In reference to Donald Millers' moving things around. I saw the Propane
Tank reduced in size to a smaller unit and put in back of the drivers
seat part way back under the sofa. The water tank moved to beneath the
sink area and some air conditioners taken off the roof with the POD
removed and the air put under the refrigerator. I don't know how all
this is but I think getting the weight off the roof is a great way to
reduce poor handling.

Sound like it is starved for fuel. Check the fuel pump and if that is it maybe
think about an electric pump. Darren

If your coach is not overheating then your clutch is working. Depending on whether
or not you have added insulation or placed items on top of the access cover, you
may not hear the difference in noise level when the clutch engages. Darren
