Did some checking and apparently Coachmen did upgrade some of their units with the full floater. Even so considering the time that had passed from manufacture date until the very late recall was issued many of them were probably missed. Especially when motorhomes tend to change hands so often. No one was more dilligent than National RV and even they missed a few

There is no correct 5 lug. has to be 6

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.

Well did you look at the axle? Is it the wrong one? Yes Coachman is a big company but it's not the same company. All assets were sold to Forest River in 2008. If the axle update hasn't been done I'm pretty sure your on your own. I haven't heard of a manufacturer doing a recall in all the time I have been on these sites. 10 years or so.

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.

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?)
