New To Country Coach (and the forum)

Yahoo Message Number: 96342
Just purchased a 2005 CC Inspire (formerly owned by Tom and Vicky Chesna) and have been lurking here for a couple of months. I think the learning curve on this forum may be steeper than upgrading from a class C coach? We did get to leave Dallas for. 4 day shakedown/discovery trip so I got the opportunity to go through maintenance records, read the manuals and crawl under and around the unit. I have figured out how to get the messages sent to my email but not sure on the correct protocol to reply. Seems to be be multiple options. In any event I've already gained some knowledge lurking and hopefully I'll learn how to start asking questions. We are very much looking forward to using our new to us coach as much as possible. Thanks. Frank & Maryann Roths.

Welcome Frank and Maryann. Congrats on your purchase of a great coach! This forum has saved us many, many times. A great, helpful group.
Be patient with yourselves. There are so many components to these rigs that you just need to take time to learn. We would read a manual every night for the first few weeks!! LOL. We still have to get the manual out for the in dash radio backup camera!! I don't think we'll ever learn it! We full time in a 2004 33' Allure and love it!!

Congratulations Frank & Maryann,

Sue & I also have a 2005 Inspire. I'm sure y'all will enjoy your coach travels as much as we have been enjoying ours.
I think it's good advise to go slow and get to know your rig and its operation before taking any major trips.
These are great coaches but there a few important issues to address. Tires being the first, if they are the originals they most certainly need to be replaced. Has the PTO (Power Take Off) wet kit been installed. Do you have the original aluminum radiator in your coach? Has the engine had its valve lash adjustment done, recommended at 30K. There are many other items that can/should be looked into that will make your travels more enjoyable. I would be happy to talk to you about any questions you may have.
We live in the Dallas area as well.
Happy Travels!

Good Morning

If you folks live in the Dallas area you might want to know of National Indoor RV Center, these guys are a great source of service, parts and information. Most of these guys worked for a Country Coach dealer before Country Coach went out of business. There contact information is below.

Walt, I agree. I have used National Indoor Storage several times. They replaced my radiator last year when it started leaking. They worked directly with my service warranty company and everything went smoothly.
They are good people to work with.
