American Eagle, Country Coach, Newmar

We actually started driving coaches. The foretravel had an insanely rough idle. Idle was set around 600rpm and the whole coach shook. Once you got on the gas the tiniest bit it was nearly silent up front. Highway driving was fine but it kept taking a long time to go from 2nd to 3rd gear. One time it seemed to take 2-3 seconds to change gears and the engine revved up in between the shift. Is this normal at all or is it time to run?

We saw a nice country coach allure with a pile of water under the microwave :( It's amazing that you can't find a coach that is problem free for this $$ bracket.
