Re: [A/S] IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION FOR 390-395-396 MOTORHOMEOWNERS
Jack,
MANY motorhomes have an overloaded LF tire, especially if they have
air suspension. The rear automatically levels the coach F/R, then the
front levels it side-to-side. If the water tank (LH side, usually) is
full, the front has to do a lot of work, all on the LH tire, to get it
level. Instant overload! (this is from the A-W-W-G folks)
A/S has a pretty good suspension system, except for the fact that
individual wheels or one axle can carry more load than it should. A
conventional suspension gives you pretty much equal loads on all wheels.
Because of the way the A/S suspension works, it's imperative that the
coach be level when towing.
