You will then be able to bleed the air system and work under the coach safely. This first !!!! I always lower the jacks AND then put large wooden blocks (8x8's stacked horizontally) under the frame in case the hydraulic jacks leak down/fail. Good luck and be careful.688Views0likes0CommentsRe: Looking for 5 star RV Park
pigfarmer wrote: sailor Lou I'm looking for CONCRETE or ASPHALT pad. Every place is gravel, dirt or grass all over the USA. Although limited, Danforth Bay (Freedom, NH) has a few Deluxe Sites. Below is their description from the website: Deluxe Sites Danforth Bay has 4 full hook-up, deluxe camping sites. Located in close proximity to the lake, these sites have a 12 x 45 foot concrete pad for parking your rig, a 10 x 10 foot patio complete with table and chairs, fire ring and charcoal grill. Standard to all full hook-up sites are 50 amp services, water*, sewer, cable and recreational WiFi access. *Please note, water hook up is not available seasonally from fall (mid- to late-October) through spring (late-April / early-May).

Mine seems to be somewhat rare in that the water pump is driven off the serpentine belt with no separate V-belt. I don't know if that makes a difference, but I am able to install it myself without too much difficulty. I also have a rear radiator setup so it's all done from the closet floor. As Brett noted, I check the fan bearing pulley ever year (I have the setup with the sealed non-greaseable bearing) and did change out the tensioner a few years ago as a preventative maintenance item.

We purchased ours in NC and lived in CT at the time. Took a trip to the NC Motor Vehicles with the original owner where they transferred the title and gave us a temporary plate. Very easy and pretty inexpensive transaction. I did need to show NC insurance, which I had gotten prior to flying down there.493Views0likes0CommentsRe: Long Term Stays

We've done it this way since we started this MH deal about 25 years ago and never had an issue. On my farm tractors it's even a longer downtime (up to 10 months), same deal, never been an issue. Same here with everything we own (RV, boats, classic cars and backhoe). Lou 05 Travel Supreme Envoy369Views0likes0Comments
