"Cat", here, Tito! I have had the bags on several of my 14 different rigs over my 41 years of RVing and gave up on constantly tuning the adjustment settings and found that setting them at 80 to 90 lbs and leaving them there was best overall! On my 38 foot gas Fleetwood Flair, because of the weight and wheelbase, had the onboard compressor with the four gauge/individual gauges and separate control rocker valves which allowed me to tune the suspension for differing road conditions such as the Alcan. My goodness, what a difference it made on those long stints for comfort and driving fatique. On certain sections of roadway, I could tune the rig so well I could actually take my hands off if the wheel and the rig would follow the roadways by itself. Just like trimming my small helicopters flying in the army where I could take hands and feet off the controls and control it just by leaning left to right and front to rear for directional control! Try the compressor/individual wheel control setup! I think you will like it?

@RVwithTito Жыл бұрын

I had the compressor installed on our last rig. It was great making those adjustments from the bluetooth remote. I have a compressor always hooked up now. So checking them periodically is no trouble. Thanks for sharing all of that experience.

@tomschuette6133 2 жыл бұрын

Nice install for you class A. You might want to put in a T union and only have one valve to air up the front and rear. It will make it easier on you to equalize the pressure in both bags. I have rear bags on my F350 to pull my fiver and I installed a Haldex height control valve from Amazon to automatically adjust pressure in the bags based on load conditions. Works like the suspension of Class 8 rigs running down the highway. The down side is you compressor will work more due to up and down in the road and the valve adjusting automatically. Just a thought for a future upgrade. Enjoy your time in Alaska, I was up there 5 years ago and want very much to return.

@RVwithTito 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks Tom for the suggestions. I prefer to manage them individually in case I need to level out a load. On our previous rig I also installed the air-compressor unit that I could control wirelessly from the cockpit. It worked great, but I don't think I really need it. So far manually checking them and making adjustments works fine.

Dude... You need to put some boards or plywood under that jack stand in the gravel. (called Cribbing) Even if you are only using it as a backup for the RV;s jacks. (My RV's jack stands have plates welded between the boottom legs. And I still use cribbing!) The hydraulic jacks fail those jack stand will be driven into the ground so fast you won't be able to crawl out from under it fast enough. And especially if you remove a tire. I've worked with heavy equipment all my working career and seen this happen too many times. Once had to use my boom truck to remove a pickup off a dead guy when his jack stands, s like yours, were driven into the grass in his front yard when his hydraulic floor jack seal let go. Had he jst put a pair of 2x4's under that jack he could have survived.

Thanks. It's been an amazing adventure so far. Yeah "roads" of all kinds. The Top Of The World Highway (Taylor Highway?) also was pretty amazing, but dirty. I also think the new tires I put on made a huge difference. I'm very glad I didn't wait on those and pulled the trigger before heading up.

@rvingwithbearandfriends7506 2 жыл бұрын

It was definitely a good idea for the tires. Nothing up here is impossible or impassable, but go cheap and you definitely roll the dice! I've only seen the Taylor and Over The Top in the winter on a snowmobile trip from Tok to Dawson and back. It was in the -30's going to Dawson. Super cold, but super scenic for sure. I really want to do it in the summer but I think we'd have to take the girlfriend's Class C instead of my travel trailer. The trailer is only good for so much dirt road action. How is your solar performing at this higher latitude with the sun lower in the sky? I just did a 1050 watt install on my rig. I went in knowing that I wouldn't realize the panels full potential not that anyone ever does but figured at best I'd see about 2/3 of that on a clear day if the sun had no obstructions like trees and whatnot. Last weekend on the maiden voyage after install we saw anything between 150 and 350 watts at the campground. It was charging, I was getting 10-20 amps going to the batteries so all was good. Even pulling power during the rain which was also a good test for the waterproofing of 42 holes in a perfectly good roof with a watertight rubber membrane... no leaks... whew! Then we get back to town and clear skies at the storage lot I keep my rig at, over 700 watts and 50 amps going to the batteries. Didn't think I'd actually see that much out of it with the lower sun angles and the panels flat on the roof and not tilted. But I know you put a pretty good solar system on the roof of your Class A and was curious how something I've seen on KZfaq that was setup down in the lower 48 is performing up here and if i was underestimating what I'd see on my rig.

@RVwithTito 2 жыл бұрын

@@rvingwithbearandfriends7506 The solar is doing great. True, I'm not bringing in as much up here. Two thirds sounds about right. The best I've been able to grab is about 1100W out of the 1740 Watts...and that's when flat mounted. They average about 900W even with smoke and cloud cover. I haven't been in a location yet that I felt comfortable tilting the panels. There were a couple times in the Canadian Rockies when I pulled about 1800W for a moment. It's funny, because business that I've seen with solar on the roof have their panels almost vertical :) One difference up here though is that I'm generating solar power almost 20 hours a day. Even at 11PM I'm still brining in 100W and that's pretty nuts.

@rvingwithbearandfriends7506 2 жыл бұрын

@@RVwithTito , That makes me feel good about what I built. I haven't seen much in RV's with a decent sized solar array on them up here. With no local guidance, KZfaq University was a great resource. I figured I'd need more panels to get less power and with our long daylight hours, especially this time of the year, work the solar like a Marathon and not a sprint. Collect power all day not just at peak times and be able to still collect above the parasitic draws during overcast or rainy days and so far, I've achieved that. I used tilt brackets not planning to tilt them unless I'm camping long term in one spot but also for getting to the wiring under them. I liken it to lifting the hood on a car or truck to get in and work. Made running the wires a breeze! I incorporated my 3D printer into the project and also for the battery bank. Something I don't see many content makers do. I just want to thank KZfaqrs like yourself and a number of others in showing that people can do these projects. I didn't copy anyone's work, but rather gather a consensus of many ideas and draw from across a number of installs for what seemed line the best of ideas and pointers or tips and make my own plan. Content makers like you are great to watch, the we're going to try this and make it work mentality but put it out in a way that is easy to follow. I've followed your channel for a while now with my other more nerdy channel subscribed and now this one. Enjoy the rest of your trip through our little state! And keep making the great videos!

I've installed two sets of Air Lift air bags on 2 different rigs. One was a class A motor home the other a F150. Both were pretty easy to install and worked extremely well. I'll be installing them on my new F350 fairly soon. Not really needing them that bad on this truck but sure are nice to take the porpoising out when going over train tracks and wavy roads. I found that 25-35# was all I ever needed. One time took them up to 70# and about jarred all my fillings out! IMHO; the only way to fly!

@@Anonymous-hy8oz Good question. I did consider and look into this potential issue. Per AirLift's FAQ: a vehicle can be lifted by the frame for short term periods (i.e. maintenance or oil changes etc). If the vehicle is lifted for extended periods, then the axle should be supported. This is really a non-issue unless you plan to lift the tires off the ground with your leveling jacks...which you probably shouldn't. If you need to level up that much, it's best to roll the rig up on some boards first.

Hey, Alaska is a good way to destroy a RV did you get your windshield damage yet.? I know RVers who had major suspension work done after trip to ALASKA. Not worth the drive to see wall falls and trees. Vancouver is a better place to visit but is pricey.

I've only had to repair one small chip so far. Fingers crossed.

Oh yes. I have spent lots of time searching for small things that have been dropped in the gravel. Many of them have never been found. Wouldn't we all love a flat piece of property with a barn/shop :)

@@RVwithTito A fellow worker taught me to lay a towel down under where things might be dropped. A large beach towel might do on the gravel, as long as it doesn't get bunched up when shifting around.
