A couple questions about my 1996 Bounder
Hi guys! I just got my 1996 Bounder with 11k miles. It’s the Ford chassis. I noticed the fuel pump in the rear seems to be a little on the loud side. Granted the tank Only has a quarter of fuel in it ...

Fill the tank and then check the sound level of the fuel pump.
And, note how much fuel it takes to top it off compared to the gas gauge.
Possibly your gas gauge is off? They're not real accurate but you need to know how close they are so you don't run it too low.
I fill our 96 Southwind, GM chassis, when it gets to 1/2 tank.
And, the fuel pump does sound a little louder when the tank is low.
I don't know if the sound echos off the partially empty tank or, it's just my imagination. :)
As for dragging the receiver, maybe it's just an unusual situation on that particular street? Did it drag anywhere else?
I have a long overhang and have never had a problem.
If possible, have someone stand along the street and video the Bounder going over that section of street. You will see what's happening.
I wouldn't do anything until I was sure the problem is with the RV and not the road surface.
