    This is where I live most of the time, 50×100, with 14′ high by 18′ wide doors. Dump, water, 50 amp, insulated. 25×50 of it has heat and A/C. The only thing I left out was a Pit. (Wish I had one now).

    I think the added pair of shocks was to deal with compression and rebound on coaches with the heavier fron end.

    The added shocks kept the coach from bottoming out on certain types of bumps and resisted the full extension rebound that would break the eye off of a pair under those circumstances.

    I have no clue what impact they had on the ride.

    John,

    The Prevost part # 780562 and the cost was $48 each. Got them in today and had them cut at ACE hardware. They work perfect.

    Doesn’t the XLA require a 9 inch wide rim to take full advantage of the tire ? the 12R will probably the weight his wheels are rated for

    good luck

    Quite a while back I bought my bus a dash cam.

    It will not stop people from pulling in too close, removing my stopping distance, or someone from scraping my bumper because they misjudged when they pulled in, but it sure gives us peace of mind having proof we didn’t hit someone because we were tailgating, but we hit someone because they failed to leave us room.

    Adding the back up water pump was another gift we got for the bus. Now we don’t have to share a toilet at a public rest area with 10,000 of our closest friends.

    Hey……..I’ll have you know I got the “Lennon Sisters” discount. It’s based on the fact anybody in their fan club is so old they cannot even climb into the driver’s seat.

    OK……I’m kidding. I can still climb into the driver’s seat with a little goosing from Di.

    Paul and Janice,

    Our first motorhome is the Dynasty. After my many years of reading, one thing that stuck in my mind was, ‘buy your third motorhome first’. Well, I felt like we did that with the Dynasty. Now that we are getting a larger top-of-the-line motorhome, I can see maybe a class B way in the future.

    The Sprinter units seem interesting, they get good fuel milage……. and, can fit almost anywhere.

    Good luck on your search and I hope that you find another motorhome.

    Safe travels,

    Mark

    Over the past 30 years I have bought 10 new coaches. I finally found some common sense in my
    advanced years. Mileage makes little difference
    and they do not even break in until you reach 100,000 miles. The disturbing thing I found in over 30 years
    of coach ownership is the difference between new cost and the value of your
    existing coach at the same age and time when compared over 30 years continues
    to increase and not remain stable. What
    I am trying to say is the cost of new has increased dramatically while the
    value of your used coach has remained flat or decreased. Even with manufactures leaving the market
    place and new volume decreasing this has remained a constant.

    Lesson in this for me is to find a coach you like and enjoy
    it. As you can imagine this was a very
    costly lesson to learn. Do not worry
    about the odometer reading. When you see
    a new idea figure out how you can adapt it to your existing coach and keep your
    money in the bank. It does not matter
    how much money you have at some point you get tired of wasting it. This works for me, may not for others which I
    totally understand I think.

    Paul,

    The 365’s make a huge difference. I run 105 front, 95 drives and 85 on the tags. I weigh side to side and use the Michelin chart and add 5 lbs.

    Gil – If I asked the GSP to weigh they would look at me like I have two heads. Must be better in FL.

    Glad I was able to make the cut with the other members….. 1,000… wow. I’m glad someone over at RV.net recommended PC when I mentioned about buying a Prevost. I have learned so much here and appreciate everything that you guys do.

    Thanks,

    Mark

    Bill,

    A stock Series 60 515hp will climb the southside of the Grapevine at 40, pulling a heavy toad he would be down to 35.

    You aren’t doing bad.

    Later
