But if it does not sell, I get to keep on enjoying it my self.
Low Miles reman motor, New Carpet and stuff, All new belts and idler pulleys, New Radiator when motor was put in. I put lots of cash into it, fixing the screw up's someone else did on the belts and stuff.Hope to pull the Sleeper floor out this year and put a new one in it. Replace wheel seals and stuff. Replace the AC line that is kincked and slowing down the coolant. And if I can get around to it, paint it back the factory color that is Brown. Paint is faded now and tired but being its from 1987.
Guess its done its job.

Hooking up Excursion tomorrow to the Camper, heading out on Wednesday. Found a cracked toilet valve yesterday that was leaking, had to run to the dealer (60 miles away) for a new one, they are going to try to warranty it but they say it probably froze.
I just installed airbags this weekend, once hooked up I can level the rig out instead of the TV being tail heavy.
Question, with air bags to you level than adjust weight distribution or adjust weight dist then level?

I set up with the bars then add the necessary air to level it out from there.

On a different note, I had a customer come in on Friday who had their Blu Ox weight distributing shank shear off a few inches outboard of the 5/8" pin hole.
They broke it pulling into a nearby gas station, but they didn't bottom out "causing it to break"
Tow vehicle was a Tacoma pulling a 19' Airstream.
Could been real ugly...

I wish I had, I was too busy with the whole Friday before Memorial Day rush to think about it.
I've seen extensions break off but never a weight distribution shank. It was definitely cast steel though.
