RE: Leaf Spring Frame Mounts
In most cases the axle is put in this position for a reason. Not to make the trailer higher but for tire or axle clearance. The pipe is there to give the mount vertical stregth. To lower it 4in. you would have to move the shacle end 4ins. also. They make the pin box adjustable for this reason and I don't know of any adverse efect raising the pin box would have.

RE: MPG for RVing versus flying
When you fly to your destination you see clouds and air and hope you don't have any surprises. When you travel in your RV you see the countryside and hope you do see somthing surprising.

RE: receiver into hitch????
I can not recomend welding or drilling on the receive hitch. The bar and receiver are designed to have movement to prevent the it from seizing in the receiver.

RE: Oil Filter for Vortec engine
The most important thing you should consider when choosing an oil filter is the ability of the material it is made of to filter the oil. The second thing is the ability of the filter to flow as much of the oil through the filter material as posible. At 2000 RPM the engine pumps x amount of oil to the oil filter and at 4000 RPM it pumps nearly twice as much and what can't pass through the filter material is bypassed and not filtered at all. For this reason I use the napa gold 1794 that give you the largest filter material posible. PS. the 8.1 does not need a bleedback checkvalve because the filer is mounted verticly

RE: MH very slow going up hills
It's not a fuel filter or fuel delivery problem if it pumps 16 oz. in 5 sec.
If it's not missing or bucking, it's probably not plugs or wires.
I would check the ignition timing and advance.
Might want to check for blocked catalytic converter. These are good suggestions. If it had a trans problem you wouldn't have made it to the top.

RE: Gluing Hinges
Auto body suppy stores will have what you want. Today they don't weld body panels on they glue them on with a special apoxy. With this apoxy every thing else will break before the apoxy comes loose.

RE: Parts from Car Quest
I went into my local Carquest for an "O" ring for my kitchen faucet.
The kid asked what kind of car the "O" ring was going on so he could look it up on his computer. I told him a Price Pfister. He said who makes that and what year is it?
Hmmm... The system is only as good as it's opperator.

RE: FLORIDA SNOWBIRD Activities, Attractions, Dining, Etc.
We like Cody's Roadhouse for lunch or dinner. They have great specials and have many locations. We go to the V.F.W. for friday night fish fries and if you look around there are a lot of small resterants to choose from.

RE: Beeeeeppp question
My MH is eguiped with a proximity alarm so I don't back into anything. When I turn corners and the toad gets closer to the corner of the MH it sets this alarm off. This sensor is one inch in diameter on each corner of the back of the MH

RE: What the heck...something smells bad out there...
Have you checked the battery water. If the batterys are dry they will give off a real fowl oder when they are charging. If they are dry I would suggest you replace them.

RE: F53 and Rough Ride.
Fireup: I agree that urethane bushing do pivot on the inner sleeve and needs lubing but rubber bushings are bonded to the inner and outer sleeves and the rubber is what lets the suspension move. As the rubber ages and hardens it will break loose from the inner or outer sleave and should be replaces.

RE: F53 and Rough Ride.
If you have a rubber pivot point in your suspention that you beleive needs to be lubed it needs to be replaced. The rubber is attached to the inside and out side of the bushing and doen't require any lube. In time the rubber does harden and brake and the bushing needs to be replaced. Back to the original subject I would suspect the shocks.

RE: Proper Brake Operation
It weighs a lot more then your car and is harder to stop and it also takes more distance to stop. Leave plenty of room in front of you and slow down sooner for stop lights and signs. It's a big truck!

RE: Caulking ? Need some help from the Pro-RVer's
It's a 2010 take it back to the dealer and let them worry about it. If you put the wrong sealer on it they could void your warranty.

RE: Dolly question
Once I had mine centred, I marked where the drivers tire was and extended a paint line down the ramp (outside of the drivers tire). Now I just follow the line up and it is reasonably on centre.
Ken Thats the way to do it.
