    I know all of us that have been in legit business (Metal Fabrication) have insurance to cover any and all libilities. I take my coach in to Prevost or Stewart Stevenson for what ever needed on ours. They will be covered with insurance. I wish you would post name and outcome of repairs with different mechanic. Next step for me would be to hire an attorney and see where you end up. ( And I don’t like Lawyers) Have other mechanic document cause and repair. Might not get a dime back but i would shake this like a pitbull. Good luck.

    Look at bottom edge close. then door frame. That’s not normal. Not a deal breaker or hard fix. Should be a spot where it is rubbing. A tall bank or curb is nortorious about bending bottom step up a little causing those problems. There is not much in the hindge area that something could get jammed in. There is a small slotted cam in top hindge with a spring but no way I see It could malfunction or cause your symptom most of the time they just freeze(open) and cause your door to work to easy.(they add a little tension to the door assembly). Also check what ever your bottom step is covered with Tile-wood etc to make sure there is enough clearance between it and the door. Just some areas to look at. One last thought -do you have a docking lite/turning lite mounted in the door? if so the electrical wires for it run thru the top hindge. If the wires or ties came loose would cause binding. That’s all I have.

    I went the opposite way. Removed the TV and stereo cabinet. Now, I have additional storage space for 2 folding bikes and assorted other stuff.

    They’re probably 24v batteries. Jon and I have done some research on a battery company and I visited the facility. It is amazing technology. The battery the same size as an 8D I easily lifted and it’s performance was equal to multiple 8d’s. It’s the wave of the future, but will take some time to be a direct drop in replacement because of auto starts and various types of inverter/chargers.

    Thank you everyone!

    It has been a fun experience reading and learning about these coaches. I originally started reading and studying this last summer when we decided to ‘move up’ the ladder. Then, someone suggested this website and then a flood of information was at my fingertips.

    I certainly appreciate everyone’s opinion along the way.

    Jon, I did see that very, very, small print about expensive gifts for you and Tom. I’ll get working on it!
