Installed a new air filter and has ran fine ever since.

Yes the tank for the leveling jacks is on the right side just behind the 2nd rear door (where the batteries are located) and also the electrical part of the leveling system is in the 2nd from rear compartment on the right and the access to fill the leveling reservoir is through the rear most...

Can someone tell me where the hydraulic reservoir is located for the leveling jacks on the 2001 American Eagle.  There is a hydraulic tank at the very rear of the coach when you open the engine access door but that tank says use only AW32 hydraulic oil.  I had to rebuild one of the real leveling...

A heat gun works good as does the eraser the other poster spoke of.  After removal 3m makes a vinyl adhesive remover to get the glue that is under your graphics that works great.  It is a lot bigger job taking the old ones off than it is putting the new ones on, because the modern vinyls or much...

We just spent a couple weeks in a park in Maggie Valley, NC and the online reservation form asked for the age of our motor home, and then once we checked in and got a copy of their rules, they said they had a right to inspect any rv over 10 years old.  Mine is 15 years old but they didn't say...

The day after I had started it using starting fluid, I went back out and once again it would not start.  I was busy then and have been since, so I have not messed with it any further.  The vent hose is the original stock length. The vent hose was the first thing I checked when all this started...

Thanks for all the suggestions.  Our trip went great.  First night was spent on the road in a rest area near Fredricksburg, VA as we got a late start that day and were trying to cover enough ground to make a meet up with another couple the following day who were coning from another state and...

The Onan propane generator on my Class C Toyhauler had not been exercised for a couple of months, so Sunday evening after doing some other general checks, I tried starting it.  It would run for just a split second and quit or it wouldn't hit at all.  I did my research on all the symtoms and the...

Planning a trip to Maine the first 2 weeks of August. There will be a 38' fifth wheel camper, a 39' fifth wheel toy hauler, and a 40' motorhome towing a 24' motorcycle trailer with 3 couples all early 60's.  Looking for a central location where we can access a little of everything and see some...

I have owned Winnebago, Thor, Coachmen Twice, and currently have a Gulfstream Class C Toyhauler and an American Eagle.  All provided a great deal of enjoyment along with a little heartache.  Any of them can and will have problems.  The materials used in most low to middle of the road models...

I have been around a long time, owned a trucking company for 30 years, driven trucks in my earlier days, and have owned everything from a pop up camper to diesel pushers, including a stint with a 41' 5th wheel camper.  If I were you, the last thing I would buy for towing two or three times a...

What we found wasn't quite as bad, but still significant.  Dismantling it to get to the damage is not nearly as bad as it looks in his pictures, and if you have a long time problem in that area, it probably looks a lot like his pictures.  Luckily, we caught ours early, but we still had to expose...

Yes you were right.  After we got into it, the problem area was along one of the seams in the frontal area.  Luckily we caught it early and are going to be able to effect a repair with quite a bit less difficulty than you experienced, yet it turned out to be a bigger deal than I was suspecting. ...

Just a final update on this topic:  Took the coach on a weekend trip and all systems performed flawlessly. 

I live in Conway and work and travel all over both Carolinas.  Coming from the north, there are no problems accessing the Myrtle Beach and North Myrtle Beach areas at the present time.  All high water and road closures are now isolated to areas west and south of Myrtle Beach in low areas along...
