RV particulars: National Tradewinds Founders Edition LTC
Driveline (Engine, Transmission): 350 Cummins Diesel
Miles: 9 k
Year: 2002
Break Down Description/Symptoms:
Break down #1: Starter went out 2 weeks after purchase. The engine would not turn over at all but made a clicking noise. Had towed to Austin and repaired by Freightliner.
Break down #2: 2 months after purchase rv started sputtering while on the highway. Had the pedal pushed all the way to the floor but could not get past 30 mph. It acted like it was not getting any gas. We pulled over and turned off the RV and waited (while trying to decide what to do). We tried cranking it again and it turned over and worked like nothing happened.
Effect: Originally told it was the fuel filter was clogged.
Cause: Unknown if it had caused any other damage.
Outcome: Fuel sensor went out.
We found out the original owners of the RV had to have the fuel pump replaced while in their posession. Don't know if that would have any effect on the fuel sensor or not.
Anyone else who owns a Founders Edition experience any problems?
