I like it ... good shot !! Howard

What Gary said ... SECTION3-STEERING,SUSPENSION,WHEELs 3-9 gives you some part numbers and recommended bag pressure depending on axle. You do need to get them changed in my opinion. Never below 10 psi for example, up to 80 -90 psi for the 5500 # axle, on 16000 # chassis. Previous owner 1999...

Hi, maybe I can give you a hand, While I have a 2001 Southwind on a Ford V10 chassis, keep in mind I haven't done much if anything with it for a couple of years. That being said ... When you say it stumbled going down the road, and you pushed the Aux start switch, that tells me your engine...

Beads ... have worked very well for us. There are 2 types, one needs the screen on the valve stem, another does not.  We have for latter, but don't remember the brand off hand.  If you can find a smooth road the ride is smooooth!    :) Do all 8. Howard

If you don't find anything else obvious, you might want to get a load test on the new batteries.  It doesn't happen often, but a bad battery fresh out of stock does happen. I had one that had a bad/weak cell  that took quite a while to figure out.  Remember ... What did I do last before my "new"...

Also note that you will want trailer/fridge fairly level while you are getting ready and pre-cooling to prevent damage to cooling system.  For example if you are hooked to tow vehicle in driveway, which slopes down to street ... not good.  this is not a problem enroute, ie hills etc. Howard

OK Dutch, Thanks for the correction ... I wasn't sure. Howard

Beads are the way to go.  Have used them on the last 2 sets of tires.  When you can find a smooth piece of highway, smooth as can be! There are two types of beads, one requires a filter on the valve stem.  I believe Dyna Beads do not ... someone correct me if I have it wrong.  It's been a while...

See you beat me to it.  ;D Hi Howard, Thanks for the email. All water & electric sites have both a 30 & 50 amp hookup. Best, Connor Behm #1278007 Membership Services Representative EAA-The Spirit of Aviation Phone: 1.800.564.6322 Fax: 920.426.4873 www.eaa.org www.eaaforums.org

I couldn't find anything either ... as there are a lot of new sites I would guess those are 50 amp, but don't know.  Sent them an email asking for info.  I'll post the answer when I get it. Howard

They have greatly expanded the water and electric sites.  Here is a map https://www.eaa.org/-/media/Files/AirVenture/PlanYourTrip/Camping/2019CampSchollerMap.ashx A planning page https://www.eaa.org/airventure/plan-your-eaa-airventure-trip/eaa-camping-and-lodging I can never remember how to...

Check out this Hedge trimmer  :o  :D https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pla06PO6Odk Howard

If hinges are worn ... probably ... using E clip washers you can put them on without having to remove door.  Just lever or carefully jack door up slightly and insert on bottom of hinge shaft. Like these...

What John says ... have been there and done that.  Years ago overnight at a truck stop woke up middle of night with furnace blowing cold air.  As soon as we fired up the RV to leave heat came back on. (probably had to recycle on-off switch).  Coach batteries got too low to give enough fan...

I'm with you Larry ... others may be able to do without, but I need the optical viewfinder Howard
