RE: 83 and have hung up the keys
At 70, I can't imagine what will become inevitable for me, too. It sounds like losing a pet.
Good luck in RV retirement.

RE: Winnebago quality
This is my second rig, and DW and I are really happy with the configuration and feel of it. The paint has been warranted by LCI in Forest City, and they corrected issues by taking the rig back under warranty and fixing the Diamond Shield and faded radius paint. At 8 years old, folks in camp grounds often offer to buy it. It does have a unique paint schema (gray, silver and orange) called "Hot Iron". Like all rigs, we've put a lot of time and cash into getting it to our liking, but it has been money well spent.

RE: Steps acting up again
It may be a chassis battery voltage issue. Try putting a trickle charger on your battery and see whether that cures it. Mine won't work on a marginal charge (under 13v). HTH,

RE: OBD Port F53
mine is under the dash on the right of the steering column. Aside from reading the engine status codes, I used the port to upchip the engine using 5-star tuning.

RE: Slideout stuck in half way position
In my 97 Coachmen, the HWH hydraulic pump had an in-line fuse to each acivator component 4 levelers and hte full-wall slide. When this happened to me, it was a 5-amp fuse that failed from moisture. The pump itself cut off when the fluid got under 50% to keep the pump motor from burning up.
As noted above, there was a strap style chainfall to manually retract the slide.
I was under the forward booth seat and hooked to a mount under the cabinet under the counter where the trash compartment.
HTH,

RE: Running Two ACs on Gennie - Shutting down
There are a few auto-shut-off features, thermal, and low-oil are the most common tripwires. IN the heat, the fuel can vapor-lock. Check the airflow over the genny, another concern.

RE: Kwikee series 32 step replacement Motor & Gearbox
If I recall correctly, the motor used by Kwikee was a dead-on match to the driver's side power window motor for a 1996 Taurus. It was a gamble for $30, but, get this, it worked too well and over-torqued the gearbox. When I opened the gearbox, all the teeth fell on my bench. Had to buy an integrated motor-gearbox assembly anyway. Sometimes the shortcut works...
Later that year, 2018, Hurricane Michael dropped two pines on that Coachmen and totalled it. That ended the warranty on the new motor-gearbox.

RE: Considering first DP - any advice?
FWIW, I have a 6.8l V-10, and up-chipped by 5-Star Tuning, I get 415 HP out of it. Might want to consider that as an alternative...

RE: Backup camera failure
If you can fish the other end of the coax, I would expect a 4- or 5-wire connector. The new camera will screw in easily. It's fishing the wire out that's the rub.
Good luck!

RE: 2013 Winnebago vista 35b flat towing jeep rubicon
Best advice I ever got about 4-down towing: never go down a hill faster than you went up.
My advice: invest in a supplemental barking system.

RE: What to use for GPS
Best advice I ever got about GPS: small TVs with a funny sense of humor.
I use a Garmin and a Rand McNally Road Atlas.

RE: Diamond Shield
The green measles...went through that a couple of years ago. LCI replaced it under warranty, catch was I had to drive the rig to Forest City. Okay, pleasant trip, they took off the Diamond Shield and put on a new generation 3M plastic that looks great. Even buffed out the damaged paint underneath. Lifetime warranty on new product, no charge (except the travel). Local shop quoted me $1200 labor plus new fabric and paint. Yikes!

RE: class a in storage for over a year
Alternate thought: unless an HOA rule prohibits, keep your rig in the drive and use it. Otherwise, you just forget you have it (except when the payment is due).

RE: Tiers of Motohomes
Alternatively, if you were looking to dock your rig instead of rating it, it would be a question of piers over tiers.
Just saying...

RE: Roadside Assistance
We had a flat in Wewahitchka, FL a few years back and called Good Sam. They took the call, and said the best they could do was sent a unit from Mennomini Falls. I pointed out that we were not in Minnesota. They said their computer put Mennomini Falls as close as they could get to Wewahichtka.
My son and I changed the flat.
