ZF Tranny Help

[Jeff Miller]

The ZF has some low-voltage issues, is quite likely your problem. Try
to duplicate the problem with the genset running and charging the
batteries, or be sure that the batteries are fully charged, watch the
voltmeter on the dash to see what it reads if it drops out of gear.

There is a fix listed for the control box voltage, might be in the
files of this or possibly on the wanderlodgeforum site, I'm not sure,
but that would be the permanent fix if this is your problem. It
probably won't get better.
