I am the originator of this posting. It is now 16 months since I bought the motorhome in Aug 2014(2006, 32' Four Winds Hurricane with ~4000 miles in 2014). I had the 6 tires changed, the coach aligned (It had been grossly out of alignment since it was purchased in 2006, did not handle properly and had to have big blocks added), a stabilizing bar added and the oil & filter replaced with synthetic oil.

When I got back in Sept 2015 I had the oil changed again with synthetic oil.
And thanks to all who answered my original cry for help.

Glad that you had success!
