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!!

We have a 2008 CC, with Cummins engine. There's a Country Coach owners group on yahoo and irv2 that you can throw that question out to as there will most likely be someone on there with a similar model/year and might know all the gremlins specific to the unit you are looking at. We just replaced out PTO spline, to a wet spline, but think that issue may be specific to a Cummins engine. This was a preventive move and nothing broke. We have been extremely happy with our coach and have very few issues overall.
