Title: HWH air leak and recommendation on where to get service in Florida
Post by: George Stoltz on January 02, 2011, 10:50:28 am
We have a very audible air leak coming from under the front of the coach.  This morning, I raised the front of the coach, blocked it and crawled under with a big bottle of bubble solution to spray all connections.  I could not find a leak anywhere so I'd like to take it in to Alliance Coach, Inc. in Wildwood, FL.  Alliance is a HWH Master Center and is about 60 miles from here.

Has any one here had experience with them? The RV Service Review.com web site had 4 outstandingly good reviews about this facility.

Please don't make any suggestions about how to find and fix this leak.  I am not physically capable of crawling under our coach and using wrenches and making multiple trips (60 mile round trip) to civilization.  I am only looking for feedback on Alliance Coach or some place else within 50 miles of Orlando where you would take your Foretravel.

Thank you.

Since that's closer to your Ocala hangout, you should be fine with them. They are the former Monaco factory service center and had a good rep back then with Monaco owners. HWH is HWH, nothing really speacial about it being installed in a FT.

George, you need to raise the coach and check the air bags and the air bag connections, I found one on our coach, spray the bags with your soap solutions.

I will let the service facility do that.  I'm done trying to find and fix this leak.  But thanks for the suggestion. I had not thought of the air bags as a possible problem.

Thank you, Dave.

That is exactly the kind of response I was looking for.  I'll just take the money I saved on putting in my own Annabelle faucet and applying it toward the service we get at Alliance.  I have to remember that it is better for me to do what I can do and let others do what I can not.  Especially so since a botched repair usually costs more in the long run than having gone to the experts first.
