Re: AIRBAG LIFE

A third option is to carry a spare front and rear and wait for a failure (probably on the side of the road). I have had bags last over 10 years on dump trucks, and end-dumps. Much more severe duty than MH likely to get. When the guy that bought my '95 Pete dismantled it to build the Western Star kit he replaced the bags. 2 out of 4 where original. Over 3 million miles, and a lot of them running 95 PSI to carry the load. IMHO it's kinda amazing they last as long as they do912Views0likes0CommentsRe: Flying J RV discount Card
Do a search here and type just "TSD". I have friends using it for their 5th wheel diesel pickups. Can get great discounts on diesel at TAs, Loves, Speedway etc. They also have a nice app to find best prices. I opened a separate bank acct for reimbursement. They have also been a good company to work with over the past 3.5yrs I've been using the fuel card.2KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Brake system for 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee

Nothing to install in the car and not invasive to electronics. The Ready Brute Elite does require the installation of a cable from the brake lever on the tow bar to the brake pedal on the vehicle, but other than that it's a great system: we use it on our 2020 Jeep Gladiator and our 2022 Jeep Wrangler. 2X on the Ready Brute Elite. It's a simple system that works. If you're handy, there's some excellent videos to help with installation and on the Roadmaster wiring (with diodes) on the Grand Cherokee. You'll have to take the front fascia of the GC off for the installation. Kinda scary at first especially since it was only months old when I did it. I drilled holes through the brake petal to connect the cables and feel it's a good way to do it.424Views0likes0CommentsRe: Slides out or autolevelers down first?
lonewolf80 wrote: On my 2014 DP with airbags as I posted prior it is advised to drop air from the airbags, deploy leveling jacks With the engine running (will not operate if not) then move the slides out after the engine is shut down, slides will not operate with the engine running, nor for that matter will the awning deploy with the engine running. My slides will work while the engine is running. While my directions from Newmar doesn't say to; one very experienced and knowledgeable poster suggests (on newer Newmar DPs) to run the engine while using the slide motors because they are connected to the chassis batteries. All this leads to as per stated previously, each needs to follow the directions for their units.2.1KViews0likes0Comments
