me too , me too,
thought about tearing into mine just to see what i could possible do to fix,,, are there any nice exploded views available ????

hey now ray, are you thinkin like one of those 800,000 dollar units that have a big slide out porch,,, that would be perfect to haul the crawler in, next time i'm at BoudriesRV i'll make sure to check the weight rating on the slideout,,,,you might have to spring for the deluxe version,,, a mere 1,30...

i am going to have to get one of those huge semi motorhomes ,, and let my mother drive it,,, she can't see anything, and then pull a trailer too. . i see i am not the only one recognizing this problem,, the state's cash cow of mastadon proportions. .in arizona i've seen various sized trucks with mex...

i am curious as to the guys with heavier crawlers such as 440icd's or 350's and 1010/2010 ,
