Yes, Pete, that certianly is one way to do a (small) change in ratios.... But
the lower (numerically) the ratio goes, the more power it takes to pull it...
And these coaches, (especially mine), do not have a great abundance of power at
any time..
I can really tell the difference on my Jeep when I switch between the 31" & 35"
tires.
