Steering Play Causes and Cures

Steering free play is probably the number one complaint we hear about from coach owners at our shop. Steering free play is when the steering wheel can be moved back in forth in your hands, but the vehicle is not steering-in other words, there is excessive “play” in the steering wheel. When you stop and consider how many different components are involved in the steering action on today’s motorhomes, it’s easy to understand why steering free play is such an issue. You have the steering wheel, coupler, two-three universal couplings, steering gear, sector shaft splines, the pitman arm, drag link, bell crank, tie rod ends and the tie rod end sleeves. While steering free play can be caused by one of these items, more often it is a cumulative effect, where several components contribute to the problem. We’ve seen everything from an inch or two of play in either steering direction to extreme cases where we wonder how the customer was even able to drive the coach! Read more  Read More →

RV Doctor – Jammed Slideouts

Dear RV Doctor, I own an RV with three slides. The large slide in the living area just stopped working. When you try to open the unit all the other slides open but the large one gets about half way out and gets stuck on the side the hydraulic cylinder is on. It is trying to open but the other side will jam. I have done everything I can think of. Can you give me any advice? –Jerry Griffin, (Moody, AL) Read more  Read More →

Full-timing RV essentials part #2

From the desk of Firedude. In part #1 I discussed academic essentials and here in part #2 I’ll discuss some of the more Tech type stuff. I’ve had recent inquiries from those ordering new RV’s in particular fifth wheels asking what add-ons to consider at time of purchase. I’ve learned through all my upgrades and through trial and error. I wish only I had known some of these things from the onset and it would have made life so much easier and lessened the out of pocket expenses later for such. Had I known many of these I would have ordered such when I bought the coach. Some I did. Some things to consider here and remember some of these can be added as “gimmies” if worked out with the dealer during the time of purchase. It’s nice to have it included in your financing as the out of pocket is much less than if you do this yourself later down the road. Here are some of the items I suggest, but not limited to and may not fit all. They are just suggestions, especially for full-timers. potential full-timers and those planning on extended trips. A Fantastic Fan or similar product These are a must in my book as you can exchange the air in your coach with outside air in just a mere minute or two. Mine is located above the bedroom. It also comes in handy when taking showers to evacuate the moisture from the hot shower. We all know moisture is one of an RV’s worst enemies. Vent covers for all your rooftop vents including the Fantastic fan These allow... Read more

Getting The Most Out Of Your RV

Today, with RV’s costing so much money, both in the capital and operating costs, one has to get the most out of the equipment and features of their purchase.  So, how can an owner get the most out of the equipment and features from their current, or future, RV? The answer is pretty basic really: know how to operate and service each item that makes up the rig.  Surprisingly, or perhaps not, a large number of RV owners either do not thoroughly read the manuals, or do not retain much they are told or read.  Time and time again we hear or read of people asking elementary questions, like, “How do I get the chrome wheel cover off the wheel on my motor home?”  Also, one can not assume that a component on a new coach or trailer that appears similar to that of their last rig is, in fact, the same.   Perhaps many believe they already know how each component operates or maybe they don’t read the manuals as they are waiting for the movie to come out.        Knowing how to operate and carry out simple servicing and care of each component is a necessity to get the full value and maintain each in top condition.  To fully understand this requires the reading of each section of the manual, including those that seem most familiar, like the television set operation manual.   This one I can relate to first hand.  Back in October I purchased a digital TV converter for my rig, which is an ‘07, built in ‘06.  Dah!  It didn’t need one as... Read more
