Re: dolly vs flat
I totally agree the 4 down is much easier and convenient to connect and disconnect, but with the people I personally know the troubles and money involved I will stick with my dolly, no troubles in over 6 years, one friend bar failed twice under warranty and the second time dammaged the front of his 60k trick, another the brake control has repeatedly failed causing expensive repairs to the unit to be required. My initial investment cost me 700, both of theirs was about 2k the first time and then all the repairs. But they still swear by their tow bars four down.185Views0likes0CommentsRe: Breakdown Information

Was able to get Mid-South Cummins of Little Rock to look at it(seems no one in Ar will work on anything > 5yrs old, " its not worth our time") after 10 days of diagnostics and ording parts, transmission computer was replaced w/ all associated wiring harnesses that were burned and damaged cost $3900. 1994 36' Allegro Bay DP cummins 5.9(40k miles) w/ 6speed Allison Transmission Purchased unit from private individual in MS drove home to Ar(300 miles) with no problems, two weeks later drove to Mo(250 miles) camping no problen during road trip. Set up and tried to move next morning jacks come up, engine started, transmission would not engage or light panel. Had just signed on for GSC(w/ERS) the day before they responded on site in about an hour with service truck, could not find problem called tow rig which was on site in about 2 hrs from original call. Will conectingtow rig to unit, unit was started to straighten wheels and everything started working. Tow was cancelled, cause has not been identified. Unit has operated normally since but have been afraid to use levelers as this is what the technician suspected was the problem but could not verify.507Views0likes0CommentsRe: Breakdown Information
