We have every intentions of this being right.  It sounds like about 13" all the way around would be right loaded.  We tried to even out all the stuff we loaded in it,  but I'm sure it made a difference.  We also added those 10 golf cart batteries and 50amp reel in the back bay so we added some weight on the boogie.  We followed the instructions on the Eagle site. Hope the scales are kind when we weigh it.

Clifford,  Oh dear, hope you are wrong about the 1/2".  Don't want to undo all the manual labor.  It took forever to pull those nuts with that wrench and this thing on the ground.  We dropped the jacks and took the pressure off,  but 1/4 turn per pull on the nut took a while.

If you are down to 10 inches on the rear it will need to be re index on the bogies,I'll be glad to help you this winter it will take us 2 days at the most if the 8 clamp bolts are not seized up and come out easy lol.

I have one MCI coming in Oct and Doyle and his Eagle in Dec or Jan.

How far from the Bullhead AZ area do you live once you adjust to what ever you like they will stay for many miles,Ed is right after a few miles they should have been reset after settlement then you would not be dealing with this problem fwiw the front is not high only higher than the rear 13 inches is about the norm 

I always check the height every 1/2 inch of thread I have had to back those off before that big wrench gets heavy that is why I call on my buddy Van here

good luck

We are about a hour east of Lake Tahoe on I80.  Winter in Arizona?  Is it warm where you are in winter?  We can't plan too far in advance because of 94 year old parents,  but the offer sounds really good.  We would have come home by your way when we bought the bus,  but parents intervened.  We had to make a rush trip home instead of the leasurely trip we had planned on.

Thanks

Where abouts exactly? I spend some time in Fernley and Fallon from the end of August through the middle of September, and then in the spring around the end of April to the beginning of May. We used to call Fernley home, and still get back there a few times a year.
Some are called, some are sent, some just got up and went.

Just outside of Auburn, CA.  About half way between Sacramento and Lake Tahoe.
