Thanks for the replies everyone.  After talking with a chassis etc at Tiffin and a local truck center who works on Allison transmissions we found trouble code P0963.  It's senses an issue with internal transmission fluid pressures.  Typically too low and caused by a faulty pressure solenoid...

Unfortunate I think you are right.  Thanks for the suggestions.  I checked what I could connection wise before dark and was planning on getting underneath it first thing in the morning.  Thanks again! 

We had the slide out awning cause a loud bang on an extremely windy trip with our former Class A Newmar as described in another reply.  Good advice also on checking the inside rear tires as they can blow and not always be noticed from just looking quickly if the outside tires are still up. ...

I had a 2012 Dodge Ram 2500 Mega Cab which was the last year before DEF.  Never had any issues other than really poor fuel economy when it was going through a "cleaning" cycle which were short periods.  Replaced it with a 2017 Ford Super Duty F250 this year which of course requires the DEF.  I...

Hello:  just purchased our 17 Tiffin Phaeton in June.  Only trip so far was from th FL dealer back home near Chicago.  Took it out of our enclosed storage unit today for a trip to take our daughter back to college tomorrow and about 1/2 way into the 40 mile trip home as I slowed down for a stop...

First off I'm not a a generator expert or electrician but I have had some experience with an undersized Honda generator in the past and now with our new RV that has 3 AC units and needs a 50 amps power circuit to operate them both.  We are very marginal with a 30amp circuit for 2 of the AC and...

Great advice from others here and I'd just like to add one thing regarding the cruise control and towing.  Best off not using it because unfortunately most cruise controls just mash the throttle as soon as they sense 1-2 mph loss which kicks your transmission down.  You can get pretty good an...

You might have already heard more than enough but we had a 2001 Ford Excursion with the V10 and replaced it with an 04 Excursion with the 6.0 diesel.  Prior to that we had several Suburbans (2500 or 3/4 ton models all with their largest gas engine).  We preferred the Ford gas V10 over the Chevy...
