Re: add leveling jacks to class c?
I had Bigfoot levelers added to my Concord in Lakeland, FL at a shop that does 5 or 6 sets weekly in June. Cost was $3800. I got the set with the remote. There is a cheaper set that has a hard wired actuator and a more expensive set that is fully automatic. Bigfoot makes them specifically for Class Cs. I used them on several occasions and they are fantastic. I chose Bigfoot over the HWH because they do not use springs to retract and they do not take up a compartment for the pump, etc. They are retracted hydraulicly and the pump unit is located under the coach inside the frame. Check the Bigfoot website and give them a call. I really like the remote as I can stand outside and make sure the jacks are properly extended and place wood pads if needed. There is no way I would hane a MH without a leveling system. Dave217Views0likes0CommentsRe: My new to me 2011 Jayco 31SS has no spare tire?
My Concord came with a spare as standard equipment. It is in a well in the rear compartment made for that purpose with a lid on the well. But, as Bumpy says, no jack or lug wrench. I would not attempt to change a tire - that's what I pay Coachnet for. One poster mentioned removing a rear dual to use in the event of a front tire flat. Not a good idea, even if it would fit - with aluminum wheels, only the inner steel OEM wheel will work up front - as you will grossly overload the remaining tire, quite possible causing it to blow. Just my $0.02. Dave227Views0likes0CommentsRe: Weights for an awning shade
I've been using gallon milk/water jugs for years as temporary weights. Haul them empty, fill with water or sand when you get to your destination, empty when you leave. The ones with the screw-on lids are the best as the lids don't pop off if dropped or banged. Run a bungee cord through the handles and they can be strapped to the ladder or other place if room is not available elsewhere. I've also seen plastic grocery bags full of sand and gravel used, but they are not very substantial. Dave374Views0likes0Comments
