LAKE HAVASU CITY, Ariz. (March 12, 2009) — Coach-Net, a leading provider of emergency roadside assistance for RVers, reported today that emergency recreational vehicle-related problems that generated the most phone calls in 2008 were about leveling jacks and slideouts. The company provides a 24-hour on-call staff of RV master certified technicians to help RVers by telephone or by arranging assistance from authorized mobile mechanics and RV service centers.

“Leveling jack concerns range from basic operation and power requirements to troubleshooting failures,” said Patrick Cipres, RV technical service manager for Coach-Net. “The most common call on leveling jacks is retraction failure.” Cipres added that retraction failure is also the main problem RVers encounter with slideouts.

“We are releasing this list to give RV owners a heads-up about the kind of things that RVers have found most troublesome or annoying, so they can pay extra attention to these areas,” said Cipres. “These all involve components that RVers should make sure are in good working order before they hit the road, and which they should know how to handle and how to troubleshoot if necessary.”

Electrical 110v concerns, including shore power connections, appliance power requirements, and basic troubleshooting with such things as GFI testing and resetting procedures, were No. 3 on the list.
