I just bought a 2022 Winnwbago Minnie TT with the murphy queen bed. Winnebago split the mattress so it would fold up easier. I won't take possession until Sept. 6 and I am thinking of getting a RV queen memory foam mattress to replace the quirky looking two piece thing that's in there...

When we owned a Journey 36GD we had same issue.  We had the pads replaced at the Winnebago factory in Forest City, IA.  They worked on the coach for two days (I did have a couple of other items on my list).  I think they charged $1,200. I later learned that HWH could do the same job in much...

Your brand choices will be limited and, in some cases, very expensive coaches. Newmar offers factory delivery.  All of your really high end luxury custom coach manufacturers like Foretravel, Marathon, Liberty, Newell do factory delivery.  There are likely others but I believe the list is rather...

Myrtle Beach has several RV parks that are on the ocean.  Myrtle Beach is a busy and crowded place during the warm season and all the parks are busy and full from Memorial Day to Labor Day.  Ocean Lakes, Lakewood, Pirate Land, Myrtle Beach Travel Park and Apache are all located on the ocean. ...

I used the cousin to Rust Mort, Rust Seal on my former coach...a 2002 Winnebago Journey.  The difference between Rust Seal and Rust Mort is Rust Seal does not have to be top coated.  A friend who runs an auto body shop and does a lot of classic car restorations recommended Rust Seal.  I did use...

As noted you have many choices.  Sometimes it depends on what dealers in your area have or can get for you.  I recently replaced my tires and considered Hankook AH-12's, Continentals, and Michelin.  I ended up getting Michelin XZA2's using the FMCA Advantage program.  I wanted to try...

My coach was one of those that got 'suspect' radiators (it has an aluminum core) that both CC and Monaco used prior to mid 2007.  Fortunately, mine is 10 years old and not leaking....yet.  When I was in Junction City Oregon this past September, the consistent estimate I got to R&R the radiator...

If you can get the radiator/CAC off, you can always take it to a good radiator shop for checking/repair.  However, not sure what you mean by 'acting up.'  If it is overheating you may just need to wash the cooling pac well, especially if it is a rear radiator coach.  If it is leaking, I would be...

I owned a 2002 Journey for 8 years.  Had same issue....low air alarms, gauge goes to 0.  However, no other evidence of low air....brakes still work, etc. It may surely be the VDU.  The air gauges get all their info from the VDU/VDC and they were known to have cold solder joints that would cause...

Very easy to ride your bikes around Junction City.  The streets are mostly quiet with little traffic with the exception of 99 which is the main street through town.  If you leave JC and ride down River Road, there is a park and two large fresh veg/produce markets.  River Road will take you back...

Folks, I have been to the Winnebago/Country Coach factory service center twice.  They are great folks and do extensive service and repairs on both Winnebago and Country Coach motorhomes.  Country Coach motorhomes used the HWH slide and jack mechanisms so they are very familiar with those...

Congrats on the new coach.  The GCWR is the total of what the coach is designed to haul and tow....so, yes, the weight of the car you tow should be included in your considerations.  Most gas class A motorhomes have a max towing capacity of around 5,000 lbs but it seems yours is rated for a...

Sorry, but I must be missing something here.  I don't see any Country Coach logo on that rig.  It looks like the newer Monaco to me....can't really read it but it looks it says Dynasty on the side by the entry door.  Winnebago has said it might build Country Coaches again (maybe in 2018) but...

I think you need to answer a few questions for yourself about how you use your awning and what are your expectations. 1.  Do you like to be able to provide maximum shade by lowering the awning if necessary? 2.  Do you like to be able to lower your awning enough so it drains water well and allow...

Once you get the repair done, look into getting the entire roof coated with BusKote.
