We bought our Coachman and after a very short time, (after being on the road long enough for it to warm up) when we would slow down, it would try to die. I would change the fuel filter and then it would run okay.(by then it would have cooled down). I stoped at a stop sign on a busy sunday in St. Louis and had to be towed. I did not know where to get help without spending a lot of money at a dealer. I found out from other RV campers that I was having fuel pump problems. I changed the fuel pump myself and that fixed the problem.
Hope this might help someone else that is having this problem and thanks to the ones that put me on to the fuel pump problem.

Our leveling jacks have recently developed a mind of their own. Sometimes they work, sometimes not. I have discovered that going through the gears (on the touchpad) I can eventually get them to extend or retract. Seems their is something NOT connecting in the neutral switch. Does anybody have any info on this kind of failure?

Hi Ray, this type of problem usually is a LOW VOLTAGE problem. This in turn is often cause by a POOR Ground. Best bet is the clean the ground on the pump. Also check 12V conections. Use "corrosion block" liquid to keep the current flowing.. Jack

Then the gagues all stopped working, another thing that they knew could happen and didn't fix it before they sold it to me.
Then the pitman arm wore a hole in a front air bag and I fit the pavement on the front end. An other call back that they knew of before selling the rig.
A lot of small things and then the big trip back to the factory up in Indiana and a list of about 10 things had to be fixed, one actually got done, the called me and said it was ready, I drove two days to get ther and they sais the problems were all fixed, I ask about each one, they didn't know about any of the problems on the list, they fixed the TV antenna that had just been replaced.
The big one was last summer, we saw a notice of a call back on NorCold fridges, we called and they assured us ours was not on the recall list. So on the way fron Ga. to Me. we got in a camp ground in upstate NY and at 2:30 in the morning my wife woke up caughing. We discovered there was a lot of smoke inside seeming like it was coming out of the convection oven but was really the fridge on fire. I held it down with the fire extingusher from outside but if we had not gotton out when we did another minute or so we wouldn't have had time.
NorCold came good for the fridge buy we had a mess of smoke damage and wes set back three weeks before we got under way again.
Lets just say I wont be going to any Golf Stream Rally soon.

Break Down Description:
Ran over a several pieces of a tire in the highway from some vehicle, presumably a truck.
Symptoms:
none at all just decided to pull over and check the tires.
Effect: a gash on the inside rear
Cause: tire remnants in highway
Outcome:
Had to replace the tire. If I had not stopped and checked it out I would be paying for a lot more than just the tire and change.
