The Tucson convention weigh-in showed pretty significant problems with my coach. I expected the stretch to be overweight, but was surprised at the ride height and weight imbalance that was found, because I spent many hours in 2016 working on ride height. At that time I had it pretty good, although it was about 1/4" lower all around than the low specification. At Tucson, the fronts were over an inch low at 11 3/8 R and 11 1/4 R. The RR was close at 11 3/4, but the LR was 10 7/8. The side to side balance was way off with 700 pounds heavier at LR, and 400 pounds heavier at LF. I know that bringing the LR up even to the RR height should transfer some weight to the RF. It will be interesting to see how much change there is. I know I am in for another long session of up & down and under the coach!
I have spent quite a bit of time with the manual, but have been unable to find a specification for side to side imbalance. Does anyone know if such a spec exists, and if it does, where I might find it?
We really enjoyed the convention and would really like to thank all involved in planning and executing such a great time with very informative seminars. In particular, thanks to Alex Ferrara & John Sharp who fixed my steering misalignment on such a hot day!
