Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.
We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!
I have been having numerous problems with my Atwood Leveling System since I purchased my 2006 Allegro motorhome in that year. Every jack has been replaced at least once. This last problem involved one of my jacks dropping to the road while I was driving. Luckily it didn't catch on anything in the road since I drove for several miles with it down. Sue Noyes at Atwood has offered to replace mine with a new system. I am wondering if anyone has tried the new system. I am now just manually driving up on blocks which is working fairly well and not using the Atwood system. In checking with several RV techs they have questioned whether or not it is worth it to spend the money to replace the system considering the age and miles on my RV, 68,000. The new system would be around $1200 plus labor. Do you have any suggestions? Do you have any information about the new system and how well it works?
Not knowing whether your unit is gas or diesel the milage is low.......if it is a gasser you have another 100K of miles left if it is taken care of........if its a diesel you have'nt broken the motor in yet....
as far as levelers......your unit is a 2006 tiffin with a slide I would suggest putting the levelers back in order.........if your old ones just fell off while you traveled down the road I would stop using the RV servicer that does your annual inspections and repair......someone is not doing something they should be durring inspection!!......and your coach is only 8 yrs old!!
Attwood levelers normally have no issues if they are used correctly.......level leg types with bolt on brackets need to be inspected at least yearly and be tighten when necessary
I understand you level with blocks but you cannot level the coach squarely and stop coach shake with blocks
A good RV Tech doing your install and 1200 for parts is a good deal!!!
PS......Welcome to the forum!!!!
