Breakdown Information

I suffered a complete electrical failure while travelling home from the dealer in the interstate but before I could react to it everything returned to normal. All my dash warning light lit up and gages went to off but as stated returned to normal before I could count to 10. The dealer stated it would be like looking for the needle in the hay and then may not find anything. They suggested it could have been dampness as the coach (gas- 2005 Sunvoyager) sat for two months before we purchased it in real cold weather. This has not happened since. They did need to change both front tires at their expense becuase we experienced high vibration in the steering wheel between 55 to 65 mph after the 235 R80 225 Michalins were installed the vibration went away. Mainden voyage for us with 22,650 miles on the coach is approaching on the 25th of February. So if you see a Sunvoyager heading South on I75 towards Florida that is probably us with everything crossed that all goes well. I have a class B license.

Engine/chassis information would be useful. My Southwind on WorkHorse W22 chassis with Chevy Vortec 81.L has a similar happening, randomly. Generally at speed entire dashboard array resets to key off mode and then before I have time to react the system reboots through the startup sequence (bells, seatbelt warning light etc.) and we continue on down the road. The engine, power steering, brakes appear to be unaffected. Time between happenings is 1,000 to 5,000 miles give or take. We don't even react anymore. Had dash module replaced 4 years back under recall, but it did not resolve this issue. We have chosen to live with it rather than spend hundreds trying to it chase down. It does serve to provide a wakeup call on a long mileage day, sometimes. Last recurrence was within past 1,000 miles. We have 78K miles from new on second set of tires (age and wear combined).
