    Seattle Area

    Advise on pressure for Firestone Air Bags

    I talked to the factory technician and he said there is no magic chart or formula. He said to make the truck level and then attach the trailer. Afterward increase the air pressure to maybe sixty or 70 lbs and back down as necessary. Too soft a ride will create more bounce he said. So maybe...

    We had a local mobile rv repairman look at the problem. There is a plastic nut that jammed at the top of the spiral pole. He loosened the nut, freed the plastic piece and all is well. Best to not run the tv up to high and avoid the problem.

    Axle Alignment due to tire wear?

    Took the trailer to a shop in Salt Lake City called Alignment Specialists. They do motorhomes and trailers as well as big semi's. They were terrific and for 80 per axle it was well worth the investment. All my tires were going different directions. They reviewed a printout of the before and...

    Dual pane windows BH 3610

    I wish we had added the dual pane windows option on our 3610RE. Our dealer said the extra weight and problems with seals failing wasnt worth it and he was wrong. Many times the dual panes would have helped with weather issues.
