Planning to replace the tires on my 2019 Tiffin Phaeton 40IH, and ever since I started getting quotes, everyone keeps suggesting Toyo as a cheaper alternative to Michelin.

I'm honestly a bit overwhelmed by all the tire choices and wondering if I'd be making a mistake switching brands. Will Toyo tires give me the same ride quality as the Michelins? I've heard you can save quite a bit of money, but I don't want to compromise safety or comfort since we're still learning how to handle this big rig.

Would really appreciate some guidance from those who've made this switch - are you happy with the decision or do you regret not sticking with Michelin? …more

Around 85°F, my 2008 Tiffin Phaeton with Atwood Levelegs refuses to fill the airbags for leveling — works perfectly in cooler weather. The coach is sitting low and I can't get it to fill the airbags properly. One of my leveling jacks isn't working right now.

Are the Levelegs and air suspension connected systems? What should I check to get my coach to raise up so I can drive safely? Is this something I can troubleshoot myself or do I need professional help? …more

Xantrex RV3012GS inverter is throwing a fault code and the repair shop wants $2,800 to fix it. Inverter is 8 years old and I'm debating between repair, buying a refurbished unit, or upgrading to something newer. What are my realistic options here? …more

Our 2013 Phaeton's Coleman AC remote sensor is throwing wrong resistance readings and I've got my multimeter ready to fix this myself — just need the correct values to check against. The remote temp sensor in my living area started reading 99°F constantly, so I checked the resistance and found it was only 9kohms while the working sensor reads 90kohms at 82°F.

I ordered the replacement part 8330-3101 (which supposedly replaces my old 8330-309), but I'm worried because the new sensor ALSO measures 9kohms right out of the package - exactly like my "bad" one. I've tested both thermostats and they work fine when I swap the sensor leads.

I'm hesitant to install this new sensor since the resistance seems wrong. Could I damage my thermostat or AC system if there's a compatibility issue? Should I be measuring resistance differently, or is there a wiring problem I'm missing? I don't want to make things worse by installing the wrong part. …more

My husband just casually mentioned we're about to drop our entire retirement nest egg on a luxury motorhome when neither of us knows anything about RVs.

I keep hearing different brand names thrown around but honestly have no clue which ones give you the most bang for your buck in that mid-range luxury space. Also wondering if I should buy new or let someone else take the depreciation hit? And what features should I absolutely not compromise on for full-time living?

Just want to make sure I'm not learning expensive lessons after I hand over the cash! …more

Three dashboard warning lights are lighting up on my 2018 Tiffin Phaeton 380 Cummins whenever the parking brake engages while running. Worse yet, the engine immediately goes into limp mode and won't rev past idle. Even after releasing the parking brake and the lights go out, the engine stays stuck in limp mode until I restart it. This is really frustrating because it happens every single time I engage the parking brake. We're currently 170 miles from our usual service center and I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction. Has anyone experienced something similar with their Cummins-powered motorhome? …more
