On my 2008 Tioga 31M. with a Ford v-10, there is absolutely zero play in the steering wheel, standing still or while moving. When I move the steering wheel in either direction, I immediately have a positive feeling, meaning that I am immediately engaging the movement of the front wheels, without any perceptible slack in the movement of the steering wheel before engagement. There is no time or space lag. My Tioga now has over 110,000 miles. For the OP to have a unit with just 12,000 miles and that much play, well, it just is not normal. Also, for a mechanic to refuse, or to downplay, or neglect to at least address that issue, well, it is not acceptable.
Thanks for the reply, and I agree completely with you. But, being in a small town where only a couple of shops will even work on a motor home, it limits my options where to take it. I worked on cars as a body man my entire life until I retired. So, know my way around vehicles pretty well. As soon as I can walk again, because of a severely sprained ankle, I will get out and mess with the box. I should have done that to start with instead of taking it 140 miles round trip to have the almost $700 caster sleeves installed. Thanks again for the reply.
