Ok, so how do you know it’s time to replace the front shocks? This is a learning experience for me. I’m been on a couple of roads where it felt like I was on the end of a diving board. Up goes the front end and both my feet come off the floor. I called prior owner, who bought a 09 when I bought this 2001, he couldn’t really compare because the front ends are different. I don’t have any external indications like oil leaks, etc.

One problem out west, is most rv parks are small. These rv parks arent not to willing in prime summer season to book a rally. Reason being, we found out in our airstream rally planning, small mom abd pop rv parks have regular summer season repeat customers. A large bys rally of 15-25 busses may be hard to plan space. One rv park that is pretty large is Grizzly RV Park in West Yellowstone MT is a nice park with good sized pull thrus. Its close to all things Yellowstone including Old Faithful. Not too far of a drive is a self tour of Quake Lake, where a massive rock slide during august of 1959 blocked the Madison River, damming it, but remains a lake with a spillway to help stabilize water levels. Then, 10 miles west over into Idaho, is the Centennial Mountains, Nature Preserve, you drive into and is good to have a 4X4
Further into Idaho about 40 miles is the National Scenic By Way to Mesa Falls, and the origins of Big Spring river that feeds the twin falls where water drops off basalt cliffs.
A good days travel round trip would be to Craters of the Moon National Monument. It 100 miles to Idaho Falls ID< then west to Craters of Moon Its a small park, and the roads are solid and wide and bus friendly if only you want to drive thru,
Also a long days drive, is down to Ashton idaho, and cut down thru the towns of Drummond, Tetonia and Driggs, and taky Hwy 33 up over Teton Pass into the valley of Jackson hole to town. eat lunch around the townsquare in downtown Jackson, and take the road north out town towards Moose jct and travelling up valley with the Tetons on your left back to southgate of Yellowstone and passing Old Faithful as you go back out to the west gate to Grizzly. That would be a busy weekend for sure.

While everyone has their guages out can I get a double check? My bus weighed out as follows:
Left Side Right Side
Front — 8,036 7,725
Drive — 8,761 9,332
Tag — 5,962 6,325
Using Michelin as the guide is 120 front, 75 drive and 90 tag correct without any added cushion ?

At $1.00 each I can chage them on weekly bases without every having to spend $2K they want for that job. I bpught few extras just in case that happens. I have had some of these bulbs installed for over two months without issues.

I tried mailing you the pictures but the system told me they file is too large.
I am going to try again on the site.

Had Prevost do mine last year to the tune of 1200 bucks. Drivers side fog issue. That $225 sounds a lot better.

The Newells were heading to Oaklahoma for repairs.

Where they are typically located and how they are usually installed they can be subject to collecting dust, lint, dog hair, people hair, etc. But there are also several types, and the ones I have had installed usually had finned heating elements that did not get extremely hot, and if they did there was a thermostat in the top of the housing, and also a fusible link in the hot wire, both being safety devices to open the circuit as soon as the temps rose above a predetermined level.
I am not familiar with the type shown in the photos, but I suspect they have similar safety features. There is no reason why they cannot be included in a maintenance schedule because they all seem easy to remove for cleaning and service.

I think the key is going to be the model coach and how the various windows are installed. My side windows are glued in place so the windshield is my only option because it has the rip cord in the rubber gasket. On my XL coaches either front or side windows would work.

Our Liberty was set up with the generator air bags all tied to the same inlet, so the pressure was applied equally to all 4 bags.
However, 10 lbs sounds a bit light to me. I believe ours was set to 14 psi. This setting is important as the difference of only a pound or so can make a pretty dramatic difference in noise and vibration levels. You should have a placard somewhere with the recommended pressure stated. It might be a good idea to check the pressure regulator and gauge for accuracy.

Is there any auto water expeller on the front like on a shop compresser? maybe a bendix air dryer with heater near the back for the engine compresser? got to be one or two air tanks somwhere!!

Below 30 you will want to make sure you have heat in your plumbing bays, which probably means Webasto. You may also have electric bay heat. Webasto usually will automatically heat bays and electric may need to be turned on manually.

Thad, I have no experience with that type of inverter, but I have found with a little searching on the internet I can pull up the owner’s manuals on almost any inverter, so even if you do not have them you should be able to get the information needed to set them up based on how you use the coach.
Start with the batteries however. Fully charge them and then with them separated and the surface charge gone, test them individually. If any are bad you will not be able to do anything until you have a new set.
