After you air it up, shut it down and turn on the leveling system. It should then crouch lower. Then raise it with the
jacks and once level, retract the jacks. If they don't retract, or take a really long time then the jacks need to be
replaced. Then start the engine and see if it airs the bags up again. On ours I need to move it a few inches for the
bags to reinflate.

Good advice on the fuel filters. I always carry a spare.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

I bought this RV today.
https://www.rvtrader.com/listing/2003-N ... 5017892585

I’m amazed at how clean it is. Used but not abused in any way. The tires have lots of tread however a close inspection shows cracking. They will need to be replaced. The light bulbs put off a lot of heat and will be replaced with LEDs. The headlights are dull and need polishing and that is about it.

Congrats. That looks like a nice coach. It will be comfortable too.
Yeah, don't take a chance on tires. It can be costly.
If you join the FMCA, Family Motor Coach Assn., you can get a big discount on Michelins. Too me
they're still not worth it. I'm currently running Yokahama's, but what I would do is find out what the
truckers are running. Go to a truck shop and buy them there. That's what I did.

I was thinking of Michelins. A truck stop is a good idea. Im going to check with Les Schwann Tires first.

On our last motorhome I blew two Michelins and replaced them with all Goodyear RV tires. They were just fine.
Where are you heading first?
