Good Morning Everyone
We have taken delivery of a 2007 Tuscany 4055 (Damon Production Number 1919) with 5000 miles on it. This coach was part of the Best RV liquidation last December and was new then. A good fried of mine here in Ontario that sells late model motor homes purchased it and wintered in California and Arizona from January to May with it.
The floor plan fits how we now use our coach with our extended family
our previous coach was an American Tradition 1996 none slide model.

I have some questions that i hope you can help with

It takes a long time for the Freightliner Chassis to air up (when air is drained from the system)as compared to my previous Spartan chassis.
Is this normal?

Also what towing height is the hitch receiver at on your Tuscany coaches
we tow a 2008 Lincoln MKX that measures 21" at the hitch points

Last question for now my wife Evelyn wanted me to ask how to get rid of the squeaking noise coming from the microwave.

thanks for your help
Ray Mc Donald

Ray,
Welcome to the forum. Yea, my 4076 does seem to take a while to air up from an empty tank. 21" sounds about right I sure wish mine was higher, (oh well). You might remove the Microwave dish in it when traveling.
Happy camping,
Ron

squeaking we use the anti slip stuff, place a piece under each turntable wheel and one big one under the tray.

airing up, mine takes about 3 minutes if the tanks are low to empty
that fills all tanks and bags

Same here. Bout 2-3 mins. I will usually throw the switch and then a final walk around so I really don't notice the time.

Congrats on the 4055. We love ours and have put over 17K miles on it so far (going to Charleston SC for the weekend).

It takes about 3 minutes for ours to air up after sitting for a while Pretty standard it seems.

As for the squeaking microwave, it needs to be adjusted or tightened up. And also look at the towel holder bar on the stove. That comes lose and will rattle until it gets tightened up again.
