My DW came running in the house screaming honey hurry up the toilet is running over!!

If there is a silver lining in this mishap it's that the water was running for only about 3 5 minutes and could have been much worse as she was on her way to work and decided at the last moment to grab something out of the rv.

Took about fifteen minutes to get it cleaned up and get the heaters and fans going.

Now to teach the wife not just to push and let go to holding down the handle until it engages.

I also need to replace the rubber seal around the flap. Such exciting times......

I'm experiencing delayed shifting from 3rd, 4th & 5th until warmed up. Typically, resolved after five miles.  Is this an idication for service?  Possible Service locations in South Central Texas?

i know what the ride height is for 1990 and up, but pre 90 classics ride higher.
what is the correct ride height measurement?

Sometime in the next couple of weeks, I will be listing Coach 730 on the various RV sale sites and of course will be sharing the links here. I wanted to give a little preview first to if anyone here may be interested.
My father is the original owner.
The coach is located just outside of Atlanta, GA. It’s a 2005 model with the Series 60 Detroit and Allison 6 speed. 3 slides, mid entry. Mileage is over 100,000, I will have the exact numbers and many pictures once it is listed.
I’m trying to get a feeling on pricing currently.

               

Sweet looking old gal. I love the look.

10 years ago I would have jumped on this.
I have no connection to this coach.

I am wanting to try to run our coach using a 30 amp plug I have in my barn. It is about 100’ way from where I can park. Would I be able to make an 80’ extension using 50 amp cord with an adapter to 30 amp in the barn and the other end plugged into the 50 amp cord coming out of the coach?

From reading on the forum sounds like I will be able to run one of the AC zones on low with this setup.

Any experience with this?

HI,

My hi/low beam switch needs to be replaced on my 411 -- 1996.  How do I separate the grey piece from the black piece.  I don't think it is a puller issue.  I think I just need to pry them apart with a thin blade?  Looks as though someone already may have done this if you can see the yellowish scratches.

Thanks in advance

Hello Everyone,

We are recently the proud owners of coach 1242. We also own 606 but after purchasing we decided a steerable tag and as was enough of reason to spend the extra $. We purchased in Dallas area and live North of Kansas City so we had to stay the night at Newell Headquarters. Wish we could have had a factory tour but maybe next time. We are thrilled we are decision to purchase Coach 1242 and look forward to the many adventures across the country. We have 3 young children so we thought this would be great investment in spending time as family and having fun as well.
