Re: Who Performs the Oil Changes on Your C
In our town there is only one oil change place with bays just big enough to get our rig in the door and over the pit. After discussions with the owner over liability and who knew more about driving the rig, they let me poke it in the bay. I will probably start changing it myself in the driveway. It's just too much of a hassle to take it somewhere and trust they will not screw something else up.450Views0likes0CommentsRe: My new to me 2011 Jayco 31SS has no spare tire?
I have a 2012 Greyhawk 31FS, it did not come with a spare. The rim and tire cost just under $450 from Ford. Stock, rating stamped wheel just like the ones on the chassis. There is room up under the bed on a 31FS, other models may not have the same clearances. I opted to mount it on a receiver hitch post mount from e-trailer and carry it on back when not carrying bikes. I bought and installed a front class 3 hitch on the front of the coach. I have since moved the spare to the front. It added weight to the front axle load, but I have not noticed a decrease in handling or engine/trans temp increase. I would almost say the extra weight/down force, has helped handling. I cannot take a long trip without a spare. I see it greatly reducing the amount of time spent on the roadside and that will increase our safety. Plus is the tire matches others and i will not have to double pay for a temporary field fix in the boonies.227Views0likes0Comments
