Well B so true.
But here's the "kicker"
The owners manual for the distribution center is a proggresive dynamics manual for a 45 amp converter, mine is a 60 amp.
Downloading a 60 amp distribution center today to put with the paper work.
Only manual I couldn't find was for the convection microwave.
Downloading it to I guess.

Oh and there was no forest river owners manual, which is worthless anyway.[emoji12]

The JT Strongarms that we had installed at Goshen are phenomenal.

I just have to figure out how to use the 4 point auto level "which is phenomenal" and the jt's together.

According to the instructions on the jt's you should lower front by an inch then tighten the strongarms then raise unit by an inch to level.

Thanks Turbs - it just keeps getting better for you. Don't be surprised if FR sends you a bill for these upgrades you got and not charged for.

Yep - you're not missing anything by not having a FR manual.

Guess I'm having a bad football Sunday - my beloved 49'ers are 1 and 4,but on the other hand,the Cowgirls are 2 and 3.

The Jets are spanking the Redskins right now - 34 to 13.

Sounds backwards. I do it just the opposite, raise it about 1/2", tighten the stabilizers and then lower to take all slack out of everything.

You will find most times when an upgrade is done it cost more to change the manual than what it's worth. I've run into this a lot and no big deal. You find things by what Turbs did. Later RJD

Thanks Glenn. I try, been a long time since I owned a chicken and rib restaurant.

Back to Turbs problems.

I was in a C Class Columbus on the weekend with JTs and 6 point hydraulic. Didn't seem to wobble too much. No JT's at all.
