Adjust the TRW steering box so you have less than 1/2" movement on the steering wheel before doing anything else. On the left side of the engine area there is a pressure regulator/gauge for the tag axle...needs at least 40 psi. Push the black knob in and turn CW to increase the pressure.
Weighing before loading your stuff is a waste so try 110 front tires, 100 drive axle, and 80 in the tag and go test drive it. Unless you have leaking oil around a shock I would not replace with only 64K miles if I remember correctly.
The chains that lift the tag may have too much slack in them...probably not worth adjusting as long as you hear air expelling when you try to lift it.
I would put up to a gallon of distilled water in to top off the AHot...do not use car antifreeze.
Ivylog; not trying to hijack the OP's thread but this is good information for me as well as an new owner of a 2008 HR Scepter 42PDQ.
The dealership "tech" did not know anything about the tag during the PDI- it reads around 20 lbs - I have read the owners manual about calibrating the tag and plan to do that soon, as well as having weighed.
My steering wheel is consistently to the right to go straight. It has a True Center switch but it seems not to work (manual says pressing the switch more the 30 secs burns it out).
I'll be checking tire pressures (dealer put on all Goodyear RVs -
not my fav). After loading and weighing my next step is an alignment.
Back to the OP - congrats on your new coach. Isn't it a lot of fun learning the new systems? Especially with the help of members of this forum.
