AFTER DRIVING 1 TO 2 HOURS IN THE RAIN ON INTERSTATE I-90 AT HIGHWAY SPEED THE ENGINE TOTALLY LOST POWER AS A RESULT OF THE AIR FILTER HOUSING AND AIR FILTER TOTALLY BECAME SATURATED WITH WATER AND THE ENGINE COULD NOT GET AIR FOR COMBUSTION. I CONTACTED FORD'S MOTOR HOME CUSTOMER SERVICE HOTLINE AND THEIR REP TOLD ME THAT THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM THAT OCCURS WHEN THESE UNITS ARE DRIVEN IN THE RAIN FOR EXTENDED PERIODS. THEY SAID CHANGE THE AIR FILTER, DRY OUT THE AIR CLEANRE HOUSING AND WAIT UNTIL IT STOPS RAINING BEFORE DRIVING FURTHER, TH…

THE CUMMINS 275 HP ENGINE DERATES POWER AND IMEDIATELY DROPS SPEED OF VEHILE TO AROUND 30MHP. ON THREE OF THE FAILURES THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. THIS IS SOMEWHAT OF AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM HOWEVER, CUMMINS CANNOT SEEM TO FIND AN ANSWER FOR THE PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE REPLACED A FUEL PUMP, SENOR AND A LIFT PUMP. DURING ONE FAILURE WE WERE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC GOING THROUGH ROAD CONSTRUCTION AREA AND THE SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER NEARLY CAUSED A COLLISON. THE UNIT IS NOT ONLY UNSAFE DURING THESE TIMES BUT WE HAVE LOSS ALL FAITH IN THE VEHI…

WE OWN A 1999 FLEETWOOD BOUNDER 36S ON THE FORD F-53 CHASSIS. IT WAS ALMOST 2 YEARS AGO THAT WE HAD A PROBLEM WITH OUR GENERATOR FAILING TO START. I THOUGHT IT WAS A FAULTY FUEL PUMP. I REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP AND THE PROBLEM PERSISTED. I TOOK THE MOTORHOME TO A DEALER (CAROLINA COACH & CAMPER IN HICKORY, NC). THEIR SERVICE DEPT. DETERMINED THE PROBLEM WAS A HOSE LEAK FROM THE PICK-UP TUBE IN THE GAS TANK TO THE GAS LINE TO THE GENERATOR. THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID THE PIECE OF HOSE WAS NOT THE BEST QUALITY AND THAT IT WAS INSTALLED WITH A S…

I WAS DRIVING THE MOTORHOME UP THE DRIVEWAY AT MY HOME AND HAD NOTICED VERY WEAK BRAKING ON MY RETURN TRIP FROM REFUELING THE VEHICLE (5 MILES) AS I PULLED INTO THE DRIVEWAY UP A HILL AND TOWARDS MY HOME, I ENGAGED THE BRAKES AS I GOT CLOSER AND THE PEDAL PUSHED RIGHT TO THE FLOOR. I PUMPED IT A FEW TIME, AND DID GET SOME BRAKING, WITH CONSIDERABLE IMMEDIATE FADE. I WAS ABLE TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO A STOP BY ACTIVATING THE EMERGENCY BRAKES. EXITING THE VEHICLE, I FOUND A LARGE STREAM OF BRAKE FLUID ON THE DRIVEWAY SURFACE. UPON FURTHER R…

WHILE LOOKING AT A NEW FLEETWOOD BOUNDER MOTOR HOME IN A SHOW ROOM IN MANASSAS, VA , I HAPPENED TO REMEMBER ABOUT MY FRIEND'S BRAKE DEFECT ON HIS NEW MOTOR HOME ON A FREIGHTLINER CHASSIS. SO I KNELT DOWN AND FOUND THE COTTER PIN READY TO FALL OUT OF THIS BRAKE PEDAL MOUNTING, JUST LIKE HIS DID. I IMMEDIATELY NOTIFIED THE SALEPERSON OF THIS PROBLEM. FREIGHTLINER SHOULD HAVE NOTIFIED THEM BEFORE I DID. *AK
