miacasa_2000 Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 Last winter my daughter and 2 granddaughters came to see us off and immediately called to say sparks and fire were under the coach. I stopped and found nothing nor smelled nothing. So we started again with them on the phone and it started again as soon as we were moving, again I looked everywhere and especially at moving items like driveshaft, wheels found nothing. So the third time and yet again now I'm frustrated so my granddaughter gets out to go ahead and record it for me this time nothing these three stops and starts take about 4 or 5 hundred yards. Now I'm at a place where I'll be on a main street thru town so they follow in the car and thru the whole town with the stop and starts nothing so on to Fl. we went. When leaving FL. this spring had a friend watch and nothing. Read some stuff here about some chassis failures and things dragging , broken welds, Etc. I got the coach jacked up and have looked everywhere still nothing. Could it have been tag axel brakes stuck for a little bit? when I left it rolled from the get go fine not like a hang up but maybe the tag axel I wouldn't notice. Best I can tell my coach was made in Coburg plant # 10 start date 5/10/02 delivered sometime in July . Of course has the S series 10 bag chassis not sure if this has the problems that were discussed here before. Any thoughts ?

JDCrow Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 You are on the right track. Anything that comes in contact with the ground or stuff that moves (wheels, drive shafts) I’ve overheated semi brakes using Johnny bar to brake the trailer. The drums bright red and linings on fire, but no sparks. But it’s not to say that you had a brake lining come apart and have metal grinding in there. Just a word to wise, with fire season, any of us would be in the hook for millions $$$$ if it was found out we sparked a fire with our gear. Stay safe out there 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miacasa_2000 Posted July 27, 2021 Author Share Posted July 27, 2021 Thanks the weird part is this happened after sitting 8 months and every thing was ice cold and after couple hundred yards it ended and never came back. Roy 2003 Dynasty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miacasa_2000 Posted July 27, 2021 Author Share Posted July 27, 2021 Thanks but no. Never move it until all is good including my walk around inspection and would have seen that at the first stop only about 100' down the lane.
