Whine from drive line

Yahoo Message Number: 1864
At breakfast in the hotel today I met the couple who have the Damon in
for service. They are from Florida. Their dealer was absolutely
hopeless and would keep their MH for a month and they'd find nothing
done. They are about 6 months out of warranty but Damon is going to
fix everything. Their major problem is a slide that is not working
right. On the trip here from Florida they encountered heavy rain and
a closet was flooded. Damon is fixing everything because they had
notes documenting their reporting of problems to their dealer during
the warranty period. They said that without that evidence Damon would
not have invited them here to Elkhart. They even have a deal for
fuel cost recovery and Damon is paying for the hotel for 4 nights.

When I mentioned the drive-line whine the fellow stopped me and
started grilling me. Then he said - "I had the same problem on an
earlier unit - identical symptoms and it was the ring and pinion in
the differential. It was fixed under warranty. An expensive job if
left until it breaks." I've passed this on to Randy and our MH is
going to Mor/Ryde tomorrow for evaluation.

It is back from the paint factory and they will be working on the
other items until 2:30 PM. Then we get to stay in it in the parking
lot overnight.

I sure hope they get the problem identified and fixed. I don't like
the thought of one day having a differential going on the road.

Don,

If you have a second, could you ask Randy to point out where the
inline water filter is located in our coach. I opened every cabinet
and cubby, and for the life of me, I can't find it. I'm pretty sure
we have one, I recall the tech mentioning it during the PDI. I also
have 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.

The water filter is under the sink and in the rear. Real hard to get
to. Dane
