This taking it back to the factory is all new to me. So what do you do while your unit is being worked on? Are you allowed to speak to the technician, sit in the coach while they work? Or is it like any car dealer atmosphere? We have owned some high end cars and I was a service manager at a BMW dealer some years ago they roll out the red carpet when you pull up. Is it the same when you roll up in a coach like this? After all it's pretty much the top of their product line. I just can't process the treatment I read about. I treated people with cars that cost from $40,000 to $140,000 like they were gold, I can't imagine doing it to someone with a $300,000 motorhome. Geese if all of their customers got bad support it wouldn't take long for them to disappear.

So sorry to hear this. I hate to say it but most of todays new equipment in this industry sound similar to your list of complaints. It seems like each manufacture has these problems and the worse part most do not seem like they care, they just want your money. The manufactures want to build them as fast as possible and let the dealer fix it under warranty. Between the coach builders with poor quality on materials, poor workmanship then throw the new emissions laws into the pool, new equipment scares me. Another problem I am faced with each and every day is the technician pool (industry wide) is diminishing, most of the younger generation doesn't want to work and get their hands dirty, so what is out there for them to hire is pretty sad to put it nicely, so when it goes back for warranty whether it be the dealer or the manufacture service lane the person fixing your list of issues has little to no idea what they are doing, its just a pay check for them. I have this conversation with leadership where I work on a regular basis, every so often you find one technician that is great, but its rare and becoming much worse everyday.

Carl, just air. HWH system.

Greg, do you have the model specifics for the coach you are looking at and maybe the engine information, size or HP? I'm sure someone could shine some light.

Rich, good point about how many times we enter and exit, ours will also compensate. funny story; I was cleaning up inside and moving stuff around Saturday, DW was sitting under the awning and it exhausted air near her, she came up out of the chair leaned inside and asked me if I thought that was funny . I tend to be a practical joker but I was innocent on that one .

Looking forward to the photos, I replaced the microwave (regular microwave not a convection oven/microwave) on our last coach twice. Original one failed the dealer told me a standard table top version is all I need to install, so I did and it lasted a year and failed (no air circulation). So I replaced it with a RV specific one with a new mounting face plate kit. Sounds like you have the air circulation issue figured out, ours vented forward.

If you want nice you should be in Maine. We just got back and the highest temp was 75 no humidity.

Yup, it only supplies the leveling system, the tanks will still fade out over time, but the coach will not sink. I have no idea how it works yet, other than when the coach runs out of air and you push a button on the HWH pad you can hear a compressor turn on, but it is much-much slower than the main air supply system to reposition the coach.

Nice place, just returned from there. Friendly people, clean park roomy sites. And best of all its right off of I-495 and RT 1.

Bad record keeping or poorly designed software would be my guess, either number should reference the same coach if their program could support it.

Same here, mine are metal with screws also. My filters are so simple to access. Easier than our old coach.

Carl, all electric coach connected to a 30 amp plug? If you need AC do you just cook outside? Or on top of the CG's tower

I will loose 30 lbs of pressure over 6 days in the summer, in the winter it's 2x faster. When I pull in to where I'm going to stay I feather the brakes until the governor kicks in, I let it build air, when the dryer purges I shut it down, set up, (water, electric, sewer, cable tv line, slides out) then dump the air suspension and press the level button. I need as much air as possible to pick that beast up to level it.

Carl, do you have vents in the ceiling "registers"?

Walt, I also bought the rebuilt cylinder. yea, very simple design that works great!

Sorry I forgot

Carl, when you stop by I can run my camera up there and take a look. Fixing it is another story .

Well, sometimes they are caused by mice eating up the aluminum. My guess is it is just material failing from age. Take a vent off and look up in there. I also have aluminum in mine, just not dropping any. I just have my vents rattling when air blows thought them. I'd rather have your problem. We need to exchange recipes....no you need to leave some recipes with me, my DW and I have similar palettes to you

J- what year and chassis do you have? i.e. 2010 Ford class A. Which would most likely be a 2009 Ford F53, That is what you will need to look them up under.

Those flexible lines have an internal sleeve, Teflon lined inner tube, once it's compromised you are done. Glad he was able to fix it, mine had to be specially made.

All I get is an error message. Something like 0gb allowed you exceeded the allowed file size. My old iPhone would work, the new one with the better camera will not, picture too clear?

Ugg, on the side of the road none the less. Glad you were able to locate it, did you do it yourself? To bad Plymouth Indiana, if Plymouth Massachusetts I would have came over to help. We are here for two more days.

That's where we stayed, easy to get to from I-278 just one right turn at a light. No sewer but they have a honey wagon service. I just paid them up front and hung a sign on that door, everyday we would return and the tanks were empty. It's in Jersey City, 500 feet away from the CG is the water ferry to ground zero. It was cheap and easy to use. Some sites are tight we stayed in a site that was facing the marina, which is full of Yachts and large sail boats. For what it is and its location, it worked great for us. We never felt unsafe, and you are also within walking distance to some high-end restaurants. Here's our site at Liberty Harbor:

Thanks Kay, I just sent you an email. joe

No, we are in Massachusetts in a pretty busy area. If that is all I have to do I will grab some. I believe there is a Walmart down the road. do you use it in your black tank also?
