I need to replace the frame rails and am considering doing the job myself.
Replacing everything from the front frame back would be ideal but beyond my capabilities.
Section 2 of the maintenance manual is a start but not extremely detailed.
Are there any instructions or checklists available?
People I could discuss with?
I have a new set of rails from Tom Hampton that appear to be much stronger than the originals.
The bogie sub-frame has one rust threw area as well.
The coach has drum brakes in the back with quad air bags.
The passenger side bogie arms will probably need to be straightened as well.
Both fuel tanks have previously been dropped, cleaned, and coated.
I would appreciate any advice for scoping out and preparing for such a project, especially safely raising and supporting the coach to work under it.
thanks!
