Horses or Zebras
#1

Ok, so I have a trip coming up in two weeks so I went up to the coach to work on a few things so that hopefully there is no last minute drama.  Coach always holds air in the rear pretty much indefinitely so when I go to pull coach outside and around the building I get out and look at front mudflaps and they are up so I pull out and around.  

As I cross over a little transition very slowly I noticed it was a little rougher than normal.  Get parked and walk to back of the coach and it’s what I think is on the ground.  I’m stumped as that has yet to happen.  Hadn’t worked on suspension, etc. so the ol what was the last thing you did reminder was not helping.  Had power to solenoids, lowered coach entirely and attempted to air up…didn’t help.

So I call Bill-Net for a little guidance.  We talk through things and try a couple other things.  Then there is this story about zebras and horses and while I think in got the point my mind was all over the place.

So we figure out that it would raise…but only about 1.5 inches.  Bill asks which position the switch is on the dash that puts more weight on the drives and I said I didn’t know as I haven’t ever messed with it and while fiddling with it sure enough it was in the down position which raises tag to put more weight on drives.  I must have bumped it when fiddling with my front shade (different thread for that problem).  

Flipped the switch to the middle/neutral position and sure enough she raised right up.  Really not sure how long that would have taken me to figure out on my own so hopefully this thread will help someone else not make this same silly mistake.
