    Corey I too have been to the Zip Dee Awning Mecca. My experience included dry camping out in the parking lot, having my slide awnings replaced with new (two times – the first time was wrong color – their error). And my Auto Awn checked out – it worked perfect for the Zip Dee guys. Next time I tried it was Amarillo Texas – did not retract – had to manually remove rafters and roll it up and wire tie it to travel.

    as Orren stated I recall very vividly the high noise level of O’hare Airport – Big A planes.

    Good Luck!

    Red,

    We are in Maryland right now. Things are going good, visiting family and grandkids. Ann says get Larry Bird to flap his wings faster when going up hill.

    25 pds of boost sounds like enough, you just have to manually downshift to keep the boost up and depending on the hill 55 MPH in 4 grear might be as good as it gets. Once it shifts into 5th or 6th you lose rpm and boost and speed. On some hills if you downshift to 5th and keep you speed up you can do better then 55 MPH. Get behind a slow truck and lose speed and boost and you are toast.

    Tell Patti hi for us. Hope you are having a good time.

    Joe, if all it takes is adjusting the slack adjuster, go ahead and do it. It is so simple even Tom can adjust them.

    Seriously, if you have the adjusters without the automatic feature get a 9/16″ wrench, push in the metal sleeve over the adjuster, turn the adjuster counter clockwise (or clockwise if that gives better clearance) and when the new chamber is in place turn the adjuster back the other way. You need to adjust them periodically anyway so now’s the time.

    Thanks guys, I will look for the premium Stemco seals.

    My drives are fine, and I checked oil levels on the steer and tag that were leaking over the course of the trip and they were fine…before I left I sucked out some of the old fluid and topped off with Lucas hub oil (“stops most leaks”) no joy on the front but one tag seemed to get better.

    Whatever is not leaking I will leave alone and only fix the leakers as I know messing with a non leaking one may be asking for trouble. I finally gave up on my Dexter oil bath axles seals and went back to grease….
