If the frame is level the body might be crooked. Years ago I had a Pace Arrow which sheared the mounting screws on the right front side. The body drooped. The fix was to jack it up and refasten the body to the edge of the floor.

I'm not saying its right but I don't believe everything I read or hear. Proof of that is this discussion. That's why history is important.

I would wait at least a year after the car has been out and see what the history looks like with it being towed. Remember the cars are designed to be driven not towed.

Since this is your first trip I would suggest before you leave take a short trip for a couple of days to get the hang of it. Make sure you understand how all of the systems work. Even just staying in your driveway for a couple of days would be useful. If we are traveling across the country we usually stay at a Walmart or Sams Club. They have an atlas which has all of their locations for $6.97. I drive about 6-7 hours a day, about 300 miles. Take your time and see this great country.

You might try swapping the two breakers that way if the problem stays on the front there might be something wrong with the ac or wiring, if the problem moves to the rear it might be the breaker is tripping before it should.

Did it ever work? If so maybe in the menu it is switched to do another function. Just a thought.

I'm not saying what the manufacturers are doing is right, just the opposite. My experience in dealing with major manufacturers and all their recalls and almost weekly service bulletins has led me to the conclusions that the consumer does much of the "testing" in the real world.

Is it being reset each time? Push the button on the bottom and then drive it and see where the indicator goes.

I have never worked for GM. I worked in the repair business, boats and rvs, for over 50 years. My conclusions are drawn from motorhoming for 35 years, over 400,000 miles, and talking to many rver's everywhere. Remember these vehicles are designed to be driven, not towed. The rver has a need for a toad so it is up to the individual to select one that does the best job with the fewest problems. Everybody needs to do their research to determine suitability. You can't always beleive in what you hear or read.

If the oil lubrication modification worked we wouldn't be having this discussion. It doesn't make a bit of difference how many billions of dollars they spend on r and d if the product fails in the hands of the user. Regardless of how much testing the manufactures do, the public will find its weaknesses. This is true with anything.

I am very serious. One has to choose whether to be comfortable with a proven trans configuration for trouble free towing or go with an automatic that may or may not make it to the next stop. The manufacturers don't tow their vehicles on their test tracks or on the street they do a little spinning on the chassis dyno and thats it. Its up to the public to do the long distance testing. Reason being is that the toad market is so small.

My suggestion is to not be an early adopter and let the model be out and tested for a year or two and see the results before making a decision on which vehicle to buy. I recomend a manual trans or 4 wheel drive that can be shifted into neutral. I have towed a Chevy Silverado 1/2 ton with a 5 speed manual for over 95,000 mile without any problems.

Thats why there is fine print at the bottom saying words to the effect than changes can be made without obligation for units previously mfg.

We always stay at Eagles Nest campground in Pigeon Forge. Stayed there for 2 to 3 months for 4 times in the past 5 years because we worked part time at Dollywood. Clean and well maintained with a laundromat.

If it's harder to keep cool when traveling than sitting still, check to see if there are air leaks under the dash from the outside.

My recommendation is to stick with a vehicle that needs the fewest modifications to make it towable. Aside from the normal tow bar and brake system and maybe pulling a fuse or two that should be it. Shift into neutral on an automatic four wheel drive or into neutral on a standard trans. It seems that the more devices you have the more problems crop up. I tow a 1/2 ton Chev Silverado p/u which has a 5 speed manual transmission, for over 95,000 miles and no problems.

Be sure to check battery voltage at the terminal of the battery, both positive and negative and not at the cable next to the battery.

It's like carrying a fire extinguiser you hope to never use it.

Disconnect the linkage on the motor arm and see if there is a bind going out by pulling out the steps manually. Its a dc motor which the polarity reverses the direction so if the motor runs one direction it should run the other direction too. It may have bad brushes.

Be sure the flange which screws into the tank is sealed and the gasket or the sealer is non leaking at the base flange. There shouldn't be too much pressure in that area. Check to make sure the vent system is not blocked in any way.

Much better than the other day when we were laying out the parking in in the rain! Parked 152 coaches yesterday and 140 today in family electric. Shouldn't have too many left for tomorrow.

I parked a Road Trek in family electric yesterday at Lake Park and the member rode his bike to the fairgrounds and back today.

I have towed a 99 Silverado 1500 for about 95,000 miles. It's a V/6 with a 5 speed. In the bed is a 92 gallon diesel tank. I get 11 mpg with a diesel pusher and added to the fuel capacity on the mh and can go coast to coast without refueling.
