SOS-

So where in tarnation is the power steering reservoir? The manual says it's in the engine compartment, and so I've hefted the bed up about 3 times looking for it. I see the a/c condenser along with it's 30' tubes to the front panel, but nothing else on the accessory case that looks like the power steering fill-em-up.

I even checked the genset compartment up front thinking OK, maybe its in there. I also followed the steering shaft down through the floor but all I see is a universal joint on each end of a shaft going to the front axle.

Supposedly it's got a stick to check the level.

(Don't ask how many miles I've put on the coach without checking the level. Red Face)

Ours is on the curb side, just forward of the coolant reservoir tank (beside the batteries)--- almost 12 inches in diameter and similar height

The value to a site like this is that you can ask your questions and and get some good and great answers answers. I know in my case I am driving a RV built on a bus chassis. Today, i take the car to the dealer and always mostly buy advanced extended warranties.
