To the best of my knowledge spring is all that’s available from the chassis manufacturers. That’s not to say the house builder doesn’t install something aftermarket.
The only chassis manufacturer that offered it was Paccar (Peterbilt/Kenworth) as an option. Now I’m going back a few years, I will say I’ve never seen one, just saw an option code for it once. Oddly you don’t see a cookie cutter Super C on one of those chassis often, not sure why.

Air ride cab and seat..still beats you up. I wonder how the cab floats independently of the house? Not to mention the house is on the chassis and the front of the cab, 1/2 is not air ride. That has to have a effect in the longevity of the construction and appliances, you would think anyway.

I wondered if giving this up would be worth the switch? Super C front suspension is spring. We considered a super C a few years ago, drove several.

295/75R22.5 is VERY close to the same size. Close enough to run along side of the 275/80R22.5.

Sure sounds like it! He's trying to wake up the forums to keep himself occupied

that's funny! .
"East bound and down" (Jerry Reed) came on once, she looked over and say's "don't even think about speeding up, I see that look in your eye and your twitching" I told her good thing were going south bound, that shoe don't fit good enough to run in it

JUST KIDDING
Seriously, Usually I am on the seek button for a local country station or classic rock, especially if headed south. Up here our country stations are pretty...HORRIBLE!

DW is talking, no reception and I shut it off, we just chat and admire the scenery.

Marthachuck, great reminder!! If you scroll through this section you will quickly see how many don’t do that and usually up with destroyed electrical component. Common occurrence on the Transfer Switch.
Speaking of Transfer switch, did you check that also, I didn’t see it mentioned above?

A week ago we were warmer than Houston_.
I have a 150,000 btu kerosene torpedo heater in the RV garage, so let the wind howl. I work well when temps are 40-50° as long as there is no wind.
UGH, glad you’ve got the heater and shelter. I feel your pain with the weather!

That was one time thing, that bird will never have the guts to dive bomb a MH again.
Shoot, forgot to clean off the dried blood while I had the ladder in position; there is always tomorrow though.
I hope it’s warm where you are!

Wow, that’s an interesting find! Do you have photos?

As puff mentioned, year make and model all played a role in which remote part number was correct for the application. Sadly several looked alike.

Air flowing through the valve or leaking out of the valve?
Any issues with an air flow sound through the valve when you release the parking brake, any erratic gauge movement i.e. needle twitching that doesn't stabilize after a few seconds?

That's a thought!
Perhaps pull it down, cut along the cabinet edge and replace the ceiling in that area with something custom that is more manageable? I saw a coach that someone installed antique looking metal tiles (they weren't metal, it was a recycled composite product) along with window treatments that had a dated look from that era and it looked great. I am sure there are many options available if you think outside of the box and you are a DIY'R.
-
Typically the ceiling is installed before the wall cabinets, that would be a huge undertaking to basically gut everything on both sides to pull that section down. Not that it couldn't be done, but certainly a lot of work

Bob, the last two times I went in PA with friends I was told by the DMV examiner I wasted my time. He explained for RV’s that doesn’t apply, only if you are seeking a Commercial license.
Call that branch of the DMV and ask, make sure they understand it’s a NON-CDL B for an RV. You might need a supervisor as most don’t know such a thing exists. -

Let us know what they say. The last time I saw something like that it was caused by cigarette smoke. It deteriorates the foam backing causing the headliner to drop, now that was on automobiles. I am curious to hear what Winnebago has to say.

Xantrex told me that I would need to replace the RC7GS controller with the new and improved one if I decide to upgrade the unit. We currently have auto Generator start. Great little option to have.
