I just checked my power steering fluid because my last trip had me fighting the wheel. My fluid is low, it has never been low in the 12 years I have owned the coach. I looked in my Newell manual to see what type of fluid to use and it does not say, but does say the filter should be changed every 12 months. I take the top off the reservoir and low & behold there is no filter. It is a Ross power steering system but I cannot find any info on the reservoir or the filter it is supposed to have. Any ideas out there?

After approx 20 k miles and two oils changes , I thought it would be time to change the air filter. That thing is giant !  Well , i ordered a new one, 200 plus dollars. I think I might have been premature, as the filter "looked" great. 


What do you gurus uses a a benchmark to change the air filter?

BTW , I just got a Blackstone lab report back telling me I am way premature changing my oil at 10K, but I don't think I will lengthen the oil change interval,

Hi All,
Just wanted to introduce myself. I have a deposit on a 2006, #763. Will be picking her up 1st week of November. I'm so excited, truly my dream coach. I no longer will have a central vac (2005 Thor Mandalay), but I now have a dishwasher and a garbage disposal, I think I'll survive. I've posted some pics in the gallery. Looking forward to full timing soon.
Regards,
Ross Daniels
Grass Valley, CA

Aside from the risk of falling off, of course.  Will it hurt them?

I want to stand on them to work on replacing some marker lights.

Gurus,

Have you ever been driving along and see a sheet of cardboard in the road in front of you?  Me too!  Except this cardboard turned out to be a bent aluminum ladder.  I had already moved away from the demon, but a car went too close and it started spinning right into my lane.  Yup...it got me.  It was not a hard hit...just barely a barely perceptible clang.

I had visions of an immediate blowout.   Since the tire pressure did not go down immediately, I set my cruise to 55 mph and eased on down the road.  When I got to the next rest stop, I stopped and surveyed the damage.  See pictures.

Consultation with a couple of gurus led me to the conclusion that it was time to buy a new tire / tires.   But where?  I'm cruising up I-55 in the middle of Mississippi and no Loves, Pilot, etc is gonna have a 365R70 22.5 tire.

Long story (short version) is this:

1)  http://www.sniderfleet.com is a southeast truck tire dealer with 80 locations.  Although the Memphis location did not have any 365s, the Nashville location had 67 in stock!!!!!  They support the Michelin advantage program which can save you $$$$.   My experience was that they were totally professional.  They balanced the tires and installed with a torque wrench--- a REALLY BIG TORQUE WRENCH.

2)  Michelin has a quirky dealer locator tool at https://www.michelintruck.com/tools/dealer-locator/#/  This is the way that I found the snider location in Nashville.

3)  Looking at the date code of the tire showed me that the old tires were 4 years old, so I elected to get two new tires.  See the picture with the weird numbers.  The date code is molded into the sidewall of the tire and is a 4 digit number in the format WWYY where WW is the number of the week and YY is the year.

4)  It may be just new rubber, but I swear the coach drives better with balanced front tires.  

I have always bought my tires at the factory...but will not do that going forward.  The prices that snider gave me were on par with Newell's price and they were far more "tire oriented" than Newell.  (Newell does not spin balance their tires, nor do they put tires on with a torque wrench).

The bottom line is I got my front tires replaced, I did not suffer a blow out and I found a good new vendor.    

(I'm still looking for a good mechanic in the Southeast US).

Cheers,
bill

Here are my symptoms, 

Water ran low and out while driving and Headhunter stayed on for 3 hours, best I can tell.
Now with the tank full, the pump will turn on but only develop 10 psi, then drop to nothing after a 1/2 gallon comes out or so.
The smaller 12V pump was never tested or used, and as it turns out, will not develop any pressure. It may have never worked. the smaller Sure Flow problem can't be related to the HeadHunter/no water problem (i don't think).

When the city water is attached and turned on, I get great flows everywhere. I thought maybe that my Headhunter needs to be primed with city water pressure, so I turned on the HeadHunter only to see pressure spike beyond the gauges limit, about 100 psi. I open the outside faucet immediately and pressure drops down to the regulated amount (60 ish psi).

Now the pump will shut its self off with a Fault alarm if left on for more than a few minutes.

Has anyone had this same experience ?

$1,200 for a new pump sounds like a expensive lesson and a sensor needs to be installed to shut the pump off before a pump seal is toasted. Is there a place to install such a sensor ?

I'm not sure if my conclusions are supported by my symptoms

Your thoughts...

Not sure it can be towed 4 down but who cares?

Several weeks ago, I stumbled upon several BB/Wanderlodges on their way to Cape Cod...great, great folks, btw. They were parked together at a CT rest area, and I think they spent the night. Seeing them parked so closely together got me to thinking:

I'm not sure there would have been room for them to extend in this parking scenario (although two were non-slide classics, I believe). So, what is common when spending the night at a crowded rest stop or truck stop? Do you extend or live skinny? Maybe this seems like (or is!) a stupid question, but it's one that I can't get out of my head.
