Hahaha, Yeah, I kinda like the spare mounted under my Monty, although it does get close to the ground. I had looked and considered, on my previous Fleetwood 5er hanging it up front, my dad commented to me not to put anything up front I would hesitate to run over. He's an old Tractor Trailer driver. I have not pulled those valves out but if they are like mine it looks like a standard needle valve...I still would worry about pump overpressure and blowing seals in it just to make slides move slower. Wonder if doing some form of DC circuit current control would be best to manage slide speed, as then it would slow the motor rpm and not mess with restricting fluid flow. At work we have variable current controllers and would be a nice feature to manage drive system...low resistance automated current reduction...higher resistance increase current...and have an upper limit cut off. Sorry, waiting for the day I transform into an Ozz...Kids in college so that's out of the question for a while.
