Great, Ya'll want me to move there. I relocate to that ill be single and homeless after the first January I'll be sleeping in Carl's basement, Coach basement that is

Agreed. You could easily cut a bungee cord, make a loop, nail to the wood and your homemade tool would have something to hook onto to remove those from under the coach.

If it were my A that had this issue here is where I would start. Obtain 4 corner weights, adjust tire pressures according to tire manufactures charts, road test, evaluate. Alignment, road test, evaluate. Seek out aftermarket suspension parts to assist in getting this chassis under control. Here is one example company; https://supersteerparts.com/ Considering all of the aftermarket parts to get the Freightliner M2 (most common Super C chassis) to handle better, I can only assume it has issues also.

water lines froze, now have water running off of roof

Your only option at this point would be to have someone turn on the water while you stand on the ladder, see where it’s coming from. -

VinceSandra, Welcome to the FMCA Forums! Here is a link from the Aquahot website. I wouldn't recommend using any old "RV service" for an Aquahot unit. One of the vendors is a mobile service and is Aquahot authorized. http://www.aquahot.com/service-help/service-locations.aspx- 6 replies

Rattler, Welcome to the FMCA Forums! The last tires I bought were only 4 weeks old. Personally I wouldn't go longer than 3 months. If the 6 month window is true I guess you wouldn't have many options other than trying a different manufacture. Are you sure that is the correct size tire (sticker inside the coach displays the 235/80R22.5)?

Bruce, Welcome the the FMCA Forums! We have a similar set up as you (same year same coach manufacture), however we have Aquahot so part of this might help, the rest I hope someone else chimes in. We have "COOL, HEAT, FAN" as the options. Aquahot has its own thermostats spread out over 4 zones not connected to the main thermostat. When set our main thermostat on HEAT (which is for the heat pumps) it takes a good 5-10 minutes before you actually get heat, they start off blowing ambient air throughout the interior, which is typically cold. Have you ran them that long? As far as identifying which unit comes on you will have to turn one zone on and listen for the compressor, Monaco ducts are all connected so you will feel air everywhere even if one unit is on at the opposite end of the coach. Ours Zone 1 is the Bedroom Unit, Zone 2 is the front unit. Seems backwards too me also. If it is too cold for the heat pumps on the roof, the display will show "ICE", which means the heat pumps will not turn on due to outside air temperature being too cold. I have ONLY gotten this message below 30 Degrees, otherwise they have come on everytime for me. Most say below 36 they will not work. Our's its 30! "Furnaces coming on and off", that sounds like they are toggling back and forth due to the actual room temperatures in those zones. These I am not familiar with as I do not have furnaces in ours.

Box store, Walmart, NAPA etc. Some place that turns it fast and stored in a sealed container. I have heard many horror stories purchasing bulk DEF at the truck lanes. You might want to add these to your tool collection; https://www.amazon.com/Performance-Tool-W16500-Professional-Tester/dp/B01DVAL4I2/ref=sr_1_5?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIjKzHs4-n5wIVFXiGCh3bEAi3EAAYASAAEgLPDPD_BwE&hvadid=274072479561&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=9007366&hvnetw=g&hvqmt=e&hvrand=13310853782751750841&hvtargid=kwd-318993979639&hydadcr=24660_10400764&keywords=def+test+strips&qid=1580242899&sr=8-5 https://www.acustrip.com/cgi-bin/proddesc.cgi?s=480508 DEF Storage, general information; https://www.peakhd.com/lifeblood/fluid-thinking/a-guide-to-def-storage-contamination/ -

Puff Congratulations! You have to post some photos once you sign your name on the line. -
Welcome to the FMCA Forums! Thank you for your service.

It was 55 here yesterday, rained a lot but I’ll take that with 55 degrees any day!!

To the best of my knowledge spring is all that’s available from the chassis manufacturers. That’s not to say the house builder doesn’t install something aftermarket. The only chassis manufacturer that offered it was Paccar (Peterbilt/Kenworth) as an option. Now I’m going back a few years, I will say I’ve never seen one, just saw an option code for it once. Oddly you don’t see a cookie cutter Super C on one of those chassis often, not sure why.

Forgot Big Band!

Air ride cab and seat..still beats you up. I wonder how the cab floats independently of the house? Not to mention the house is on the chassis and the front of the cab, 1/2 is not air ride. That has to have a effect in the longevity of the construction and appliances, you would think anyway.
-
I wondered if giving this up would be worth the switch? Super C front suspension is spring. We considered a super C a few years ago, drove several.

295/75R22.5 is VERY close to the same size. Close enough to run along side of the 275/80R22.5.

that's funny! . "East bound and down" (Jerry Reed) came on once, she looked over and say's "don't even think about speeding up, I see that look in your eye and your twitching" I told her good thing were going south bound, that shoe don't fit good enough to run in it .

Gangster rap.... JUST KIDDING Seriously, Usually I am on the seek button for a local country station or classic rock, especially if headed south. Up here our country stations are pretty...HORRIBLE! or DW is talking, no reception and I shut it off, we just chat and admire the scenery.

Serial number

Marthachuck, great reminder!! If you scroll through this section you will quickly see how many don’t do that and usually up with destroyed electrical component. Common occurrence on the Transfer Switch. Speaking of Transfer switch, did you check that also, I didn’t see it mentioned above?

As puff mentioned, year make and model all played a role in which remote part number was correct for the application. Sadly several looked alike.

Air flowing through the valve or leaking out of the valve? Any issues with an air flow sound through the valve when you release the parking brake, any erratic gauge movement i.e. needle twitching that doesn't stabilize after a few seconds?
-
That's a thought! Perhaps pull it down, cut along the cabinet edge and replace the ceiling in that area with something custom that is more manageable? I saw a coach that someone installed antique looking metal tiles (they weren't metal, it was a recycled composite product) along with window treatments that had a dated look from that era and it looked great. I am sure there are many options available if you think outside of the box and you are a DIY'R.
