Thanks Don, Yes, checking at the recovery bottle. I haven't removed and tested the sensor myself, but after having the sensor replaced twice, and having the problem persist, it seems unlikely to be a issue with the sensor itself.

Thanks Gary - I've actually been having issues with a low coolant sensor since I go this RV a couple years ago. The check engine light/low coolant warning light comes on after a couple hours of driving even though coolant level is full. A couple times it has de-rated the engine. We've had the...

Good question. When I left the shop, they handed me the a jug that was almost full and said "here is the leftover antifreeze. We didn't use all of this jug so that you can have it." At the time I didn't know the difference and didn't look closely at it. Now that I know a little more and...

Thank you so much, everyone. That is a relief. I agree that the shop that made the mistake should redo it. Unfortunately, we're a thousand miles from there and not likely to be back in that area anytime soon. My main concern was that no damage was done. It's a good lesson for me to be more...

I just discovered that when I last had my cummins diesel pusher class A serviced, they put antifreeze intended for the plumbing system into the engine/radiator system. I've driven a couple thousand miles with it in there. I intend to get it flushed and replaced ASAP. My question is - how big...

Yes, I do have that. I was reviewing the other day after this came up. I need to get the maintenance schedule on my calendar and get diligent about sticking to it. So easy to let stuff slide. Thanks again, Dale

Thanks again, Gary. I'm one of those folks who was never told these were important - or if I was, I've long since forgotten! I've never replaced the compressor air dryer or drained the air tanks. We've been on the road for almost a year now, so that's probably way overdue. I'm going to...

Thanks Gary - Actually I do have the Freightliner chassis, not the Workhorse. So I expect I have airlines that run to the gauges. Seems strange that the alarm sensor would be on a separate system, but maybe? Gauges look fine, but alarm/red light indicates a problem.

During our last couple of trips with our 2008 Itasca Latitude Class A diesel pusher, the low air pressure warning light and alarm went off very briefly - about 1 second and then shut off. This happened 2 or 3 times. It seemed to go off when we went over a bump. The approach to our last stop...

Yes - we're all set! We've got 6 weeks split between Escondido and Pio Pico.

My wife and I will be making our way from San Francisco to San Diego from 11/5/22 - 11/12/22. We would love to hear recommendations from the community around routes, points of interest, places to stay, etc. We have a 39-foot class A with a car on a tow dolly, so the Pacific Coast Highway is...

We will be traveling south through Seattle this Saturday, September 10. How is I5 for a large class A pulling a car on a tow dolly? We understand there may be lots of construction and we're not crazy about luge-ing through narrow lanes and concrete barricades. Anyone travel this route lately...

Thanks Matt - yes, agreed, we may be asking a lot of a 14 year old mattress. I will say it did work very well for us for the handful of guests who stayed over several nights over the last several months. It does not appear like it's been used a ton - no obvious wear or fading. I did the dish...

Thanks John, This is a true stand alone air mattress that is completely separate from the sofa. It folds up/rolls up and stores inside the sofa. The pump is a completely separate unit that plug in to inflate the mattress. It's just unique in that one end of the air mattress lays over the...

We have a 2008 Winnebago Itasca Latitude, which we purchased a year and a half ago. Instead of a true jack knife fold out bed, it has an air mattress. It's a unique design that has a thinner section that rests on and velcros to the sofa part and a thicker section that inflates out from the...
