Hendersons Line Up

The placard in the left front bay recommends 100 front 90 drive 90 tag
I'm running 105 front 100 drive 100 tag it works well but I'm still
playing with it.
Michelin has a listing on their web site on how to weigh your coach
and recommended tire pressures, but I haven't found a scale that I
can weigh each side on, for each tire. So I'm really just guessing at
this point.
My body # is F111988 not sure of date of birth but I know BB's record
from this vintage are spotty.
I am sure that the shock mount was factory original I'll try to post
some pictures. It sounds as though they are similar in construction.
I do know that some changes were made from coach to coach. Different
equipment and such.
I've never seen a BB publication of the 42 with my interior in it.
They really are one of kind. Built by hand one at a time
My coach lived in S. FLA. For many years and I attribute that to some
of her problems. Like dry rotten air bags. And some minor skin cancer
bubbling up here and there. But overall she's in good shape
considering. Also I can't pinpoint it but I'm either the third or
forth owner. So who know how well the other owners treated her.
Update on today's trails and tribulations: I got the Brake Air Spring
out from under the axel. It appears that the top bolt came off and
when I cranked her this morning she blew off either when I took off
the parking brakes or when I stepped on the brake peddle. Then
backing over it didn't much. I had to block up the frame and all, I
really don't like getting under my coach. It's TOAST! Called around
to find someone to get me new one and wouldn't you know it OBSOLETE
PART! Replacement # MJS 3028ET051 from original mfg. MGM original #
MGM MAG. 4131184 the cheapest so far has been $289.00 plus shipping.
By the way because they are different air spring you have to replace
both sides. Oh joy! The also have to be fitted they don't just bolt
on. The actuator rod has to be cut to length and threaded for the
yoke. Can you say CHACHING!$$$$$$. The blessing of being broke down
in the driveway is also gone. Now I have to get her to a shop,
because no one will fix her where she is. So the question now is to
tow or to drive. Official response is towing it.
Unofficial response is don't get pulled over by the constable.
