Koni shock adjustment on LXi's
David,

Thanks to your good advice, my coach is a lot calmer now. It hardly
porpoises at all.

The Diesel mechanic who worked on it did not remove any of the wheels but
said he spent 4 hours labor reaching, adjusting and reopening all six
shocks. He had to use a hydraulic pull and chain to pull them back up. He
turned the fronts one whole turn to full firm. He turned the four rear
shocks to about 3/4 firm..and we also tightened the air valves to firm up
the ISRI drivers seat.
That also made a big difference.

Your advice on Leather CPR was also good. I got a jar at Bed, Bath and
Beyond. It's not a miracle, but it certainly helped mask the hairline
cracks and color variations in the leather and gave it a nice bronze glow
without being greasy. Instead of using the sponge-applicator, I switched to
a shoe brush and got deeper and more even application. The wide shoe brush
was also easier to hold and covered a lot more territory in less time. I
buffed with a terrycloth towell which generates more heat than microfiber
for better buffing results.
