Re: Can cold weather affect air bag leveling?
But my last repair was the front valve only......I understand the front maybe leaking......but why has my right rear start going down too. We have made a couple trips with the rear bags and all shocks......... She stayed level before the front valve....???? I'm thinking the rear bags just are not seating fully in this frigid weather(improper sealing could be having a latent/ delayed effect).....I'm taking it back to the shop but I just wanted to know if someone else maybe has had a similar situation. I really do appreciate all input........Ol'Ben500Views0likes0CommentsCan cold weather affect air bag leveling?
New air bags(all)/ new shocks(all)/ new level control valve (front only) Before the new front valve I could park, shut the engine down, and level(HWH) and it would hold all night....actually weeks. Enter new valve......now the right side, front and rear?, leaks down over night......huh??? The weather here is in single digits at night...........??? I've dumped and releveled several times thinking maybe a valve was iced up......no help...... No problem once engine is running...... BTW....front air bags, with adjustment, sure did improve my ride! Any input is appreciated here. Thanks already........Ol'Ben2.9KViews0likes11CommentsRe: Colorado Ownership Tax
Holy Horse Stuff, Batman!! Illinois; 1 time sales tax based on year, not price/ license $100....same as my van and car/ Insurance is required.....all states I'm sure. That's it............Just renew license and keep insurance current....good to go. Save the extra bucks for operational upkeep.....Illinois seems short of good, qualified, and reasonable RV techs.?????466Views0likes0CommentsRe: MPG on a 2015 27' Fleetwood Storm with Ford V-10 gas engine?
We get an all around average of 6 mpg..........sometimes 5.5/ sometimes 6.5. I run 65 to 70 when the roads are acceptable. I haven't towed my trailer in a couple years........just the coach. We have OTR ac when wheeling........but run the generator or webasto heater whenever necessary. Cold or hot weather don't affect our travels......snow can make me stay an extra nite at wally world. I'm very happy with the efficiency level of our coach. ..........($2.00 diesel is a plus, eh?) ..........Ol'Ben371Views0likes0CommentsRe: In Your experiance what are best ...
Prevost.......especially Liberty and Marathon MCI.......................................... Foretravel.......... Blue Bird........... There are many preowned coaches for sale by these top builders .....and many are less than $180k. You can get a lot of coach for those bucks. Suggestion/ opinion=======first coach?.....get an old timer to help you check the rig out thoroughly, after you find one that fits "just what you wanted"......... Good luck......it's a great hobby....even lifestyle! Enjoy......Ol'Ben155Views0likes0CommentsRe: Live outlets with inverter
Goldencrazy wrote: Is there a general pattern for what outlets are hot when inverter is on or do I just need to plug something into each and use trial and error to discover? I know generally the front media center is hot and the mid tv. Are GFI's generally connected as inverter circuits? ==================================================================== GFIs should work with the inverter......I will say tho that I have 2 inverters and the GFIs didn't work when #2 went bad. What are you running?....someone will have a similar setup I'm sure. Merry Christmas........Ol'Ben182Views0likes0CommentsRe: Winter camping
No generator?? Greatest thing for batteries/ heaters/ lights.......not too expensive to run. (our class a is factory installed 20k/ still reasonable on auto to run heat) Small honda should set you up nicely. ........14" of snow here....a mild winter, I'm told???:S Enjoy.....Merry Christmas! .............Ol'Ben634Views0likes0Comments
