YUP, our 1st coach had one, kitchen was stainless steel. Bathroom sink was so bad I replaced it, new sink was $27.00 plus my time to install.

To be completely honest, most will not comment how good a service is unless they exceed expectations. All you usually hear are the bad.

back to the original post The Future of FMCA ME, People like us are the future of FMCA! When the current regime passes those torched of responsibility members will be there (including myself) to receive them and carry them on, just as it has in the past....

I hope the competition steps up to their level of quality or exceeds it!

This is going to hurt the RV industry. Shutting down two manufacturing plants. https://www.kcrg.com/content/news/Flexsteel-to-permanently-close-Dubuque-manufacturing-facility-570042841.html

I believe you are looking for this product? https://www.etrailer.com/RV-Exterior/Camco/CAM25113.html?feed=npn&gclid=EAIaIQobChMInv7Mp4us6QIVForICh1dpgT-EAQYASABEgIGCvD_BwE

And...We have to consider the potential for panic stopping. You don't want something unsecured to greet you while you are trying to maintain control of the vehicle. Everything we have changed in our floor plan is mounted better than the factory furniture it replaced. I don't like those kind of surprises!

Every time I have seen this type of leak it was the P trap connection to the tank. Have you tried to run the water as mentioned above and look down towards the tank to look for the source?

Look around the shower base, out in the hallway, often there is plumbing access. Usually it’s a rectangle access screwed closed.

tmcoffin47@gmail.com, Welcome to the FMCA Forums. Nothing comes to mind other than whats hidden under the dinette. That is often a place to put components like a transfer switch, furnace etc... If nothing is under it start the careful removal process (try not to damage anything, you might have to put it back in), should you stumble upon anything questionable, snap a picture and post that on here.

If it is a Maxxforce 7 the only way I'd do it is if a relative gave it to me.

Do you not have a gauge on the dash to monitor the level?

No need to be like this guy https://nesn.com/2017/01/travis-pastrana-can-drift-just-about-anything-including-a-motorhome/

Howie, very common on Freightliner products from the big trucks down to the Sprinters. The Def Header is the DEF tank sump, filter and potentiometer unit (for the gauge if equipped) (no pump, that sits on top of the tank). No recalls that I am aware of. The biggest issue we see in the North East is if you fill the DEF tank in the winter and park it for an extended period of time (overnight), since DEF freezes, by poor tank design (Freightliner tanks) there is no room for the DEF to expand as it freezes and it cracks the plastic header within the tank. We have a policy at work DO NOT FILL THE DEF AT THE END OF THE DAY, FUEL TANKS ONLY. We change them by the dozens as a result of that and what we have become a custom to "routine failures for no reason". When the engine cannot see the DEF tank level it will send the engine into derate (power reduction), I have had them just shut an engine off at highway speeds already also if it was damaged and shorted internally. The trucks have an "ENG FAULT OVRD" switch (that's how its labeled), you can press the button on the dash while cranking the engine and it will restart to limp it somewhere, I believe it will give you 4 hours at that point.

Horsepower and torque are relative to the weight of the coach and its GCWR. Said another way, smaller lighter coaches do not have large displacement engines as its not needed, perhaps its desired but still not needed. There are charts that determine these configurations. Ours weighs loaded 34,000 plus a 4800lb Jeep in tow. We are 400HP 1250ftlbs of torque, if I am not thinking it will slow and crawl up and over a mountain. I must downshift prior and it walks right up over the hill. If I wait for the transmission to do it it wont happen until mid way up the hill and there goes a lot of fuel to regain momentum that late in the game. When this happens I usually just hang to the right and follow the trucks to save on fuel. YES to Bills point, I have to watch my Pyrometer, the transmission will not downshift soon enough and those Exhaust Gas Temperatures will rise to almost an unsafe level, if I take control of the situation and downshift it they do not even come close and my engine has no HP or torque alterations just a modified fuel delivery system.

Richard, I am not saying it WILL damage the engine, the point that MUST be considered here; You absolutely must be on your toes with a modified modern diesel engine watching gauges while driving. You can literally sink your foot to destruction really fast in a modern day diesel that has been modified if you are not thinking clearly. You also must understand how everything works as you step harder into the throttle and know what its going to translate on the gauges. Most motor heads (like myself) probably would have a problem, the average "joe" will destroy an engine, I have witnessed it first hand. Today's diesels are NOT built like the ones that gave the diesel engine its good name. The foundation is built to withstand slightly more than the power it produces, some will argue that they are not even built to withstand that much power when you see one with catastrophic failure and no obvious root cause. They are now built to be lighter in weight to help curve emissions and fuel consumption which equates to less robust internal parts right down to the block, some are even multi-piece blocks with portions made in aluminum bolted together.

For future reference should anyone stumble upon this post and need Roadmaster chassis Identification information here are some good documents;

You must become one with the machine, literally! I had my entire body stuffed up on those wheel wells to reach the mounting hardware behind those bags .

June, got to get away from PA, been too long since we had a vacation!
