etcetera Posted June 20, 2021 Report Share Posted June 20, 2021 How hard is it to do any maintenance on Class A, both pushers and the engine is in the front configurations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darryl&Rita Posted June 20, 2021 Report Share Posted June 20, 2021 It's easy. You give your credit card to the nice guy at the service counter, the sweating and grunting occurs out of sight and ear shot, easy peasy. In reality, your question should be a 2 parter. Side engine fan models are typically easier to service than rear fan models, while front engine models are just a bear. A lot of side fan pusher service can be done without entering the cabin, a little less on the rear fan pushers. Much more work on front engine models will require removal of the doghouse, and working from inside.

etcetera Posted June 20, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2021 I am specifically interested in this class A model. Supposedly removing the doghouse exposes the entire top of the engine. I have never owned a class A so have a hard time visualizing this. youtube searches went nowhere. 2004 Itasca Sunrise M-30W Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It actually varies quite a bit from one make/model to the next. I doubt that any of them would be considered to be easy to access things like sparkplugs.

Darryl&Rita Posted June 20, 2021 Report Share Posted June 20, 2021 (edited) Here's a generic version; How to Remove the Doghouse (Engine Cover) from RV - YouTube Most doghouses aren't a 2 piece setup, like he's showing, and usually have a bolt in each rear corner, and either a screw or buckle in each front corner. You can touch most of the top, but you'll be working from the bottom for spark plugs and things like that. Air filters are remote mounted now, as are cabin air filters. Oil filters might be engine mounted, or remote, but they're underneath work, either way.
