Thank you Richard! You have a better memory than me! I think I found most of the locations you suggest…
For lifting the wheels off the ground - put jack stands (1 or 2?) under the middle section of the coach (this seems ‘tippy’ to me)… or should I get two hydraulic jacks, put one under each a-arm near the shock, like you suggested, and then a jack stands in the middle. That way I can lift up each wheel with a jack under each one for support (or maybe use the other stand for the opposite shock/wheel…
I followed the steel tubing like you suggested but not sure if it is correct - it is the 2 pictures with all the arrows on it leading to basically the same square box I was using before… maybe I didn’t see what I was supposed to… as you know, I’m not great at following directions but I did read what you wrote several times…
I have to wait until tomorrow to get the coach turned around in the barn so I can pull the genset out. That requires either buying enough antifreeze or water to make the DDEC system happy enough to not show mean lights on the dash… I’m watching the engine temp very closely also…
Pictures loaded out of order - 3 and 4 should be reversed
