Just an observation re: Ford chassis...
Over the years, I've seen many, many posts regarding any number of problems with, for example: fogged windows, leveling jacks, slides, steps, Norcolds, tires, etc. I could go on but you get the idea. ...

Our second V10. 2003 & 2013 Chassis. Ours have not spit at anyone either. No real issues, either. We got what we expected, mostly. We realize it is not a DP. The engine has performed flawlessly and the control units handle tranny and engine well. We have the tow/haul is actually a blessing and works as designed when we took the time to retrain us. We were used to mashing the brake to slow the rig. Now we use softer touch to guide the tow/haul and only mash occasionally. We did add the 5 Star Tune to further refine the shift points. Handling: Again, this is not a DP. We also have the 24K chassiswith 22.5 wheels. Previous was 19.5 wheels. There is not the weight and wheel base of a DP. Our current handles much better than the 03. Not mentioned is the noise. The 03 was much louder. Our current Tiffin Allegro 36LA has better heat and noise insulation. Again, not ass quiet as a DP but can hold a normal conversation unless going up a steep hill forcing higher RPM. Current V10 is 3 valve. Gets up hills very well. Would we like an Tiffin Zephyr or an Enntegra Conorstone? Yes, but for the price difference, we are very happy with our coach.
