Chassis warranty
RECENTLY purchased 2023 coachman nova. No power to hitch and .Digital mirror cuts off. Rv dealer, Fretz, referred me to dodge. Put in claim with dodge and was told there is also an open recall for brakes. RV dealer claims ignorance. No dodge dealer in my area will touch it. I live in Maryland and have access to delaware, nj,pa. Dodge claim manager referred me to two dealers in WV, 5 hours away. Im hoping he made a mistake and asked for a supervisor, waiting to hear back. This has been a nightmare so far. Any suggestions?...
How to fix saggy fiberglass roof around AC unit?
Some time ago I picked up an '87 Fiesta on a Ford E-350 chassis. I knew it was going to need repairs going in, though it's entirely possible I bit off a little more than I can chew on this one.. It clearly has had some level of water leaking at some point in it's life, evident by the discoloration on the wood, and I knew I'll need to locate and fix that. My current "big" issue is obvious sagging of the roof around the AC unit, and I suspect part of the problem is poor engineering/design from the factory, which didn't give nearly enough support under the AC. I think I should be yanking down all of the support structure, and replacing the side-to-side beams with solid pieces, then adding in short pieces front to back (as opposed to the front to back beams being one piece like it is now). Tie that in to the wood going down either side of the roof, and then support of the bottom of the wood on the sides with the top of the steel van body. In my mind, this would transfer much of the load of the AC and roof to the steel body. But then I don't know if that's going to cause other issues I'm not thinking of.Coachmen Crosstour curtains
Happy trails! New owner of a used 2019 Class B Coachmen Crosstour, very happy with rig, performance, layout etc. The one issue that is driving me to drink (don’t say it) is the folding pulldown/up privacy curtains. The curtains were out of the track and wrinkled in many places from previous owner, obviously part of problem was using such soft curtains in the first place. I have spent several hours trying to refold or even just get the sides back into the track. Fold here, unfolds there. Get into place here, pulls out there. Anyone have a working solution or tip on a better way to do this? Thanks in advance!
2800 Onan lpg generator issue
We have a 2012 Road Trek Adventurous RS purchased 6 weeks ago. It has a 2800 lpg Onan generator. A few days ago the generator started on its own. I could shut it off by holding the switch to stop. Regardless of how long I held it there when I released it the generator restarted. Replaced the switch and same problem. Any ideas??Pleasure Way with high miles vs Roadtrek with low miles
Debating between 2006 Pleasure Way plateau ts with 195k vs a 2006 Roadtrek adventurous rs with 93k. I prefer floorplan and finishes of Pleasureway but husband is leery of high miles. Both diesel, approx. 22 feet long. Going to test drive each one tomorrow. Would appreciate some feedback from the group.
1997 Dodge xplorer
I just got a 1997 dodge xplorer and it has some sort of solar system. if you go to minute 3:21 of this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=3IegoaYERGs you can see the interior system. Does anyone have a similar van with this or know anything about it? I haven't been able to find anything online about it.
How to service a generator located under the rear of an RV
I have a 1997 Roadtrek 190 Versatile. The generator is the original with the RV and just start having problems with stalling after the AC unit is turned on. I have changed the air filter, run a Seafoam/gas mixture through the carburetor and engine and changed the spark plug. Because the unit is underneath the rear of RV, I don't know how to get to the fuel filter to replace it. Does anyone have any experience with this situation?2003 Pleasure Way Traverse Grey Water Tank/Valve
I've recently purchase a 2003 Pleasure Way Traverse, which has been great thus far. However, I can't locate the grey water tank and valve to drain the waste water. The very brief manual says the tank is "located above the floor under the microwave cabinet". However, there is no access to this. Then it says "open the valve for the grey waste tank". But I don't know where this valve is. I have hooked up the sewer hose to the coupling for the drainage, which is underneath the floorboard on the side. Any idea where this valve is?
