Hey y'all ... Kat & I still have our bird although we still aren't
using 'er (work all the durn time). Of course that means when we do
use 'er I've gotta work on 'er ... right??

The worm gear that moves the generator compartment out & in is wore
out. Motor still seems to be okay but the worm gear is horrible. It is
of the same design as the ones used to position large satellite dishes
(y'all remember C band don't you?).

Does anyone know a source other than BB to order a replacement unit?

Someday I'll share some of my "war stories" re: getting a stuck genset
to go back in ... or even better ... getting it out.

Hey Steve,

Why wait for someday? Please feel free to immediately share the story
of how you got the stuck genset to go back in with the worm gear not
working. You know, just in case some other 91 model owner might be
interested. LOL.... and needing to file that for future reference.

you will probably find that the linear drive onyour coach was made by
warner electric brake now owned by Danaher Motion.
