Finally I get to put a�model and year after my name on this forum!

I just got back from driving my "new" '78 Kingsley�the 800 miles from Traverse City MI, to Washington DC. It didn't miss a beat all the way. Going through the receipts it looks like the coach has less than 65,000 miles and the engine less than 15,000 so it all feels very tight, though inevitably there is a list of things to tinker with - and where would be the fun if there wasn't eh?

One thing, the auto- leveling leaves one side much higher than the other. I can adjust it manually, but it looks like I will have to adjust the lever. Also having listened to the level valves there is a very slight hissing from the little tube on the valve that is not connected to anything on the side that is low, which makes me think�I need a new valve on that side - unless anyone knows of a different fix...?

Also, the level-check unit by the entry door works when you click it to the right (but no light goes on). When you click it to the left, the light�goes on but the�gauges don't respond. Any thoughts?

I've been keeping a blog about finding, buying and running this GMC, and will keep it up to date on the two month trip we are hoping to do in the summer. Its here:

All the best - and thanks for all the help.�I hope I am in a position to give some back at some point.
