If a LaMesa salesman said it, it was most likely not true.  I'm embarrassed to admit how much they misled us when we bought from them. 

And a big AMEN to that!!

I ordered an awning replacement from Camping World, and had taken measurements myself. The service writer wanted to take his own measurements, which did not match mine. So I asked the manager to take a look and he came up with a third set of figures. So we agreed that the technician who would...

I have the 1999 V-10 on a 35' class A and the screaming at high rpm seemed wrong. Anyway, I installed the full Banks kit, from air filter to headers to exhaust, with the special chip and the transmission upgrade. I certainly feel the increase in power, especially on hills.  The engine revs high...

We have a 1999 Gulf Stream Sun Voyager, the biggest draw being that my wife fell in love with the floor plan.  We were told about that "great Amish craftsmanship" which sounds better than it is. When ours was the same age as the one MH you are considering, everything was fine. Now that it is a...

Some years ago we were staying at an RV park near San Diego.  On our right side was a very shine Prevost.  On the other was a very old, beat up class C, held together with bailing wire and duct tape. We were in the middle with our nearly new 35' class A gasser, sort of in between the two...

I have the "older" 1999 V-10 and when I first got it was afraid by the screaming when going up hill.  Then I learned that this engine is happy at higher rpm than my previous V-8 but the noise is still intimidating.  Two years ago I had a full Banks kit installed, which improves the breathing...

The OP made no mention of doing anything beyond pressing the start button.  Mine (1999 Onan 6500 gas) has, if you open the panel to the generator, an altitude adjustment and a summer/winter adjustment.  If these are not set correctly for the environment and then sitting in cold weather for a...

When I replaced my Goodyears a couple years ago I went up on level in load range because the originals were maxed out at the factory weight.  But one other problem I found was that there was a shortage at that time and some dealers only had 2 or 3 tires in stock and would have to order the rest...

You don't want to go over the maximum pressure on the sidewall when inflating COLD, whatever the ambient temp is. As long as you are not doing that, there's nothing wrong with the higher pressure.  The ride may be firmer, but you have a margin on carrying capacity.  My original tires were load...

My 35' Class A on a Ford chassis seems to have a sweet spot right at about 62 MPH, which is really a handy speed when towing because that's exactly the speed of the big rigs on the California Interstates (maximum speed at which they can be counted on not to get a speeding ticket).  So I just...
