RE: Four Winds or Jayco Greyhawk
that's a lot of ching in my budget....it'll lose half it's value in a few years....I'd look at used....and if you have to spend that much a higher quality DP would be more worthwhile to me....theres a bunch of them out there.....just my 2 cents

Propane detector.....reefer question...
2 questions for your consideration.....2000 23' Jayco eagle....Norcold refridge plugged into shore power...I was enjoying a beverage yesterday I hear the propane kick on...reefer set to Auto incase we lose power....we had now power loss...why would the propane kick in while plugged in?....is there something messed up with the reefer?...the wife thought that when the air is running on shore power she heard the propane kick on to the reefer...she remembers it doing so last year....she thinks it switches to propane due to the power draw of the air conditioner....is it possible she's correct....(lol)......next question...propane detector went off I hit reset...it remained silent since....Battery says charged on test panel so not low battery...do the detectors go bad or need replacing after 12 years?.....thanks for all your responses

Steering shock on V10 E350 chassis.....
Today I found that the steering shock (not sure what it's really called) on my E350 Ford V10 was leaking oil....I'm assuming it's junk....how essential is it?.....heading on a 1500 trip Friday....doesn't look hard to swap out....is it an easy to find part.....who would have them and what do they cost....can I wait until I come home from the trip or is it an essential fix...thanks for your help and input....

RE: I put the Hellwigs on front and back today....
Both sway bars were about $520 shipped....I just drove it around the block....it seemed to be a better ride....haven't really gone anywhere since last fall, so it's hard to remember how she handled....as far as sagging on entry I'm sure it won't take care of all the problems but it has to help...be able to give you more feedback later....headed to Canada for 5 weeks the 14th....good luck

I put the Hellwigs on front and back today....
Gosh darn it...that rear one is heavy.....front went on in about an hour....piece of cake....rear not so good....Jayco decided to mount the house on mounts that half covered the holes the sway bar was supposed to use...and the Ford hole was only like 3/8" not 1/2"...drilling them out was a bugger...and because the thickness of the house mount....the bolts on hanger from Hellwig were too short...had to take those in get them ground off and re welded with longer bolts....coulpe other small issues but I finished 7 hours after I started....the bride was a big help....just a little crabby because of the 90 degrees....but she got to learn all about sockets and fractions and 1/2" and 3/8" drives....lol...test drive seemed to handle better....$500...not to bad

Used DP options
Hello...still investigating used DP's...would like to know about some options I see listed....some have Air conditioners with heat pumps...can you describe how they work and the advantages and disadvantages....leveling jacks...is there a system that shines above the others....I see HWH listed sometimes...what do you think of them?....whats a blue ox tow bar worth and are there different quality levels of those as well....double pane windows....read some posts that say some years and coach builders had trouble with them...what years and what models....single and two piece windshields...is that just astetics?.....fiberglass roofs as opposed to others (rubber I'm assuming) what the upgrade worth?...thank you all for indulging my questions and all the answers I've received....to be continued I'm sure...

RE: Leveling a motor home
I would find a level parking surface somewhere that you can double check with your 4' level....then mount your new stick on levels...I use a small circular bubble level I place on the counter or stove top...then when I'm level I put it back in the drawer...mines only 23' so I can level it pretty close by eye...then just drive it in blocks if it's a little off level...hope this helps
