Rats

'Out here in the sunny California Desert where I reside we have what are often called ‘tree rats’. Of course they have finally found a way into the Safari. They are in the main compartment which has 2 doors on the passenger side and if you remove the inside partitions they tanks are there. On the dr...

Re: Koni Schocks

'I’m going to get new front shocks. The rear seem fine. The shocks I have in the front do not stop porpoise effect. That’s why I started digging into this. The best deal currently seems to be Ultra RV. $140.71 each Very weird I never got an email with John’s reply. Just was going to ask another ques...

Koni Schocks

' Have been very busy finishing some remodeling in the house. But as summer approaches it’s time to get back to the Safari. More time should be available as in 9 days I will be retired from 35 years as a Shop Teacher. And 10 years in industry. I’m looking at my shocks and they are Koni. But appear t...

Re: Rear view camera-recommended brand/model

'I replaced mine with a Tadi Brothers setup. Although the product works well I found them to be very poor about customer service. First they lied that the product was shipped. Then tried to blame UPS. It was finally shipped and arrived a few days later. The setup had the wrong cable to camera adapte...

Re: Align steering wheel

'Duane,

Thanks for that info. Finally got my “truckers gauge” so I could get to all valves. I found that everything is 110 pounds. But the one low dual.

This weekend I’ll hopefully get the Safari around to the front of my house to where my compressor is.

Re: Align steering wheel

'Duane,

I noted in a previous post that you have Samson tires. Did you find a pressure chart for them? And what pressures are you running?

Thanks,

Re: Align steering wheel

'I was able to easily center the steering wheel by adjusting the drag link. I had no trouble turning the draglink. It does have a bow in it which it is on the down side it appears that provides more clearance rom other parts. I then went to adjust tire pressure and learned a lesson. My normal tire p...

Re: Align steering wheel

'Just to clarify, I have a Magnum chassis with the velvet ride torsion bar suspension.

Does anyone have the correct alignment specs for my coach?

I will be checking tire pressure and adjusting that steering wheel this weekend.

Thanks,

Mark'

Re: Align steering wheel

'First of all, I want to thank everyone for the response on my question. I had extreme difficulty getting anyone to do this alignment and set the ride height. I would have done the ride height myself if I had a flat piece of concrete long enough to put the Sahara on so I could do the ride height cor...

Align steering wheel

'Just set my ride height and had front end aligned. Now my steering wheel is way off. I spoke to the shop and they said that the steering wheel would have to be removed to get it back centered. I have removed several steering wheels in my day. But this leads to 2 questions: 1. Is the shop correct. L...
