Again THANKS!!! to everyone for the amazing input.... The beauty of this scenario if there is one... We are not obligated to anymore money as the Dealer and Salesman are people I trust.... The crappy part is that out of all the DP and Gas Coaches we looked at over the last 11 months we pick this one.... The good part I suppose is that we became very educated at trouble spots on all the Used Coaches we went through... As wolfe10 said.. "This not Normal" and that sums it all up....
The Coach went to Maintenance for an Inspection and we have hired a private secondary inspection for our peace of mind after the Dealer gets done with our list of repairs....Along with an answer as to what is really going on.....
Being that it is out first DP we both feel like we are getting into uncharted water and need to rely on all of you to throw us some tips and opinions and what seems like very sound advice.... Thanks Again and will post the outcome if anyone wants to hear about it....
Wolfe10... Nice Checklist!!
If what you say in the last part of your smart advice and I quote
"Even if the DPF is plugged, it should not exhaust soot into the coach-- it would just materially reduce performance because of exhaust back pressure.
Exhaust/soot should exit either the side or back of the coach, not in the engine room.
Also, check weather stripping between engine room an interior." Unquote
Then I ask ..With a DP if it is the Weather Stripping then is it normal to still have minor Exhaust/Soot in and around the Engine Compartment??
I say this because generally speaking the Engine Compartment is relatively clean...
Thanks Again to ALL!!!
