Motorcycle Carrier
I would like to put a motorcycle carrier on the back of my 2013 Itasca Sunstar 26he to carry my 600 lbs. motorcycle. What should I be concerned about in mounting a carrier. The motorhome is 27 feet long, GVWR 16,000 Lbs. Front GAWR 6,500 Lbs. Rear 11,000 Lbs.1.6KViews0likes7CommentsLippert levellers
This winter when snowbirding in Florida, the levellers on our 2013 Itasca 26HE failed. I took the unit to Camping World in Fort Myers to have the repair done. The cost there was $2,700.00 USD. so we decided to have it repaired when we returned back to Canada. I took the motor to Scarborough Starter Repairs in Ontario. In one hour the starter was rebuilt with upgraded parts and when I installed the motor it worked great. The cost of the rebuilt motor was $95.00 Can. So don't junk that motor have it rebuilt. I have found out some of those RV repair stores are really not looking after your best interest. Camping World in Fort Myers know what I mean!! HAHAHA!580Views0likes1CommentBrake Job
On my 2013 Itasca 26HE my jack levellers stop working so I took it to Camping World in Fort Myers. On my drive over to Fort Myers I heard a noise on the left front wheel so when I got to Camping World I asked if they would check out the wheel noise also. Each diagnostic cost $129.00 plus tax. The leveller motor needed replacing but they wanted to replace everything pump etc. at the cost of $2500.00 only the motor needed replacing $777.00. They wanted to replace all the brakes on the coach rotors, calipers, pads, hubs? at the cost of $5,000.00. I brought the coach back to the RV park and removed the two front wheels which they did not do and after close inspection only found a slightly dry caliper pin. My wife documented this with pictures and sent them to Camping World. After a few e-mails and phone calls Camping World reimbursed us for the tire diagnostic $129.00 plus tax. There was no diagnostic of any form done on this coach. Lastly that noise from the left front wheel was a hubcap. PRICELESS!!!!! My advice be very careful when dealing with this company, snowbirds could end up not having enough feathers to make it home!1.9KViews0likes8CommentsLippert Leveling Motor
I have a 2013 Itasca Sunstar 26he with a burnt out Lippert leveller motor. Would anyone know if there is a better replacement motor costing less than $777.00 USD. on the market. I have taken the old motor apart and the Chinese motor is lacking in quality. I would hate to buy a new motor that I know is already a inferior product.1.4KViews0likes4CommentsSticky waste tank valves
On my RV. I have noticed the waste gate valves have become very sticky especially on the grey tank. I'm guessing the soap and cleaner build-up are causing the valves to gum-up and stick. I poured appox. 10 ozs. of baby oil down the sink drain into the into the grey tank after I emptied the tank. The valve now slides at the touch rather than pulling and trying to force the valve close. The black tank will get treated next when it's time to drain it.2.3KViews0likes9Comments
