the new heat insulation and space constraints that were around the corner.

The biggest concern I have experienced with a gas coach is the rear axle walking side to side. 2" of movement at the rear axle will make the dog's tail wag and will cause you to constantly compensate. I have installed several of these that made a huge improvement. I am sure there are other companies that make these, I always bought from them because I like their attention to detail and overall quality. https://supersteerparts.com/search-results-page?page=1&rb_custom_field_84cdc76cabf41bd7c961f6ab12f117d8=2019&rb_custom_field_099dafc678df7d266c25f95ccf6cde22=Ford&rb_custom_field_20f35e630daf44dbfa4c3f68f5399d8c=F-53+V10&ymm=true This will not make it ride smoother, but it will help keep in planted in the lane when large vehicles pass you. I can say from experience, after a days driving with and without its extremely helpful! A beefed up set of sway bars will help the side to side sway also. It depends on how much you want to spend vs how much wallowing you can tolerate.

Here is what I did with ours. I bought the mount at Target. I went with a much higher weight rating than the TV actually weighed to help with bouncing. There are rubber feet under the sound bar to help stop it from any bouncing that might occur. Our cabinet is real cherry, not particle board so mounting the bracket with nuts and bolts through the windshield side wasn't an issue.

Those solenoids are notorious for problems. When ours is flipped I loose AC/Heat pumps also. They come back after the EMS system deems voltage is adequate and stable automatically.

Glad to hear you are all fixed up!

That's what I thought at first, when I looked up a few Alfa models they all had cabinets throughout the interior. Guess we need some more detail.. You are absolutely correct, structural integrity of the slide out would be a huge concern. Some manufactures make them lightweight with flimsy wood while others build them out of welded steel box tubing and some are pop riveted aluminum channel.

Someday! That sounds like a fun experience.

ibgboh, can you elaborate? "Slide out" are you referring to adding cabinets to the basement slide out tray or installing cabinets on the interior cabin slide outs?

Not sure what chassis ALFA utilizes. On the Freightliner the top of the fuel tank is buried between the frame rails just below the interior floor deck, you must drop it for access. Most of the Roadmaster lineup, the top of the tank is accessible from the basement, easily. Spartan, couldn't tell you and from memory each chassis model is slightly different.

Interesting, We wouldn't fit either with the Jeep . We are 65.5' total combination length. That certainly warrants a phone call for some clarity. I have had MANY "Pull through sites" where the jeep had to be split and parked sideways behind or in front.

rkammerer, Welcome to the FMCA Forum. We have been considering upgrading our older dash cam with one from this company. Their products seem to be of decent quality and fair pricing. Were were looking at a 3 camera system for side protection/view. https://www.dashcam.co/collections/dvr-dash-cams

Welcome to the FMCA Forums! Merry Christmas and happy holidays

Merry Christmas

Just be careful, Rodents love those heated basements.

Keep in mind not all Aquahots are created equal. Mine utilizes Ethylene glycol (traditional automotive antifreeze).

As mentioned, don’t start it unless you can physically drive it for at least 25 miles. You’ll do more harm than good.

Where’s that ??

Last minute Christmas ideas, You’re welcome guys!
