Went for an overnight stay with the wife about an hour south of our home.(Twin Streams Campground Morris,PA)
~First trip ever with newly rebuilt MH~
*I knew I didn't want to utilize any secondary roads for traveling, but wife insisted this particular route was shorter. Saying the least, we had a "DUKES OF HAZZARD" experience... Things inside the MH flying around, front end of MH came off ground a couple inches and then suspension bottomed out, tires rubbed hard inside the wheel wells.
No Damage, just a big amount of excitement and a hard laugh afterwards.
Determined on this maiden voyage that I need to do 3 things to the MH.
-Headers,x-pipe,mufflers.
-upgrade to a 4 barrel carb and intake manifold.
-Get new shocks!!!
**Engine could use power upgrade and the original rebuilt 2 barrel carb is a wimpy thing that likes to flood when turned off after driving for a while.
