RV particulars:
Driveline (Engine, Transmission): Cat 300, Allison 6 spd
Miles: 36000
Year: 2006
Break Down Description: Prior to leaving the campground I was finishing up the final walk around and the engine was running as I was locking the basement doors I thought that something sounded just a little louder than normal from the engine, like a small rattle. (Still kicking myself for not looking) but we were behind and needed to get moving so off we went.
Symptoms: Shortly after fueling up about 5 miles from the campground I got an over heat alarm and light. Looked down and sure enough it was climbing fast. Got pulled over in a large parking lot. Found the Serpentine belt shredded.
Effect: Broke down in Moblie AL in a parking lot for 3 days waiting on parts.
Cause: Hub Bearing went out.
Outcome: Called Good Sam RSA and they sent someone out who scammed us out of $1700. Replaced Bearing and Serpentine Belt and we got back on the road.
