Nothing major other than the fridge quit working after we had it washed. Water had got into the outside vent and the lemon switch kicked it off. I let it cool off for a few hours and then took vent off and placed a magnet on the black box. I held it there for a few minutes and the red light kicked on and we heard the fridge start. Fortunately, it was not a big deal.

Ask this question again next year after we travel 2000 miles to Palm Springs for the winter and back to Indianapolis :eek:

Silver link stopped working. Cruise control went kaput. Passenger seat controls stopped working. Can't zero the trip odometer. Inner rear tires overheating. + about 10 more things all on the maiden voyage of my New Aire.

We had the one piece windshield on our Windsor replaced this past March. I lowered our glass deductible to $250.00 about a month prior to filing the claim. That is a $3800.00 piece of glass installed.

When we had the Thor, every trip was an exercise
 

in repairing the Generac Generator, fresh water plumbing and reattaching things that fell off.

Only 1 problem on the road with the Country Coach. Idler Pulley bearing froze up just West of Junction TX. Great folks in that town made the repair painless.

During Hurricane Ida, the DC voltage regulator on the Onan Generator gave up. Strange results. I'll make a dedicated post about the problem, trouble shooting and repair.

This is turning into one of those threads to which you send your friends when they ask if they should buy an RV.


:whistling:

Mysterious leak under coach. Know it’s fresh water thank the Lord. Also ice maker tubing crimped and leaked. It’s always something.

Nothing. The Soviet Bloc build quality of most RVs is why I built my own.

They need to know that the build quality is typically on a level that would have the builders of Trabants, Ladas, and Yugos hanging their heads in shame. RVs are like Soviet-era cars: expect something to break on every trip.

Rear wheel speed sensors finally went bad on my Sprinter chassis on the outbound leg of a 6day trip. This caused numerous colorful dashboard warnings to come up and cruise control to quit working for the rest of the trip. Didn’t cause any breakdown though & taking it to Mercedes for recall pair in two days.

We had the same issue, the only one to date that has shutdown the Coach on the road. We were in SC and the check engine light and shutdown warning came on. Luckily we were 200 yds from a county school complex and pulled in. I saw the remains of a sepentine belt dangling out the rear.

A call to Protective XtraRide, our warranty company, and they sent out a tech from a diesel repair shop about 25 mi away. The tech immediately diagnosed that the "real" problem was that the dash a/c compressor had locked up and chewed up and threw the serpentine belt.

XtraRide sent a wrecker to tow us to the shop where they pulled the compressor and ordered a new one to be delivered ASAP. 2 days later the repairs were completed. XtraRide reimbursed us for two nights in a motel and all meals. We were out $100 deductible, freight, shop supplies and the CC fee the shop charges, a total of $360 out of $2,650 including the tow by a 4 axle recovery vehicle.

No muss, no fuss; XtraRide was no problem with which to deal.

The window above the sink… $500 repair….

Living room slide suddenly stopped extending on the right side. Crawled underneath and found a broken bolt. Realigned and replaced bolt and all is good. Waste ball seal in the toilet started leaking….part ordered. And last but not least, Kwikee steps stopped going out when the stairs are retracted with switch turned off and the door is opened, otherwise works fine when the switch is on. Will dig into the steps this week.

Something happens to us every trip
 

We just got back from camping. The last trip our awning motor went out (our camper is only 2 yrs old). By the time we paid someone to come look it (in the pouring rain) then had to buy the motor and have someone else come put it in we are out about $700! This time our truck battery went dead and wouldn't start. Luckily the camp host had a portable charger. And we had to go to buy a new one. So another almost $300 out. We've also put a new bathroom faucet in, new shower plumbing and had the trailer rewired. All since July 2019.

How about the hitch extender snapping at the weld and my toad on a blue ox broke away? Fortunately I just exited the Interstate in Interior SD and was only going 35 mph.
