RE: Gonna be driving a school bus! UPDATE: 10-15-09
if you are driving a flat fronted bus one way to tell where you are at is to put your left knee close to the side of the bus and check with your mirrors where the bus is at on the road. after adjusting a few times you will be able to have the bus where you want to. i hope this helps.

RE: I think I should have more power
a diesel to run well needs large amounts of air and the right amounts of fuel.i agree that i would change your fuel filter first and if that did not do it i would check your air cleaner. read the owners manuel there is a filter restriction gauge on the air cleaner. hope this helps.

RE: Problems with frame of 5th, please advise (UPDATE) Repair
if you do not know where to go look in the yellow pages for weilding shops then call and ask who works on truck and trailer frames. there is quite a science to fixing them and building right. cross check the shops by going to trucking companies and see who does their repair work or check with your insurance agent.choosing the right shop is critical but the good thing is it will not be all that expensive to stiffen and gusset the frame. hope this helps.i would fix it before using on any camping trips.

RE: Warranty for Keystone Raptor is a joke
that is the main reason i bought from northwood manufacturing. i call the 800 number and they tell me where to take it and it is fixed. my suggestion to you is to call the manufacturer and see if you can take it somewhere in the area to have it fixed. hope this helps.

RE: KUDOS to Northwood Manufacturing
we also had very good luck with our desert fox. the one problem that we had was taken care of by matt at the factory with no problem.if we buy another one it will be one of theirs but the one we have works very well for us.

RE: Watson Lake
when the alcan was gravel it was a lot better than when they paved it. when i first came up it in 1975 the canadians had the maintance down to a science. they kept it well graded with calcium chloride mixed in the top and it was great but you rig got dirty people complaigned and they paved it and what happened ground moved could not just blade and the large pot holes and frost heaves resulted.
