this is a forum for gas class A motorhomes. Ford F-53 chassis for the most part, the 7.3 and the V10 before it, and the Workhorse and Chevy chassis guys are welcome too. if you have a diesel pusher there are bigger boards for you already.

three boards. Coach talk is the house side: slides, roofs, generators, tanks, batteries, storage, floorplans. Chassis, drivetrain and tires is the Ford side: handling, brakes, tires, weights, and the mpg arguments. Buying and auctions is where you tell the rest of us what you paid, where the coach came from, and what you found when it got home.

rules. when you ask a question give the coach year, the model and the chassis year, because a 2019 coach can sit on a 2018 F-53 and it matters for recalls and tires. no selling coaches inside threads. be civil, the V10 people and the 7.3 people have to share this place. if a mod moves your post to a different board you will find a note where it used to be.

accounts are by email request until i get ahead of the spam. tell me the coach and the town and you are in. gary.

signed up from the Wisconsin side. one ask, gary. can the chassis year vs coach year thing get its own line somewhere people see it? we bought our 2017 Hurricane thinking it was a 2017 chassis and the Ford dealer in Eau Claire set us straight, it was a 2016 F-53 with the 6 speed. changed which recall applied and it changed the tire date math.

added a line to the about page for that. i will start a proper thread on it in the chassis board when i have an evening free. thirty some members after five days, better than i figured for a board that did not exist last week. questions do not have to be smart ones, ask them.
