RV particulars: 2003 Fleetwood Expedition 38N
Driveline (Engine, Transmission): Freightliner, Cummins ISB 300hp, Allison 3000
Miles: 24500
Year: 2003
Break Down Description: Starter failed on my first trip at 24500 miles. This also happened to the original owner on his first trip. My coach has the 3rd starter in it and has less than 30k miles.
Symptoms:
Effect:
Cause: Freightliner says failure both times was from trying to start the motor while the engine was running. Freighliner mechanic says this is common on the ISB's and that the starter is too light duty. Giant RV Murreita delivered a coach with a starter on its last leg twice... Freightliner tried to say it was driver error but so far has paid for it under warranty.
Outcome:
