When your eyeballs are bouncing so bad you cannot see I think it is more than a flat tire.
Another member with an H3 posted some photos a while back. When his front tire let go it took out some of his body panels. Yet I have seen some coaches with cracks on the tires that gave me the shakes.

Saw Bill’s post and reached out to him just a few minutes ago on the land line.
Sounds like four (4) new starting batteries will be in his future.

Greg, How do you know the tag axle brakes are not working?
I suspect but would need some additional information that if you are not getting air pressure to the tag axle brake chambers when the tag is down that it is related to the valving that disables the tag axle brakes when the tag is lifted.
The quickest way to confirm that your service brakes on the tag axle are not working is to disconnect the brake chamber air line and step on the brake. If they are not working because of what I said above you won’t hear air leak out or see a continuing pressure drop on the pressure gauge.
I think your coach precedes the years when the tag was equipped with an emergency brake so your tag axle brakes are just a simple brake chamber and not a combo.
I also believe you have manual slack adjusters so it could be the brakes are out of adjustment. To adjust the brakes (which should be done about every 5000 or 6000 miles use a 9/16 wrench and using the wrench push in on the sleeve that surrounds the hex head on the face of the slack adjuster. That allows you to turn the adjusting bolt. Turn it clockwise until the adjusting bolt stops. The brakes should now be applied. Back off the adjusting bolt 1/4 to 1/3 turn. The brakes should now be released and the wheel should turn freely.
You can visually verify proper adjustment by having someone apply the brakes. Watch the pushrod on the brake chamber and note how much travel it has. On a brake chamber the size on the tag axle you should see about 5/8″ of travel. It could be more, but if the travel is so great you see the red band on the push rod it is too much.
Brakes have to be working properly and if not there is a serious safety issue. If you have any doubt about them take the coach to a qualified shop. Our brakes, especially the tag axle lift disabling is not like that on trucks so the shop you select has to understand coaches like ours.

Wave,
I had Buzz headlights on my Royale and the were very good, maybe Peter can expand a little more. I can’t find them on the web, so I may have the name wrong.
Here’s a site to look at: Headlight Replacement

Peter,
What model toilet did you buy? At the cost of Microphor parts, replacing sounds like the way to go.

Great news Mark, you’ll finally get it done with rivets and no more worry. Mine is the one ahead of yours, I go in next week, the 2nd of May and same deal, about 4 weeks at Prevost.
Now you don’t have to worry, they’ll practice on mine!:)
Like Mark said, you folks with XLII’s need to get your inspection and get the ball rolling.

Some EMS units do monitor and respond to open neutral–it’s not hard. Here’s one such unit: http://www.progressiveindustries.net/ems_hw50c.htm This will protect your coach from problems that originate from the power pedestal towards the commercial power source. I installed a fixed unit on the output of the transfer switch moving the point of protection further into the coach. The best place to install one of these is at the enterance to your coach’s AC power panel.
I think someone said that a transfer switch picks the input with the most current capability. If so, I’ve never seen one and it would be hard, if not impossible, to measure any differences from a 50A commercial input and say a 40A generator input. The transfer switches I’ve seen always provide priority to the generator input over commercial power and is based on the physical input not the quality of the power. The transfer switches I’ve seen also have a delay circuit on the generator input to allow the generator to stabilize.
Back to the main topic–is the watchdog unit Liberty specific and not supplied by PowerTech? If a PowerTech product, give them a call.

Be sure to go through the regulator Peter.
