Hello All,
Picked up Coach 431 today and became it's third care taker. Have dreamed of owning a coach of this caliber for 20 years. Drove her 350 miles home through heavy rain, high winds and road construction. For someone that never has never owned or driven a motorhome before I got her home safe and sound. It took 100 or so miles to get the feel of the road. The coach drove like a dream. Reading all the posts on this forum about all that could go wrong I was afraid we would not make it home. What worried me at first was the water temperature gauge would fluctuate between 195 degrees and 220 degrees. I kept expecting to see the check engine light to come on but it never did, and I quit worrying about this and just drove. Is this normal?
Will post a few pictures when I discover how that is accomplished.
