Yeah, I was hoping that this one had been covered. I'm going to send them your link with the pics and have them reply back. I will probably call Coachman in the A.M. but I doubt we will get anywhere there this late. Thanks again.

Thank you for that info.........I emailed the owners and they replied back 5 lug. I suppose it could be the rare 5 lug conversion but I'm going to say no. I'd say the odds of Coachman doing anything now is about as good as the axle being the correct 5 lug. Looks like I most likely start searching again. Correct 6 lug or a newer unit.....................

Thanks........Coachman is still in business and still a pretty big name in motorhomes. I suppose I could call them in the morning.

Another new member. I know these forums can be invaluable. We had been looking for an inexpensive unit as we don't travel far to go camping and would only use the unit 4-5 a years. We found a 1985 MRV that seems to fit our purpose. The only picture I have right now is the one that came with the ad. It needs typical things which can be expected on a nearly 30 year old RV. I looked and looked and looked and I have found no evidence of any leaking but the sealed areas could use a re-sealing as they don't look the best. Registering here the first thing I read is about the axles. I see where this particular unit was a part of the recall. http://recallrecord.com/auto/coachmen/mrv/ I don't suppose that means it absolutely has been done. I will double check before I pick it up tomorrow unless someone would tell me that I could still get the work done under recall. (I doubt it this late, eh?)
