Thanks everyone for the the thoughtful responses.  They really help!

Hi all, After four class A motor homes and toads, we are considering the switch to trailer.  Our goal is to reduce the number of motors I have to maintain.  Removing the MH and toad would really help.  We are planning on towing with our 2018 Audi Q7 which has a tow capacity of 7,700.  The...

Genset is all better.  Turned out the starter went bad after only 570 hours.  3.5 hours of tech labor to remove and the genset from the coach and reinstall.  I provided an OEM starter I paid $107.00 on Amazon.  Thanks for all the comments!

Thanks for all the helpful replies!  I think I'm getting a handle on these components.  I understand the delay relay holds back charging the house batteries for awhile to let the start battery recover.  What regulates the charging of the starting and house batteries from the alternator ?  Do...

I must admit being a bonehead when it comes to my my RV electrics.  I have 1998 Fleetwood Flair with the Ford 460 Chassis.  The coach is 20 years old and things are popping up as fast as I can fix.  But if something happens to the electrical side I'm doomed if I'm in the middle of nowhere.  Can...

Hi gang, Sorry I have to post this but I could not find this issue in a search.  My 1998 Onan on a 31 Flair has a delay in cranking when I start from the driver's seat.  Usually 3 or 4 seconds go by before the unit starts to turn over after I depress the switch.  No clicking.  Just no action at...

Thanks gentlemen.  Since I posted I've done quite a bit more research and it seems like a front Trac bar will help.  The coach does not roll so much as require constant steering wheel input.  This rocking side to side from steering input is what bothers my wife.  Any successes  with a front Trac...

I hope someone can help a desperate man. The wife won't ride in our 1998 Fleetwood flair, 31 foot with the Ford 460 chassis.  It's a class A.  The problem is my wife thinks the coach sways too much and does not want to ride in it.  Granted its an older coach but it only has 22k miles.  Here is...

Here is my input to a prior thread.  If you can buy it for pocket change, do it! Somewhat on topic, I have a 1998 31 Flair with the 460.  I thought it was really sluggish until I installed the Banks Power Pack system and Transmission module.  The increase in power and torque made it a new...

Great suggestions.  Thanks!

Hi all, I am towing my toad using magnetic mounted tow lights to the trunk of the car.  The front of the wiring connects to a plug on the MH.  The question I have is how do you secure the cable that runs from the back of the MH to the trunk lid and then to the lights?  I'm worried about the...

Somewhat on topic, I have a 1998 31 Flair with the 460.  I thought it was really sluggish until I installed the Banks Power Pack system and Transmission module.  The increase in power and torque made it a new motorhome.  I can now take on a hill in OD that used to downshift to 3rd every time. ...

Ours was an easy choice  " Sir Gasalott"

I recall  in one of the posts about a charger for the chassis battery that works off the house batteries but I'll be darned if I can find it.  I have a three stage converter/charger for my house batteries and it's plugged in all the time.  Someone posted about a device that connects to the house...

I just finished an installation of the Banks Power Pack for my 98 Flair with a 460.  I'm blown away with the increase in power.  My inst tall was not just the headers but the complete exhaust system as well as the superscoop induction.  The system is California compliant.  You will not be sorry.
