[A/S] Re:Subject: Best Years to buy?

["Peter Nault" <pnault5@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

This is Andy Roginski of Inland RV's take on the added gray tank 
theory:  "Rear end separation started about in 1965. Loooong before 
gray tanks. Center baths are not immune to the separation either, 
just not as often.
Very few owners will admit to causing the damage themselves, by not 
having the running gear balanced properly. Therefore, it must be 
someones fault besides theirs.
This subject has gone on and on for my 37 years and will continue to 
do so. However, we continue to rebuild them for those that didn't 
believe, but now do. You can bet that they won't let the separation 
happen again.
The stories continue and the theories continue, the tales continue, 
and the blame on someone else continues on and on, BUT, the fact 
remains, that ANY tire, wheel hub and drum assembly must be in 
reasonable balance. If not, vibration does occur, and usually with 
enough vigor, to cause rear end separation, tire failures, fatigue 
cracks in the frame and shell, broken wires, broken tubing within 
the Air Conditioner, broken LPG lines, underbellies falling off, 
short lived shocks, worn out striker plates and striker bolts, worn 
entrance door hinges, partial ejection of the hinge pins on the two 
hinged doors, water leaks, shearing of interior and exterior rivets, 
punching bulkheads up through the ceiling metal, to just name a few.

But, interesting enough, some still won't believe. Wow, what does it 
take to be convincing????"
