Bill (Hemme) Remember when I disconnected the chassis battery lead to the radio and picked up the 12 volts from my coach batteries? Well, it would draw down my chassis battery in no time at all. (I took the positive lead off the hot side of my coach disconnect switch). Apparently it created a feedba...

John, Don't know what model you have but on our rear door models, the electric rear step is also operated by the chassis battery. I have a professional DC amp meter that will detect and measure any draw, if you are going to the NJ Rally I would be happy to check it. George B PS Bill is correct on th...

Matthew & Teri,
You just gave yourself the best advice, get E-rated tire right away and stay away from Fireston Products. We (BF) have lost a ton of them to sidewall failure especially the D-rated ones. George B

Bettylou, We have a 1999 22' built for two with 100,000 trouble free miles on it. It is our second BF but won't be our last. We will go back to a 24' rear bath next time which I think is the perfect coach. On the bed & Breakfast, that model is a special purpose coach and while it reflects the sa...
