Re: new roadtrek-video put up 5/8-summer?

no, visitors can wear regular civilian clothing - anything they want. the tie-dye is for the design consultants. the hard-wired touch screen is nothing new to Class B design, but there are things -...

Re: Full-timing in a Class B Van

yes, the guy who runs it is Jim O'Briant and he's out of Gilroy, CA. it's a $25 a year subscription. Jim offers incentives for folks to update info on his 10,000 sites listed nationwide by extending...

Re: Full-timing in a Class B Van

well, i got kicked out of a Louisiana rest area, but i told them i'd been kicked out of better places. i was on the truck side, not the car/RV side, so it was really my fault. i use Jim O'Briant's...

Re: Full-timing in a Class B Van

no, i screwed up the figures. $10k was what i spent for everything, including laptops, Pioneer GPS unit, suspension, interior mods, plus the solar and wind turbine. that figure sticks in my mind...

Re: Photog's Lifted Suspension 2009 Roadtrek 190V

mine? yes, they're aluminum. they're the american racing ones that came on the unit from the factory - unusual in that they're 16x8, but still zero offset like most of the AR23s Roadtrek used. the AR...

Re: Photog's Lifted Suspension 2009 Roadtrek 190V

looks great, rob - the ride height is maybe an inch higher than mine (probably because you're not loaded to the gills like mine is). check back on page 20 of this post for a comparison photo. those...

Re: Photog's Lifted Suspension 2009 Roadtrek 190V

i think you'll be very happy with the difference, especially if you do it all at once. you'll get this monster truck feeling from the height and stiffness, and you have to resist the urge to start...

Re: Photog's Lifted Suspension 2009 Roadtrek 190V

i have never noticed the shocks topping out while driving - let's face it, we're not likely to (voluntarily) unload the front end to the point that we hit full extension. i gave up ski jumping in my...

Re: Photog's Lifted Suspension 2009 Roadtrek 190V

if i had to do it over again i'd get the right shock. i think the 2003 and later shock is designed to serve as a stop and limit downward suspension travel. we went around and around on this on the...

Re: Photog's Lifted Suspension 2009 Roadtrek 190V

peteco:

it was easy - i bought the wrong shock. the 2480 shocks are for the 2002 and earlier front ends, and have all kinds of extra length on the end on the shaft. i just got a bunch of flat...

Re: Photog's Lifted Suspension 2009 Roadtrek 190V

Re: Photog's Lifted Suspension 2009 Roadtrek 190V

i am at maximum overall weight with full tanks - 9600 pounds. the individual limits for both front and rear axles are higher - 4300 front, as you said, and 6084 rear (exactly double the tires' 3042...

Re: Photog's Lifted Suspension 2009 Roadtrek 190V

rob:

remember, i am running maximum weight - 3800 on the front axle and 5800 on the back. you are probably a lot lighter, especially in the back. when i ordered the tuftruk springs a year or so...
