Whine from drive line October 28, 2008, 10:37:10 am Yahoo Message Number: 1864At breakfast in the hotel today I met the couple who have the Damon infor service. They are from Florida. Their dealer was absolutelyhopeless and would keep their MH for a month and they'd find nothingdone. They are about 6 months out of warranty but Damon is going tofix everything. Their major problem is a slide that is not workingright. On the trip here from Florida they encountered heavy rain anda closet was flooded. Damon is fixing everything because they hadnotes documenting their reporting of problems to their dealer duringthe warranty period. They said that without that evidence Damon wouldnot have invited them here to Elkhart. They even have a deal forfuel cost recovery and Damon is paying for the hotel for 4 nights.When I mentioned the drive-line whine the fellow stopped me andstarted grilling me. Then he said - "I had the same problem on anearlier unit - identical symptoms and it was the ring and pinion inthe differential. It was fixed under warranty. An expensive job ifleft until it breaks." I've passed this on to Randy and our MH isgoing to Mor/Ryde tomorrow for evaluation.It is back from the paint factory and they will be working on theother items until 2:30 PM. Then we get to stay in it in the parkinglot overnight.I sure hope they get the problem identified and fixed. I don't likethe thought of one day having a differential going on the road.Don Quote Selected

I opened every cabinetand cubby, and for the life of me, I can't find it. I'm pretty surewe have one, I recall the tech mentioning it during the PDI. I alsohave a manual for it!Or for those of you with a Jayco product, where is it in your coach?Don and I both own the same Jayco 32SS.Thanks, Rich., "grandriver125@..."wrote:QuoteAt breakfast in the hotel today I met the couple who have the Damonin for service.
