RE: Opinion on Forest River Berkshire Quality
2019 coaches were built in 2018 (pre-covid) and 2020's also the year before,2019,
for the most part. The economy was still good and people were still willing to work so the "during covid" thing doesn't hold water.
I say, buy the coach you like and can afford, then take it out and enjoy it.

RE: Month/Year of Mfr
My coach serial number indicates the build completion date but there is also a tag with the date behind the driver seat.

RE: Month/Year of Mfr
I'm curious, do you think the Coved shutdown would have somthing to do with quality or contamination?

RE: Tow dolly or not?
The only way to find out if you'll have any sway is to buy a tow dolly and give it a try. Odds are you will be fine and won't have any issues. A tow dolly just seems to be something that more of a problem to store that use.

RE: GAS CLASS A. Vs. Dually
I once owned a 2009, high end, gas class A that road every bit as good my 2015 Silverado 2500. The class A was more comfortable to drive being up high with a large windshield and a larger more adjustable seat. I am far more tired after 500 miles in my pickup than I have ever been in a Class A

RE: Outside Faucet Repair
I agree with replacement. Probably cheaper to just buy a new one.
As for removal, the stems have threaded, locking nuts on the back side of the panel it is mounted on.

RE: What Chassis do I have
Tony, there is really nothing special about an OEM converter, Ford doesn't build them anyway, they are provided by one of their vendors. I think the major concern is one sized large enough for your 8-cylinder engine and fits in the space of the original.

RE: What Chassis do I have
Class A's were built on the F-53 chassis. E series were basically vans. So you have a F-53 chassis
You can call Ford with your VIN number and they can give you information on your chassis.

RE: Winnebago Destination
I have always been intrigued with rear engine gas motorhomes. Seams engine service may be easier and putting the heat behind you while driving would be a plus. If the engine revs loudly, at least you would be 30 feet away from the noise and a flat floor up front is a plus.

RE: 1994 Holiday Rambler Endeavor 30CB
Not much differance in MPG's betwen a samll class A and Class C motorhome. Class A will be somewhat more comfortable to move aroumd for the passenger while on the road. Most A's have levelors and only some C's do so in my mind the A wins out.
As for gas milage and maintenance, they are pretty much the same.

RE: Air-conditioner availability
I work in the HVAC industry and never seen it this had. All the circuit boards, capacitors and relays are made in China and probably sitting off shore along the west coast. I struggle to get air conditioners and even enough parts to make repairs for my customers and this has been an issue for the last 6 months. While a year is a bit much, its not all that unusual.

RE: Newmar Slidout seal
You have a 2021 coach and Newmar replaced the seal twice? Or was it replace by a Newmar dealer? Somthing is just not right. I once owned a 1998 Newmar that I sold in 2012 and all the slide seals were original.
You may wamt to have a conversation with Newmar about this problem. Your coach is way too new to have this problem.

RE: 12 Volt reset ??
Not at all unusual find a 12 volt reset will get an inoperable slide to work. It has happened to me before. A different time I lost the ability to read current for L1 on the EMS panel. A reset of the 12 volts and all was well.
I for one need to learn that when 12 volt dc things stop working, a simple hard 12 volt reset is the first thing to do before tearing into the electronics.

RE: Winnebago quality
I have a Winnebago and have owned 3 prior RVs Newmar, Fleetwood (pre Bankruptcy) and a REV Products Ambassador. I feel the quality is as good or even better than any of them. The customer service has been better than any I have preveously owned.

RE: Black water tank overflow
Winnebago has always plumbed the 1/2 bath sink into the black tank on the 43 and 45 foot Class A rigs along with both toilets. The grey tank gets connected to the rear sink, kitchen sink and shower.

RE: Adam Graphine ceramic coating
Ceramic coating might last 7 months but I hardly thing is could last 7 years unless you never wash the motorhome and maybe keep it in a garage. If it doesn't last you could never prove it because it's invisible and can't be measured.

RE: A/C Issues??
You say both are set to 75 and the rear is 74. That means the rear is cycling the compressor off because the temp is satisfied and the compressor is cycled off. Just leave the front set to 75 and bump the rear down to 68. You need both running to drop the temp up front where all the glass is. At night you can bump the rear back up because you won't have the sun load on the front of the coach.

RE: 2012 bounder scare light
While some refer to that light as a scare light its not meant to scare anyone or anything so putting a switch by the bed would serve no purpose. The light is to help when hooking up after dark so the dash switch makes the most logical place to install it and why its over the wet bay.
