I'm confident that engineers somewhere are looking at coming out with a package for Disc brakes. I have to wonder whether or not the engineers are having fits trying to figure out how to off-set that...

We travel 54 - a lot of two lane, I'll say truck traffic is light to moderate. We normally leave Manhattan KS with a full tank, fill up again in Guymon OK and that gets us to Tucumcari with good...

Sorry - late to the session but wanted to add to make sure you chock your wheels so that your coach can't slip forward on the slope. Good to chock the wheels anyway but especially when you are not...

I forget who it is but one of our members installed the full Kellerman air system on their F450. Tried to search for it but came up with nothing right now but still trying.
