    Purchase Advice

    I was looking in your post for the most important item..PRICE... If price is not a consideration it puts you into a different class than if it does matter.... Anderson Mobile Estates is in the top line IMHO... starting in the 2-3 million dollar range and then you can go to a few of the mom/pop...

    Height/length issues

    Not to be harping on Kingsley.. but... they have a CITY setting on a switch on the dash that increases the pressure on the rear air bag suspension and raises it about 6" at the bumper for rough terrain or driveways.. gotta think ahead though..takes a couple of minutes to air up... and you MUST...

    fl70 suspension

    trowe, I have absolutely no experience but have spent a large part of the last several years studying this and other sites.. the term PING TANK seems to come to mind.. a rigid expansion tank hooked inline with your suspension.. it will not decrease your weight carrying capacity appreciably,but...

    convertable

    Geof, It would allow the improved turning radius when running light or in tight spots and yet allow you to drop it on the open road... raise it for toll booths also... I wondered what kind of boat they were hauling with it. but as I remember SHIP is reserved for one over 100 ft. with the...

    Coach In The Making II - Skinned

    It seems we have a case of the pot and the kettle here... I know Kingsley doesn't let more than three employees on the roof at any time just in case the roof will distort Distort, nothing, they don't want'em falling through! I'm surprised they allow even one guy up there. Their insurance must...

    Burning Kingsley

    Isn't it amazing how things change when identities are out in the open. I have smelled sour grapes from the first post.. I did spend a couple of days in Mn. at the Kingsley plant last wk... the major difference I see in the Kingsley compared to the others that use square tubing framework is...

    Kingsley

    I saw that ad earlier today and had a question for the group... the wheel lift looks like a good answer to a problem --- but --- is there a swivel on the lift so the trailing vehicle can track or is it kind of pushed sideways by the action of the coach? hydraulic lift I would imagine.. could...

    Great look at a M2 Motorhome

    It looks like my old memory seved me well. The old rig was Cummins M11-350E(electronic) the new one is a MBE900-300 7.2L 300 HP@2300 RPM;2500GOV 860 LB/FT @ 1250 RPM with the difference in the wt of the conversion, thechassis,and the engine I bet it will probably be a little quicker than the...
