Robert,
How often should the wheel bearings be repacked on a class A motorhome or any motorhome? Does it make any difference if it is a class A or class C and does the chassis type make any difference?
Thanks!

Dear Robert,
I have a 2008 Holiday Rambler Admiral with, 6,000 miles on it. How often should I consider front end alignment? I have a Workhorse chassis, gas engine. And do I have to consider any particular maintenance of tires, rotation, etc.?
Thanks,

Hello Barry,
We usually recommend that a straight front axle coach like this one gets aligned when it is new, and then once every 30,000 miles after that. Why do it when it’s new? For one thing, these alignments are done en masse at the factory, so it may not be that accurate. Also, the coach is unloaded the first time it is aligned, and now it’s loaded. We recommend that you always have a coach aligned in its normal, loaded, road-ready condition. |

Dear Robert,
We have a 2009 Winnebago View 24H, 16-inch rims. I understand how important checking the tire air pressure is. However, the valve stems are nearly out of reach. Just getting the valve caps off and on is a major task. I discovered that Camping World sells extenders. The front wheels valve stems are reachable, however, the rear duals are not. A 2-inch extender for the inside valves and a C-shaped extender for the outside valves looks like it would allow reach. What is your advice on mounting the extenders, and do you have any guidance about how to work with short valve stems?

I recently purchased a 1995 Airstream Motor home built on a Freightliner diesel pusher chassis with a B series 6.9 l Cummins engine. I have had no previous experience with diesels or airbrakes, so I was surprised to find that after it had been parked for about 4 weeks, the air pressure began to decrease and would not come back up during the weekly engine run of about 5 minutes each. The air pressure responded downward when the brake pedal was depressed and released.
I find very little information about the airbrake system in the chassis manual or the motor home manual. Where should I start to begin locating this problem?
