I have owned my motorhome since new in 2012
Some things that you fine people may be able to help me with.
I took it into northern Saskatchewan this weekend about 600 km oneway i hit wind rain hail lol. Does anyone know what i can do for the transmission constantly hunting upshift down shift.
Next i have installed a Rv showerhead from costco and also a oxygenics when we turn the head off so not to waste water when soaping up they both leak causing the pump to kick in and out and not to mention wasting water.

Anyone else have water in the right front compartment there is always water in ours i have resealed the door tightened up the lock can’t figure how it is getting in.

How many KM since your last transmission service? With 8 years of ownership, it seems a full service (fluid and filter replacement, mechanical adjustment and/or software updates if applicable) may be in order.

Please let us know what you discover.

Cheers from Calgary, the shower head leaking a trickle is intentional so the hot water doesn’t go cold I believe.
I went with an RVtune on my 2015 e-450, it helped with the shift points. But I always use tow/haul and turn off cruise control before any hills so it doesn’t try to gear down too much. Water in the compartment could possibly be from water pooling on top or your cap seam, I’m parking mine with a slope to the back now especially with all the rain we’ve been having.

A tuner from Ultra RV Products changes all the shift points. Much better than the factory setup.
