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 now
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. Now. ...got brakes.
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".
