Re: Country Coach
I remember when i joined the forum back in '02 right after we bought our 36' CC Allure. My first post and many thereafter were answered quickly and accurately by Mr CC himself, "Sully". Sorry to see you hang it up but proud that you recognized the fact that you should. I wish you the best sir and please stay on the forum and help those of us that don't have the experience of your years.463Views0likes0Comments1999 Country Coach Allure slide out hydraulic rams
I am trying to find the rams that push out the slide but cannot find them. I pulled the ceiling from the basement area but no luck, it just opened up to the cable tray from the front to the back. Does anybody know how to get to these? Thanks,1.5KViews0likes3CommentsRe: Anyone make a mistake buying first MH ?
I had no idea how old this post was. I was reading though and ran across a post from myself when we were taking delivery of our first MH. Well in follow up to the question, no way. We both love this rig and feel like others that did their homework via this forum and kicking a lot of tires that we made the right choice. I initally had a hard time talking the wife into buying prior to retirement but now since we have had it for a year and a half, she would sell me before she would sell the m/h. My only regret is I didn't act sooner when the kids were young. Oh well there are the grand kids! BTW we never made it to Mexico. Got as far as the Shady Dell RV Park in Bisbe, AZ and just stayed there. Great place to hang out. Its old 50's style with restored airstreams that you can rent for the weekend and Dots Diner for a real pattymelt and 50's expereince.585Views0likes0CommentsRe: Breakdown Information
It happened to me only once. We had just bought our rig and was heading down to Tombstone for the weekend with a few friends. Just outside Casa Grande, AZ the engine burped and the yellow warning light came on. The engine kept running but was a little low on power. As we kept on driving I called Country Coach and they got the experts together and came to the conclusion the we experienced a sensor failure in the fuel management system. "Get to Cummins as soon as you can" they told me and they will install the update on the engine. Made it to the Cummins dealer in Tucson and they didn't have the parts so we turned around and nursed it back to Phoenix. Cummins in Phoenix fixed the problem, all under warranty and so far that is the only scare we have had. I try to do all my own maintenance and keep a close eye on potential problems, however with a complicated rig such as these motorhomes are it is a moumental task. Note to Lil Trucker: From the description of you post it sounds like a loose wire on the hot side to the ignition switch. The bump caused it to break connection and after some fiddeling with things contact was made again. Try checking all screws and especially the plugs that connect the harnesses together. Good luck.418Views0likes0CommentsRe: Anyone make a mistake buying first MH ?
Not sure if I have made a mistake or not as we will take possession on Friday of our first M/H, a '99 CC Allure 36' single slide. I have looked for over 3 1/2 years and moved up and down from a 32' to a 40' and finally bought the 36'. This one has a good floor plan that should work well for my wife and I. Picked up a ton of information from this forum that without it I could not have made the informed decision I did. We will part time now and full time in about 3 years (retirement). I will give you a follow-up after the shakedown cruise to Mexico for "Cinco da Mayo". Bill & CJ471Views0likes0Comments
