Super Betty Trip 3

[bowmaga]

We had a smooth trip 3 in Super Betty...we may actually keep her now!  We took her up to the Nascar race in Michigan and she "nearly" everyone on the infield bus jealous!!  haha.  The weekend before we took her we managed to get her manual leveling system put on her to hopefully right her tilting unlevelness she has towards her drivers side.  It actually worked!  We put together a system on our own and now can manually add/remove air to the rear bags whenever we want, with the ability to switch back to the normal bus leveling valve system whenever.  Its pretty cool, all adjustable from the drivers seat with gauges to view the adjustments.  We were lucky and was able to use my company's shop that has a 4' deep pit that is 24' long.  That made it nice.  We found that a pinched airline along with having, what seems to be, smaller airbags on the drivers side, could be the major source of the prior unlevelness.  We added an extra 10 tubes of grease to everything, changed her oil and filters, added a bathroom window, fixed some faulty ground wires in the headlight system, and changed the windshield wipers.  13 hours later we were all done....and things worked.  She went down the road level for the first time....probably in years.   Now we only leak fuel, oil, tranny fluid....and a little air, other than that, she's awesome!!  Next on the list will be draining the fuel tank and pulling it to fix that expensive little fuel leak we have.  Always something....just another weekend of work.  I think we'll keep her for a little while longer...the big dog hasn't quite bit us yet....she just kind of chewed on our wallets and our patience for the last 4 months. 

later,

Greg,

Congrats on another trip.  There all good...really...

You should post your leveling system plan and part numbers, pictures.

We love pictures..

Hey, the way I look at is to nibble off one problem at a time and soon it appears that your done.

Thats what I have been doing, and enjoying it along the way.

Enjoy the ride!
