    As I understand Buick Enclave and GMC Acadia are on the same platform. The M&G company does not make a brake for the above. This was in 2010 so we went for the Air Force One.

    I’ve not heard of US Gear braking system.

    I don’t understand the difference in the 1/4″ depth. They both look the same.

    If you are not wanting the lock tumbler to enter the hole, rummage through various thin washers at ACE or Lowes or such. If the washer raises the casting surface removesome of the casting under the new washer.

    The bump looks like it could be leveled off with a file, disc sander, grinder.

    If I am wrong in your requirement, keep talking. I will give more ideas. This looks doable.

    I use the AirForce1 on my Tahoe and lke it. It too is permanently mounted and only involves an air line when hooking up. Others here I think have the M&G. Have you checked to see if the M&G will fit your application? It won’t fit on some vehicles due to clearance issues. I have never heard of the US Gear one.

    It’s hard to give advise without knowing what you have. If you put 60 psi in the accumulator tank, that’s a big problem. Tthe 60 psi is the operating air pressure required by the Microphor air toilet, not the air needed for the accumulator tank that controls your water pressure. Do you have an air toilet? If you don’t it’s probably a Headhunter and not air.

    Jim raises an excellent point about keeping the coach comfortable. Even though we have auto-start if the electric at the pole fails our house AC units will shut down and even with the generator running they will not restart.

    We tried to not travel with our pup in the heat of summer for that reason.

    When I asked about the stand rating being individual or the pair, I was told the rating is for the pair.

    I carry an infrared heat gun for checking my tires and hubs at every rest stop. The same gun works great to periodically check electrical connections all over the bus. You will find any problems long before they start to discolor.

    threegreens Proper care is very important. I bought my coach in december and the house batteries were 2 years old. But the previous owner didn’t care for them and they were no good! Soo I had to replace them. Rick

    Les,

    I moved your post here so we can get Prevost involved with your steering issue.

    Thanks Bob! I appreciate the info. I’ve got a scratch on one of my tag hubcaps too so I thought I’d start there before moving on to the “real” stainless. If I screw up the cap I can always get a new one!

    Richard,

    This is how I would approch you coach based on your comments.

    I would place the coach on a level concrete surface inside a quite building. Hook an air compressor into the system so it feeds the wet tank. adjust the air pressure to #120. Use the level low valves to raise the front about 1 inch above ride height and then support the chassis right behind the steers on the main frame, (my 2 supports are 13 inches). Then raise the rear of the coach 1 inch above ride height and support the rear of the coach right behind the tag on the frame, (14 or 15 inchs). Then you can let your bus down on these supports. Now you can start to go under your bus and start looking at all the leveling valves and stuff.

    As statedon this site, do not go under the bus without proper supporting.

    Once you get this far, you can go under the bus and start moving the leveling arms and get close with how your bus works.

    Bruce I too have a speed o meter problem. I thought it was the meter but as it turns out it is the Programmable Speed Switch. You may or may not have one. Mine is located in the compartment outside under the drivers seat. Located on the right wall. It says Programmable Speed Switch on it and has a ribbon wire attached to it. Rick
