It's been 2 weeks, since we last had contact by OP...I guess he found what he was looking for! If you compare living space, between a 34' DP Class A and a 45' Super C...it's about the same...reason is you lose about 7' for the front engine & most of the big C's have 2 or 3 slides, some have none! Road manners on a tag axle C is hands down better! Engine noise is also a factor to consider. Since the OP's coach has full air ride on a Freightliner chassis, I wonder about his load weight, tire inflation, alignment, toe in & cambers...perhaps all he needs is Safe-T-Steer!

Nothing beats the 6' x 6' shower and extra large Jacuzzi in both our S&B homes!

I have the same from Spartan! Cummins also!

Witch brings up the point about 10.5 to 14.0 inch wide tires that all OTR's in Europe and Russia use! They are not slipping and sliding in the snow or rain...they are designed for 2 tires per drive axle (one on each side). Buses run them also. I have in the past year, seen them here! I suspect we will be running 4-6 tires on coaches here, instead off 6-8, in the near future! IMO. I ran 295's on all my 8 tires, then 315 steer & 295's and now I have all 315's BF Goodrich by Michelin at 2/3 the cost. No problem in over 11,000 miles in 8 months! 3 of the months was in NE coast and all maritime provident's Canada...they got some bad roads there!!!

Not a link!

pjbrau. Welcome to the Forum! Since this Post is 8 years old...scroll back if you have the same problem, on whatever you have! Make of coach, model, year would be helpful.

You have some interesting info in your files....never boring & I learned something new today! For that, thank you!

They don't like 45+'. Shenanigans will take any size rig! Easy in/out and close to town...good rates.

On Aztec Blvd. in Mexico City, across from the Shriners Hospital & Burn Center, is the Bull **** Arena, that was enough for me, 2005!

I get 90%+ on Sirus, Bluesvill, Willie Nelson, some trucking songs, Glen Miller, Best of Big Band, Rock...way to many to list, from 1971 to 1986 I was the owner of European Production, we interchanged groups with Hamilton Production of LA, CA. and Zapata Production of Germany. DB, is this "Cabin Fever" season? 😂

Ray, he might have been lucky, bad valve.

CharlielAm, you are correct..in regards to a shop of your choice. It's the "to my house" part, that I was referring to. I have had 2 tows in 53 years, blown tranny and engine fire! Both times with GS.

I very seldom run the heat pump on my roof AC unit. If I know it will be in the high 40's, I turn on Aqua Hot on the elect side...below the high 40's, diesel side! Last summer, in the Eastern Providence of Canada, mid June to mid August, we ran AH every night on diesel as most mornings was in mid 30's, one night was 27!!! St. Anthony, Newfoundland.

Yep. Like any kind of leak in your system, can be a bear to track down!

poohbear. Sorry, but I don't know off any RA that would pay you!

IMHO, unless your in heavy water traffic or Blue water racing, there is no comparison to driving a big DP coach...in a coach you have to be on your game all the time. There are too many variables coming at you and around you, to slack off, is an invitation to disaster!

Death Valley in the winter is milder than you expect.... summer is when you can expect 110+ days and 30 or less nights! Cat's hang 10, now that is a vision! 😂

Bill, if you find that engine, let me know! The 425 gets 1,550 torque...the 450 is 1,450 and the 500 is 1,550! The M11 evolved into the ISM & it was built up to 2010. Mine is the 2009, 425 HP!

As Brett said! What part did you not understand? Think it's "Time out", time!

Factor, DD60, 515 is a good engine. So is the Cummins 500 ISL. Don't worry or be impressed by HP & 100 Ft. Lbs, bigger the HP=$ at pump. Also, a 525 will get to max torque about 10 seconds before the 500.

Idowning. Welcome. According to Sprint..did they offer a solution? Or are you looking for a new carrier?

Sorry, but I'm a "Go LSU Tigre" fan! Spent a year there 1969. I will admit, Clemson is the gold standard to beat...has been for a long time!

The FMCA, magazine, January issue, has info on all Toads that can be towed for 2020 models! I also would call manufacturer tech. As for tow bar & braking systems, any will do! They are all the best, kind of like asking, "What's the best ice cream?" Everybody has their own opinion!

You said that you had bubbles in other area, that didn't show in these pictures. I would have everything looked at, sounds like you have more than one small leak...There are several choices depending on where you live or currently are. I would not attempt this myself, so I would either take my coach to RV Repair, Houston, Texas or the Manufacturer!

Once the brake is set, there should be no sound of air! If there is, then you have a leak in your system and it may/or not be a valve...I had a broke L in my gauge, after finding and replacing the plastic L with a SS L, no more problems!
