I'm a few days from signing papers on a Holiday Rambler PDQ 40 ft 330 Hp. I have heard there can be major problems with the trailing arms with Monaco's and Holiday Ramblers, depending on which model. Does anyone have any information on how to tell if the one I'm about to purchase might have any issues . I have been told that it can cause a larger the wanted repair bill.

VIN # 1RF42464042027487

THANKS RICK

This was only on the 4 air bag suspension that they had the problem with the trailing arm issue,my buddy has the exact same coach your looking at and they love it with no issues,hopefully this will help you make a decision

Good Luck with your purchase

The Endeavor is not on the chassis with the trailing arms issue. The Endeavor is on The Roadmaster RR8R chassis which has 8 airbag/shocks. The trailing arm problem was on the 4 airbag chassis.

We had a 2003 38 PDQ Endeavor before we got our current MH. We enjoyed that MH and hopefully you will also. The only 'major' problem we had was the radiator. Being made of aluminum, it developed cracks and needed to be replaced. We got that done under our extended warranty, so it was not too bad a deal.
Enjoy and safe travels.

Call HR with your vin #. They will be able to tell you if there were issues. We have a 2001 Monaco Dynasty. We called Monaco to ask if there were any recalls. We were told that there was a recall for this issue. They have records that the first owner had the necessary repair done in 2002.
