Tragic Death Class A
This, from a friend on another forum. Posted here with permission. Please be careful and ensure your coach is adequately blocked before crawling underneath. DO NOT rely on your LEVELING JACKS.....Dennis
I just got a message from a friend of mine telling me about an owner who was crushed to death under his Dynasty.
I do not know the full particulars of the accident so I am not going to arm chair quarterback or try and surmise what happened.
I did not know the owners but my friend owned the 2015 Dynasty previously and I inspected it at the gathering in 2019 and was helping them chase a leak.
Mark traded it in on a Prevost recently and the new owner picked it up. While staying at a campground they developed an electrical issue
so the guy climbed underneath. The auto leveling dumped its air and the coach crushed him to death.
The point of this post is to remind people that on coaches with auto leveling you have no business being under your coach unless you know
the safety procedures for dealing with the auto leveling system. The big coaches with auto leveling like the Dynastys, Exec's and Sigs have very little ground clearance
underneath to begin with and if that air dumps you WILL get crushed. Stay the hell out from under your coaches unless you know what you are doing and have taken neccessary
safety precautions.
The wife and family of this gentleman will remain in my prayers.
