I'm going to beg forgiveness since I was all of 7 years old when that coach was built :) Those pictures are very cool!

Somewhere in my mind, as a kid, I seem to recall that Winnebago had some kind of exclusive deal with one of the Big 3, and then bought Itasca (which was a totally separate company) which they kept...

I don't think people are expecting to automatically get 'next day service' on their new motorhomes. And yes, I know that means it can hose you on vacations sometimes, as you don't find issues until...

Julie,

All I can advise is that you can probably get 25% off the MSRP of a new one, so offhand they appear to be asking for 2/3rds the price of a brand new unit that comes with a warranty, and,...

btw, proper inflation can also be an excuse to buy an inexpensive IR thermometer (they are about 15 dollars). Even temps across the entire tire = good. Cool center = underinflated. Hot center =...

It's definitely worth putting a couple of gallons of cheap wiper fluid in both the black and grey tanks.

Something else to consider, for example, is your icemaker, if you have one... it will...

I just put 275/70R22.5 steers on my coach -- XZE2+ because that's what they had in Rock Springs, Wyoming. Drove 3,000 miles on them over the last two weeks and so far, no complaints at all. I think...

Put me in the group where I consider them a "must have" item. Both for the ease of leveling as well as stabilizing the coach.

First step is to road test it with a service manager from the dealership. And if he then says "that's how they all drive" then ask to go on a quick test drive in another coach.

I suspect that if you want to be conservative, figure 1.5 gallons/hour is your "worst case."

If it's got a 39 gallon tank, you'd have about 30 usable gallons... so a good 20 hours of full blown...
