No pictures, and not today but over the past weekend:

- thoroughly cleaned the outside
- fixed a kink in the water tank pressure relief line. Much better water fill now :-)
- filled fresh water tank
- hooked up LPG
- tested all systems

... ready to go on the first trip for 2012!

Is that a TDR emblem on the grill?

I talked to a truck service place about adding one main leaf spring to each side of my 2008 F-450. Have to use new spring bolts. Cost estimate around $500-$600. Think I will do that next week. No sag or sway or steering issues now but the back of the truck is still lower with the big Okan t/c with two slides. I have tried several things, best so far is the block-name?-between the springs and helper springs that gets more use out of the helper single spring, but as the back is still lower I want it level and I do not want air bags. Timbens did not do anything I can tell.
