Do I really need to block up my bus???

[Chopper Scott]

Same here Tony. On my 7 other than under the axles their is not any place that would support the bus very well. I can get under mine with the bags empty sans creeper. Later

Guys get an Eagle the only thing we worry about is it rusting and falling on us according to some. Even then if the wheels are off the ground I use a jack stand when raised with the leveling jacks.   

good luck

I block the bus regardless of how long or short of time I will be under there.

It only takes a few extra minutes.

It may not be the perfect support, but it may give me the extra second(s) to get out should a major failure occur.

Also see: seatbelts, airbags, motorcyle helmets, eye protection, gloves, safety shields and other useless items....

Thanks Jack. I gotcha . I kinda like living right now .

Thanks for all of the advice and input. Good point on the other safety stuff. I always wear a seat belt...

God bless,

John

To Cliff and Jack, very well said and to the point!  As a person that had great difficulty with Airforce survival schools for aircrew members because of claustrophobia I get the creeps when under the bus with all jacking points firmly blocked.  A experience with a large aircraft tire also makes Me very nervous when filling bus tires as they are a bomb just waiting to get the careless.  Regards John

I am reminded of the old man at the checkout line with his grandaughter...he saw a keychain with 'WWJD' and ask the grandaughter what that meant?  She said, "What would Jesus do?" 
He said, "I don't think Jesus would pay $10.00 for that keychain!"

First off BLOCK the bus!

Second off you don't have to completely block all corners of the bus if just going under for a quick look or adjustment say in a rest area or roadside incident. Just the corner you will be under!

Third off everybody mentions it is unlikely that both dual drive tires would blow at the same time. Well from experience as a tow truck operator and many yrs OTR driving experiences I can assure you that your right they don't!
What usually happens is one or the other goes flat unnoticed and then the other blows from the extra heat & load! (sometimes while someone is checking it out!)

Be safe, stick around and enjoy life a little longer!   BK 

By the way Jesus would call St. Pete to crawl under it and look it over or fix it while he held it up! 
LOL!

That depends on whether you really need to keep breathing.

Not blocking up a vehicle that is supported by airbags, then getting under it, is about as stupid a thing as you can do.

You're right, Jesus would not because He created and provided all things of the earth, air, water and the universe so that man can make any thing from them.
