What did you do to your Class A MH today???
This is always a fun thread to watch, so I thought I would start one here.

Getting ready to go south for the winter! It was 6 F. and the RV started fine, no need for block heater yet.
I went to have a flat repair and tire inspected. The valve had a very slow leak, it would drop to 40 PSI and stayed there for quite long, the shop tech said this was normally the sign of a leak at the valve or at the extension. One front tire had some crack showing but he said they where still OK, this guy worked as a foreman for Goodyear. He said that goodyear tires had a 5 year warranty on cracking, but mine are 2003.
I also went to have my trailing arm inspected and beefed up by a reputable big rig suspension shop. There was no crack and they welded a 1/2 plate on each side of the arms, about 6 to 8 inches long just under the axle extending fwd and back. On this type of welding, he leaves the end open to reduce stress. It needed two guy to remove and install the arm and one Welder. It was the first time for him to weld this type of arm on a MH but he does welding on all sort of suspension system. I never told him where it normally crack but when he came under the RV, he showed me exactly where he taught they crack, he was bang on!
