I took it to a local truck shop and paid for balancing out of pocket. It got a little better but still vibrates. Would be great to have someone besides me take ownership of the problem.

The phone number for ford mh is
800-444-3311

Thank you! I called them and the nearest Ford dealer that can look at is 130 miles south in MS. The ford rep did say that I can find a local private shop and if they get approval ford will pay for it. I found a Goodyear truck shop local that said I could bring it by. Will take it by there next week....fingers crossed.

TO bclinton:
Hey how is it going did you take care of the vibration issue I took my mh back to the dealer for other issues and told them to take care of the vibration issue with there contacts because I am tired of driving far to ford dealers and telling me they can't find the problem it is characteristic of this type of vehicle . I had this motor home more in the dealer than in my company for the past year took delivery in november 2017.

I am just living with it for now. I talked to Ford and they said I can take it to a local shop BUT before they will cover it I have to be in the parking lot and have the shop call Ford to get approval ahead of time. They said the approval is not immediate and may take a while. So basically I drive the motorhome across town....ask the shop to spend their time on the phone with ford....drive the MH back home and wait for ford to say yes or no to fix it. I am guessing my problem is with the tires out of round. One of these days I will take it myself and just pay out of pocket to have a tire shop check them out.

My vibration really kicks in about 62 MPH. I will just try and keep it below that for now..

Has anyone tried to replicate the vibration at a certain rpm? Pull down into lower gear and hold at rpm to see if vibration is rpm of motor related.
