Story:
While traveling west on I 70 this past September, a loud banging noise started to come from the front of the coach. At first, I attributed it to the small hydraulic jack I keep in the basement compartment under the driver's feet but as I inspect the undercarriage I see that some of the rubber bushings on the sway bar are missing. There should be 8 bushings total. It seems like a simple enough thing to fix until I try to find the parts. My first attempt was to order a set of links from...

The Story:
It's the end of our stay at one of many campgrounds and we have a long drive ahead. An early start will insure a daylight arrival time at the next stop. All things are stowed away, the engine is running, and I punch the jack retract button. Nothing happens! Panic starts to set in as I contemplate the ramifications of our situation. I desperately try pushing buttons and turning the ignition on and off when suddenly the coach starts to drop toward the ground. A profound sense of...

My coach has 22.5-inch truck tires and doolies on the back. I also have tire pressure sensors on each one of the 6 tires. In five years, none of the tires have needed repair but the inside rear on the driver's side started to leak air ever so slowly. This began about 10 months ago, and it consistently lost about 5 PSI a week. Suspecting the sensor to be the cause, I tried swapping then, removing them and caping the valve stem. Nothing changed. This became and real annoyance and drove me to getting...

Why the upgrade:

In an earlier blog I mentioned I had pierced the rear-view video cable with one or more pin nails I used to hold up some strips on the ceiling of my coach. (See blog "Sagging Headliner") Sadly, the camera and monitor are still working fine but the nail happened to sever the shielded video transmission line. It would be completely impractical to route a new cable through the ceiling and the idea of routing one under the coach was unappealing. So, after a...

I have been told by fellow campers that coaches and other RVs of a vintage such as my 2005 Journey have a headliner that predictively fails to stay attached to the ceiling after ten or so years. Well, mine is no exception to that. I woke up one morning to find the vinal pulled away from the edge and is sagging down almost to the bed. It already had some bubbles in the Livingroom and other places, so I knew it was only a matter of time before something need to be done.

Until I can find...
