RE: Very concerned with Sandy!!!
A while back somebody published a formula for the wind speed to turnover a trailer or camper. I cannot remember who it was so I cannot credit them.
(weight, lbs)*(width, ft)
_______________________
0.000666 * (length, ft) ( height/2, ft + tire height/2, ft)
For a camper sitting on its jacks I would use the jack spacing as the width. Also for the tire height/2 I would use the clear space under the camper.
You can play around with the values to get a feeling for what it takes. For an 8 ft, high, 16ft.long, 2000 lb camper sitting up 2.5 ft. it would hvave to blow 150 mph +.
I personally have had my Lance 1191 sitting on the jacks come through 50 mph winds in Death Valley with no problem. Yeah, it rocked and rolled a bit.

RE: WHY USE AIR BAGS
does any body have a dodge dually with out air bags stock susp?
and a 4000+ camper
thanks, andy
I have a 2005 Dodge dually carrying a Lance 1191. Air bags plus Rancho shocks plus sway bar plus Stable loads have made for over 85,000 miles of comfortable driving about 15,000 towing a 3500 lb boat. Air bags help with modest front to back or side to side leveling. They do not stop sway but can help control it in conjunction with the sway bar. If over inflated they will aggravate sway.

RE: Lance hood brackets
I had a pair from 2006 to 2012 and they finally failed. They flexed a lot. The replacement pair are much more solid and do not flex at all. Below is a picture of the old and new

RE: Towing a boat
This is my setup. The Camper and truck with Judy, myself and Rosie, our dog, ready to camp is is 13,000 to 13,2000 pounds vs a GVWR of 12,200.The boat and trailer weigh 3000 to 3200 pounds depending on the amount of beer on board. No brakes on the boat trailer. I have towed it for 7 years, approx. 12,000 miles, all over the Sierra Nevada, Oregon, Colorado, Wyoming and Idaho. Never have I felt unsafe or had any close calls stopping. I do keep things in good mechanical repair and well maintained. While I am over the GVWR I am under, tire, axle and GCWR (Gross combined weight rating) ratings. When towing I look to the GCWR. http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r210/RenoAl/camper/P8240135.jpg?t=1279857271

RE: Suspension Problem Lance 1191Max/Dodge Dually
I have an 2005 Dodge DRW carrying a 2005 Lance 1191. I have Firestone air bags with in cab independent control. Rancho 9000xl manual adjustable shocks. No problems in 7 years 85,000 miles. I leave the fronts at 5 and adjust the rears from 0 to 9 as all the weight of the camper goes on the rear. The adjustable airbags help with ride control and leveling. I also have Torklift StableLoads.

RE: batteries off-gassing...H2S?
Brian, check out the charging voltage of the the alternator. If it is over 14.7 volts you will see what you are smelling. Your batteries are toast.
