I posted back in 2013 that my coach tended to wander.  New 365s were installed 2 1/2 years ago and I did not like the way my coach handled.  My owner's manual states that toe-in should be 1/16" and I had Newell change it to 3/16" which resulted in the coach hugging the road and much more fun to drive.  Of course I am interested in tire wear due to the increased toe-in.  I checked today and after 30,000 miles, each front tire shows wear in the center of 1/8" and 3/16" to 1/4" at the edges.  The edges show a little more wear because I only carry 110 lbs. of air instead of 120.  Frankly, I am satisfied that the increased toe-in did not result in excessive tire wear, yet the coach drives much better.

The duo therm under the sofa quit producing heat ,everything else seems to be working, the several seconds delay at start up and it runs the fan a minute or so after turning down the thermostat (as if it was a cool down mode)
I took the furnace to an old time RV shop and they refused to work on it saying they are problamatic ! They did say that a new circuit board might fix it ?
I shook out a bunch of well baked mud wasp nests ,which probably affected the performance ! Any Ideas ?

Georgia and I wish each of you a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Included in the things I am thankful for are all our friends we have met through the RV'ing community and our special Newell friends.

Had a blowout yesterday on the driver's inside. Luckily I saw this coming so was slowed down to find a safer place to deal with it.
   
No other issues but a long time waiting at roadside.
       
Good thing the new air bags didn't get damaged!
   

Question would be if anyone has been using Hankook? I need to buy a tire or tires here in Parker, AZ looks like he is quoting Toyo M177 or Hankook AL07.

Advice appreciated....he is telling me that Bridgestones are N/A maybe to him?

After a long trip we opened the door and the step did not extend all the way.  It just kind of hangs there - the bar/arm that attaches the step is dangling underneath but the motor is working fine.  There is a pin in the arm that looks like it may have broken or pulled loose.  I read where this is a Ford motor but not sure the motor is the problem since the arm is separate (not sold with the motor)... any ideas how to reattach it and where to reattach it?

On my 93 coach, does anyone know where the big power cable that feeds the front chassis circuit panel located ahead of the passenger's feet originates, I'm assuming it's somewhere in the rear of the coach and having looked there am confused. I'm getting a voltage drop of about 0.5 volts on that cable's connection with the panel when I turn on the parking lights, more when the headlights come on.
