Michelin RV tire handling problems often stem from incorrect tire pressure, load rating mismatches, or construction differences between tire brands. Most issues can be resolved through proper pressure adjustment, load distribution, or tire replacement with better-suited models.
Reduce RV slide-out wear with proper usage, seal maintenance, and lubrication. Covers usage frequency questions and storage tips.
Essential RV tire safety guide covering selection, age limits, maintenance, and when to replace.
Holiday Rambler fenders can be sourced from REV Group parts department, RV salvage yards, or fabricated by fiberglass shops. The recurring detachment indicates a mounting flaw - reinforce attachment points during repair.
P068A indicates an ECM/PCM Power Relay Control Circuit malfunction in your Ford V10. This typically involves a faulty power relay, damaged wiring, or ECM issues causing engine stalling and starting problems.
Glendinning's post-2020 power cord reels show improved reliability with dielectric grease on slip rings, but the Cable Master bucket design remains more reliable long-term. Most owners report fewer connection issues with newer units.
Replacing an F53 rear pinion seal requires specialized tools including a 1-inch drive socket, torque multiplier, and seal pullers. This is a complex 6-8 hour job that many RV owners should consider having done professionally due to the precise torque requirements and driveline balancing concerns.
Pedal Monster modifies throttle sensitivity, not actual power output. Results on F53 motorhomes are often subtle because the heavy vehicle limits acceleration regardless of throttle response. If you do not notice improvement, return it - it does not add horsepower.
Replace RV tires at 6-7 years regardless of tread condition. Internal rubber degradation is not visible but increases blowout risk. At 7 years with 2018 DOT codes, your tires should be replaced before extended travel.
Weak factory RV refrigerator latches can be easily upgraded with stronger aftermarket options like positive-latch catches, magnetic latches, or adjustable door strikes. Most solutions are DIY-friendly and cost under $30.
54K miles on E450 V10 is moderate and not concerning. V10 engines commonly exceed 200K miles. Check maintenance records and get pre-purchase inspection focusing on overall condition.
After running out of gas, air is in fuel system. Hold start switch longer (15-30 seconds) to purge air. May take several attempts. Check oil level is correct after change.
Class A offers more space and amenities at 28-33ft. Class C easier to drive with better MPG. For your needs (king bed, large shower, recliners, tow SUV), Class A likely better fit. Test drive both before deciding.
Class B offers better MPG and easier driving but limited living space. Class C provides more comfort for extended trips. For 40-50 mile cycling days, Class C comfort may be appreciated. Consider small 24-27ft Class C for balance.
For your family of 6 with mold concerns, I'd recommend a newer gas Class A (2015+) over an older diesel pusher to minimize mold risk while still getting the space you need. The health factor outweighs the noise/comfort advantages of diesel in your situation.
