What year F-150 and how many miles driven vs towing? I have never had an issues with what you are describing and I towed a 2014 F-150 for about 20,000 miles and saw nothing like you describe. I have heard of other who mentioned they thought they had issues, but I never saw anyone post a fix for it.

Hum, I surely wonder what you folks are talking about. I may be the only one to say it but I suspect there are many others who are lost.

My enthusiasm to trade coaches continued despite my initial unhappiness with the dealer I wrote about above.
After a delay he did respond to my initial inquiries, but his proposal actually low balled the value of my coach. I responded with a counter proposal and detailed why it had merit. Later that day I asked for a trade proposal on another coach he had listed on his web site. So he had 2 emails from me, both expressing my desire to spend money.
I never got a response to the last 2 emails that were explicit in stating I was ready to buy. It is not like I am unknown or kicking tires. I have now owned a Prevost coach for 35 years, three of them, and was anxious to get my fourth because the two I was interested in had some features I would enjoy.
I have cash in hand, in fact enough to buy either outright. But I’ll be damned if I have to beg someone for a response so I can spend my money. Those that know me understand i am anal about my coaches, and not only does every coach I owned get a full service and inspection every 5000 miles, I throw away good parts, replace them with new just because in my mind they “aged” out.
Additionally my coach works with two minor glitches I will repair in 1500 miles at my next service event. If I were to trade in the coach I would fix them if that was needed to make the deal work.
But I just happened to hit on a dealer that likely has more business than he needs, doesn’t need to sell any of his inventory, and I find out now I am not alone with my poor experience.
The practical side of things came to bear on my thought process. Except for a few systems differences the newer coaches have nothing my coach doesn’t have. My coach to me is a known. A newer coach is likely to have a number of unknown issues and most importantly it will not have modifications i made to mine over the years to make it far easier to use.
So I am done and will not consider replacing my coach. Thank you Mr. Poor Service Dealer for your shitty customer service. I will not name you here, but anyone that asks privately will be warned about my experience along with some things I have learned from others you have dealt with. The Prevost Community is a small population and word of mouth spreads fast among its members.

OH OH What happened George??

There are several chemistries all called lithium that behave differently. Lifepo4 and NMC are the two most common cells used in lithium batteries for RV house use. Charge/discharge behavior is different so it is a good idea to specify which is being discussed when it comes to charge profiles, depth of discharge recommendations, use in cold temps, float voltages, etc.

I cannot put my finger on it or know the name of the site, but there is a site that provides test results on commercial bus chassis after a significant number of simulated miles. It reports broken welds, chassis deflection, and any other damage relating to thouseands of miles of wear and tear.
There are damages on some chassis like broken welds on tie rod attach points, and some chassis have deflection not present after the testing, but surprisingly a commercial chassis twists so little the amount is in minor fractions of an inch.
