Thanks in advance for your help..JBRe: Sway bars???I have a 97 fleetwood flair F53 chassis. when I purchased it 9 mo. ago , it had a lot of sway .In checking it out the bushings were worn out on the sway bars. That with new shocks, also very soft ,bushings front and back and a front end alienment solved my problem.Now drives as close to a new one as I'll ever get.A shop that works on big trucks might save you a little money..thats what I used.Pets in the coachI have an English Bulldog (53lbs. of love) . How do I bock him from getting to the dash of the MH if we have to leave him inside while we are gone/ (eg out to dinner or sightseeing) not all places let dogs in and I do not want to leave him in the car. Iknow we have lots of pet people out there... Thanks for the advise JBBATTERIESFOR HOUSEI need to replace my 6 volt house batteries that will not hold a charge. Do I go with wet cell or maintianance free and what is the best battery? Thanks for your help, JBRe: Newbie - First time towing car dolly - looking for tipsI to am a newbie to rv'ing. A auto electic shop can wire your van so you can plug it in like a boat trailer.The cost, depending on computor systems in the van was from $200./$450. It's a great way to go if the cost is not prohibative. good luck, JBRe: Newbie - First time towing car dolly - looking for tipsI to am a newbe to the RV world.
