We took our 26 from LA to Seacliff State Park (just below Santa Cruz) for a week.

It ran perfect on the way up. We are usually towing a trailer with bikes or sand cars, so with nothing on the back, a 3.70 final and a much worked on motor, it flys.

Some minor issues upon arrival. The refer, for example, had rust flakes on the burner that had to be cleaned out to work properly. All in all a good trouble free week.

The return was great. Down 101. Accelerated up hills, even with AC on (yes, it was hot outside)

One block from the the left turn to home and BANG and the left front side of the coach settled down a bit.

I nursed it home. No suspension action on the left front, everything ok on the right. I jacked it up, no visible (to my untrained eye) damage, shock not broken etc.

Can a torsion bar unload? That is kind of what it felt like. Thoughts? Opinions? Guesses? It sits lower and does not bounce on the left side.

I will ask Miguel to fix it, but can't raise him on cell today (good for him!)and would welcome any ideas.

Also - while camped for 6 days at Seacliff I got no less than 4 and as many as 6 inquiries a day about the GMC from the "what is it" to the "I always wanted one..."

Thanks to all

Neil
