Fleetwood Jamboree matress
Hi All, I have a 2007 26ft Jamboree with the bed in the back. The Queen size mattress is completely worn out and in need of replacement. I've heard that this particular shaped mattress, with the angled cut on the lower right side, is custom and that they cannot be bought that way. Does anyone have experience with purchasing one of these or know what I need to do to get it replaced. I would think that these would be stock items, but I'm being told otherwise. Thanks!1.2KViews0likes8CommentsSuggestions for battery isolation
Hi all, I've owned a 2007 Class C Fleetwood Jamboree for about 3 years now and am having issues with keeping the batteries charged properly and not draining. There is no current set up to disconnect the house batteries should from the chassis battery. which is surprising to me, because i would think that this would be a standard set up in all RV's. There is a battery isolator controller, but I'm not sure what that does. I'm kind of confused about how everything should work together and what this controller does. I'm assuming that i should install a switch of some kind to disconnect the chassis battery from the house batteries, but do the house batteries need to be disconnected from each other also? Any explanation or help in this issue would be greatly appreciated! Thanks,2.4KViews0likes9CommentsRe: Violent front end shaking

I believe they will find issues as I said before with the control arm bushings and/or the ball joints. They should check out all steering linkage as well. If you are in So Cal I know of a good shop that does just that. I'm in the Ventura County area, if they are close to that, i would greatly appreciate a referral.681Views0likes0CommentsRe: Violent front end shaking

If you take it to a tire shop and nothing is found. Try to observe the tire geometry the next time you raise it and you will see what I mean. Also next time when you drive off after having the rig up try steering back and forth while driving at low speed to center the tread back on the road way. Hope this makes sense to you and helps the situation. Are you saying that it would pigeon toe even if the tires don't lose contact with the ground? I never take the stabilizers high enough to lift the tires completely off the ground. The shocks are the heavy duty Bilsteins and they are only about a year old and a half old.679Views0likes0CommentsRe: Violent front end shaking

You said it only occurs when braking, that leads me to believe you have warped rotor or a bad caliper. Take it to a mechanic, not an RV place, and have them check it out for you. This issue only occurs after the front end has been jacked up on the stabilizers and then only when braking. then after a few miles on flat road, it goes away. wouldn't a rotor or caliper problem show itself more often?341Views0likes0CommentsViolent front end shaking
Hello all, I'm new to the forum and have been enjoying RV'ing for the last 2 years. My RV is a 2007, Class C, 26" Fleetwood Jamboree with the Vortex engine and Chevy Express chassis. The issue that I am experiencing is that, while driving (on the trip back home, after I have used the front stabilizers during camping(I only take the front end high enough to level and stabilize the RV. Tires never come completely off the ground), when the brakes are applied at normal speeds (30-40 MPH), the front end will start to shake excessively. the shaking can be very violent, especially when going down hill. After driving a couple of miles on flat road, the issue goes away until the next time the RV is jacked up on the stabilizers. I have taken the RV to the local RV shop, they have been able to duplicate the issue, but cannot find the root cause. they say the suspension is tight, nothing is wrong with the rotors and brake pads, and I just had Bilstein heavy duty shocks put on last year also. Does anyone have any recommendations or have experience with this issue? I'd really like to get it fixed before my next trip. It seems very unsafe. Thanks!!!12KViews0likes31Comments
