Thats great....we haven't been so luck on ours.

The furnace works fine, but now we have the sound of one of the blower wheels rubbing against some metal. Opened the outside and inside access and there are no visibly lose part/screws. I'm afraid it is the bearing on the motor.

So here's my question to the experts. We have a Hyroflame 8900 model and it looks pretty easy to replace the blower motor. Are there any precautions to take to ensure we don't cause CO being blown into the coach?

That is my primary concern and reason I might take this to a tech.

It should be a fairly straight forward replacement, and you should have a functional gas and CO detector inside the coach (helps prevent waking up dead).
