Jim, you need to post a picture of them on the coach. Bet they look sharp.

I'll post some pics this weekend. I'll also post some pics of my friends 3010 with ultra chrome rims. My friend also had a really cool rear bumper made that I will post pics of.

Just got back from Monterey. The coach is a bit dirty but here are the rims. The pictures make them look darker than they are. They are painted black on the backside (inside?)

Moved the rig in the driveway and buttoned it up until probably March (depending on El Niño).
Played with the Big Foot Levelers and it was definitely off both ways on auto mode. Had to manually set it side to side and then back to front to get my bubble levels happy. Are there any ways to recalibrate the unit or am I stuck with fine tuning in manual mode after the auto finishes?

If your leveling system is Bigfoot, there's a procedure in the manual for zeroing the x,y,z plane. I don't have mine at the moment, but it's doable.

VWExpert, what did you do about the rear valve stems?

I guess that zeroing in procedure is just for the fully automatic BigFoot levelers and not mine with the Green face plate.

All metal stems that are easy to fill.
