KandT, no I will be retiring from the rv business. I saw no sense in only going out for 7 days at a time once a year and having the motorhome collecting dust. This was my second class C and I think the bug is now out of my system. I sold my rv in one day and got my asking price, so I went ahead...

Renet T, if the money is coming out of his bank account, what is the difference if it comes out in cash to me, or a wire transfer? It seems to me that if his bank has the cash on hand, it would be easier to just turn the money over to me on the spot.

I've just sold my Class C motorhome. The buyer and I will be meeting at his bank on Monday. I asked to have a money wire transfer to my bank, which will be conducted in front of me. I would like to know if the transfer will show up immediately in my bank account? Or should just ask the buyer to...

As long as you get some clicking or humming sound, your fuel pump is "most" likely working. But since you said that you had the screw almost removed and no fuel came out of the bowl, then it seems that no gas is getting out to that point. One reason could be, as someone else said, that your fuel...

While it is always good to have a battery disconnect switch on both engine and house batteries, I would also do as the gentleman who suggested the Trik L Start. There is also another device called the BIRD. Both of these devices allow your house batteries to charge from the generator, shore...

I will be taking my motorhome to the shop this Wednesday, but now, after doing some research, I think the problem might actually be the leaf springs. I saw several videos on You Tube of leaf springs making the exact same noise. The noise happens when the leaf springs shift to the side, mostly...

"Good Chinese" tire? Good and Chinese do not go together.

Thanks. I think I will be taking it to a nearby auto shop that has a heavy duty lift which was previously used to lift my motorhome. They also work on motorhomes, so I will be asking him to take another close look at those items mentioned by you guys. With one foot in the grave and another on a...

Not the wheel covers. No gravel. The motorhome is totally empty. This sound is just in front of the rear axles, and is not the type of clunking sound like some transmissions make when you come to a stop, and it is not a vibration, but the sound of two metal parts clunking together. The noise...

I have a 2008 Class C Tioga 31M. In the last few months, a noise has developed somewhere near the rear end. I have suspected it may be the driveshaft or u joints. I got underneath the motorhome and they seemed fine, and there was no movement in the driveshaft, either clockwise, or counter clock...

After leaving a campground in Pahrump, Nevada, this past weekend, where temperatures had been down to 32 degrees, while driving slowly, I could hear what sounded like a load of loose dishes in the rear of my 32 foot Fleetwood Tioga Class C with a rear bedroom slide.  The sound appeared to be...

I just remembered the name: it is the flywheel. On my generator, an Onan KWK 4000, I could reach in and try to turn the flywheel by hand, and when it would not turn, I knew it was stuck.  Try that, if you generator will allow you, before removing the generator.

Since you said your house batteries had to be replaced...I will tell you I had the same experience with the generator not starting because of low batteries. In my case, the Bendix on the starter motor shaft locked up against the fan (I can't think of the name of the part that rotates) and was...

I have a 2008 Tioga. Last week, my generator was also not transferring power.  It would also start easily, but no power. The breaker had tripped.  As you face the generator, it is located to the right of the carburetor, and slightly below, and toward the side of the generator.  You have to flip...

Not only is the top piece too short, but if the picture captures it well, the upper pipe appears to be a smaller circumference than the bottom one. Even if it was longer, it would do no good since it would not make a good seal. American craftsmanship at its best!
