HITCH ROLLER

By the time I get to the top it isn't too bad. It's pretty steep just off camera to the left and at the very bottom (which you can't see in the vid). I was looking at those rollers. I don't have a tube-type hitch but I'm sure I could make something like that work. I just need a small roller on each side of the bumper.

I had 90 PSI in the rear suspension which had it sitting higher than normal in the back but in the vid it didn't look too high. All I needed was maybe another inch or so of height, which I think I could get out of the rear suspension with more pressure.

Maybe something like a pair of these, then...
SKID WHEELS

Tinted the driver and passenger upper side windows.

Having moved to a new house with a REALLY steep driveway 5 months ago, I finally got the courage this past weekend to bring the old Allegro up. There is VERY little swing room up top but I was able to get it tucked into the woods after some strategic thinking. There were a few minutes where I was afraid I'd have to back it back down! It did scrape a little coming off the street due to the incline but it wasn't bad and could probably be avoided with a bit more air in the rear bags.

That sure looks pretty.

Repaired a minor/major leak in my air system. The coach was losing all air overnight. This had started a few weeks ago but I didn't pay much attention until I lost all air overnight.

Here's the gotcha, I have tinnitis really, really bad, constant hissiing in both ears, consequently I cannot hear an air leak.!! I aired it up and asked my wife if she could hear anything (dumb thing to ask), I won't repeat her comments. Well, it was real loud hissing near the left front tire. I ran the coach up on some improvised ramps and determined that the problem was a cracked threaded coupler (nipple) between the secondary reservoir tank and the pressure regulator valve. This was supposed to have been addressed while in service at the Spartan facility in Charlotte MI. Wrong. It had the wrong threaded coupler and the coupler was cracked. I replaced with the correct coupler purchased at Home Depot.

The air will hold for a couple of weeks before airing down. This means that I still have a leak somewhere. Unfortunately this coach has a PVC cover protecting whatever is under the coach. My next project is to remove the covering and trace the leak.

Added a Progressive Industries 30amp hardwired surge protector and a Park Power plug system. Had the portable Progressive Industries unit and it save our motorhome during a strong lightning storm strike.
The power cord will now be easier to roll up and put away without fighting through the hole in the bay.

Now, buy this 90 degree adapter for your power cord and it will take the strain off the cord where it enters the plug. It has worked very well for me.

After having it sit on my work bench for the last five months I finally got around to installing my Trucenter
