Default Let's See Your Coach



I had a Custom Coach and stacker trailer built to my specifications to race. It is titled as a 2009 Pony Express. It took 2 month of negotiating exactly what I wanted to ever minute detail -- and 7 months to build. I picked it up in May and have 29000 miles on it. I just took it in for service today for the first time to get a slew of things fixed under warranty. I've been very happy with it.









Built on a Freightliner Corando (the big Freightliner), Detroit motor, Skip 12-speed transmission,

Its in for service right now:

1.The water in the fuel light is on (they have a dryer recall)
2. Slight leak in water heater
3. Pocket doors need adjustment
4. Cabinetry hardware on two doors need replacing
5. A couple of sticky windows
6. Black water gauge doesn't read right
7. Exterior speakers on the coach sound like they're blown
8. A Dash A/C vent won't adjust
9. The dump valves on the air suspension of the trailer is installed backwards -- leaving it vulnerable to road hazards
10. The streetside door of the trailer, to get out of the car, was to small and too low. Some major work there -- plus the graphics.
11. A couple of trailer tires need to be replaced from chunking
12. The idler roller to the rear door opener has seized up bearings.

It sounds like a lot -- but this rig was custom built to my specs and that's really now too bad. I've had since April and put 25,000 miles on it -- and pretty anal that stuff be perfect. I figure they have it for 3 weeks.

I wanted an electric awning on the trailer -- like I have on the coach -- but they want $6400 to put one on.

I bought the coach at Becks in Michigan -- but it is being services at Ballards -- just outside San Antonio. To this point -- I'm pretty happy with both places.

I use to have a luxery Motor Coach and a toter with stacker trailer -- but the cost of having the two was more than I could afford. While the old coach was a little nicer for family trips and comfort, and the toter was a little easier to maneuver when bring a couple of race cars and a shop to the track -- this is a good compromise to go racing or motorhoming.

Thanks! We're having fun with it. Went to Disneyworld the first week of May.

Kids have those memories forever. I have five kids and we use to spend 6-8 weeks every summer motorhoming. The older ones are in their mid/late 20s and still talk about those trips.

We're doing a long weekend at Hershey Park this month. Then the whole family will go to the Carlisle All Chrysler Nationals where I'll pull the Road Runner.

Next, we'll do a weekend on the Youghiogheny River Lake in PA at a COE campground (Tub Run). My brother will bring his boat.

In August, I'll take the Road Runner by myself to the Mopar Nationals in Columbus, OH. I was going to stay at the campground/field next to the track, but decided to stay at the KOA campground at Buckeye Lake.

Over Columbus weekend, we'll stay at Assateague State Park at Ocean City, MD. There's a big car show that weekend. The park is right on the beach and the wild ponies wander around.

I'll try to get another weekend at a local park/campground that has a great water park for little kids.

I just got the motorhome back from getting the refrigerator fixed. The door alarm wouldn't shut off. A circuit board was replaced.

I think it's the best way to have fun with your family. I'm not afraid to fly, but hate the hassles. I can't imagine the pain of flying with little kids. Plus, I take as much stuff as I need.

On the way to Disneyworld, I told the passengers they could use the can when needed.

When I was hungry, I just asked the stewardess, er, my wife to fix me a sandwich.
