tripping with ERA 70A
Last March we purchased a new ERA 70A from a dealer in Nokomis FL which was some 400 or 500 miles from home. Returning home we found a small leak in the wet-bath, not bad but enough to get one's feet wet. Dealer 80 miles away kept unit for a couple of days and could find no problem. While the unit was there I had rear inter wheel valve stem extentions installed. Nice but pricey. Dealer also fixed problem with poor chassis radio reception. Antenna wire had been cut when installed.
First long trip to Chicago in July still had slight leak in wet-bath. Seems it leaks only when flush valve is operated and lines are pressurized.
Return trip while on secondary roads in central Illinois had this really odd thing going on for a couple of hours with GPS. Have the Rand McNally in dash unit. The GPS is lagging actual position by about 30 seconds. I would be setting at a red light stopped and it is showing us still moving and not at the intersection yet. I pull away from the intersection and GPS still hasn't shown any movement for another 20 - 30 seconds.
Camping World in Robertsdale fixed leak and checked GPS, called Winnebago about GPS and did update.
Enough for now.
