I can blame the error on being on vacation, beer, wine and since this is Oregon I may have been visiting those little shops with green crosses in front of them.



In the end. Probably just age.

I'm heartbroken that it wasn't a Dynasty. Oh well, a good report none the less.

Enjoy the rest of your vacation.

Thank you all for getting these two really important threads made into a Sticky.

There is just no way we can let these two priceless threads slip into the abyss of old posts. That would just be wrong!

Hi guys,
I am interested in getting a set of Van's X braces for my 2008 HR Rambler Endeavor with the RR8R chassis. I don't have the knowledge to put together a set on my own and was wondering if I can buy a set and have them shipped out to me?
I would need a set that I could bolt on with no welding required. Too bad I'm clear across the country from you guys...

After thinking about this, I guess I should PM Van and ask him about this?

Thanks. Brian.

I got my front Watts Link built and installed a couple of days ago. Yesterday I did a 100 mile drive but conditions were very good so didn't get a good test.

Fascisnating discussion, We're looking at a 2010 42' diplomat skq; Roadmaster 10 tag axle chassis, 425 cummins. Would you expect the MH to have handling problems like you describe or are these issues more common on non-tag axle? Would you expect to see the better TRW steering box on a 2010?
Thanks!

Bill take a look and see for yourself if it has a TRW or a Shepard steering box. Sanford

To Private Message someone, left click on their user name. PM is one of the options that come up.

Is this meeting in QZ open to the traveling public? If open, may I ask it's location and exact date.

I put koni's on the front and was going to do the same on the rear. Should I be thinking about Bilsteins instead...can I mix?
