Winne to Country Coach

Well we just traded our trusty, reliable 11 year old Journey for a 2007 County Coach Allure 470. We're still at the dealer waiting on new tires and a few other minor tweaks. I drove it today and I can only say Wow! to my first drive in a tag axle coach. Reading through the owner's manual tonight and my head is spinning.
  • Congrats......I think you will LOVE the CC compared to the Journey....BTW a 2005 journey was my first diesel pusher.

    Need to check and see if it has the wet PTO installed, if not get it installed ASAP

    Also check service records if the trans filter has been changed, that is a 5k service the first time along with the HYD filters that drives the hyd fan and steering.
    Good luck and enjoy it.

    Thanks for the tip. This is a one owner coach and the dealer put me in touch with him. He maintained the Allure like I have maintained my Journey....he left me a box full of service records. He told me he did the wet PTO mod as soon as he was made aware of the issue. The coach has 32K miles and is very nice. The front tires had some rivering and wear on the edges so I will have an alignment done when we get home. Tires were G670 GY which are known to river on the front. Dealer is putting a new set of Michelins all around.
  • Congratulations!!! It sounds like you have a nice set up. Enjoy your travels every chance that you can
  • Hey Gary,I thought after painting the Journey you would keep it forever. I can assure you that you will love that tag axle more each time you drive it. Congrats and enjoy.
