Came home last week after being out on the road for 3 weeks. The roads
in New Jersey beat the hell out of ANNIE. ChuckB helped keep her together
long enough to get her home. Turns out things were looked into.

1/ The hi strength adjusting bolt for the torsion bar was stripped and
Chuck was able to raise the front end 3 1/2 inches with a good used
bolt and nut. Turns out Chuck was right, the torsion bar was worn out and
replaced at the COOP.

2/ My brakes sucked on that trip. Chuck seconded that. Turns out the reason
was the hard brake lines had a too large ID. Means after a few uses of the
brake
pedal the pedal had to almost bottom out. I just was used to it after 13
years.
Got new lines in the right size from the COOP.

Lessons learned: With a 43 year old motorhome, don't believe anything that
the PO
or his PO did or had done was done correctly. "Trust but verify".
