  1. Steve, I guess I am Lucky. I ordered my kit on Tuesday April 8, and FedEx delivered it the following Sunday! I did install the kit myself using basic hand tools. It took about a day and a half. The instructions, while complete, are written for someone who does this type of work for a living, in my opinion. The front is the hardest, and I tackled it first. It is not necessary to remove any of the wheels, although you do get into some tight spaces. I am 64 years old and about 6' tall and 190 Lbs. Too much larger and I might have had some issues. Good jack stands are a must. For the most part, I used the leveling jacks in addition to jack stands; however, the ping tank mounting required me to raise the front jack and rely on the jack stands. I did have some self induced problems that probably cost me 1/2 of a day on the install. All due to the routing of the air lines to include the ping tank. Please be aware, some RR4's had two leveling valves on the front rather than one, mine included. This is where my self induced issue happened. If you are reasonably mechanically inclined, this is a job you can do. My only expense was buy a heavy duty air impact wrench to replace a worn out one. A small price compared to the $3,000 I was quoted for a kit install. This kit vastly improved the ride and handling of my coach. Good luck on yours, it is worth the price.
  2. I am hoping somebody in the community can help. I have two switches mounted side by side in the bathroom. One operates the lights overhead and over the vanity. The other, I have no idea. It is attached to something, because the lights flicker like a load is being activated; however, I can't find anything that changes when this switch is activated. The owner's manual does not have a full switch call out, so I am stumped. Any suggestions??
  3. Ron, I am not going to be any help to you on this, and I am sorry. My 2009 Cayman also needs this part, but I have not been able to locate it on the R/V. Will you tell me where yours is mounted? Thanks,
  4. Has anyone had this kit put on their 4 bag roadmaster chassis? I know my shock are shot, but I am wondering if the extra money for new bags and a ping tank are worth it. Also, I am considering a self install if I do buy the kit. Any thoughts?
  5. Thanks for all of the feed back. Should have stated that the barn also has heat.
  6. Thanks! I was not aware the bay heater was 12V only. I live in Oklahoma, and the climate requires only limited use of the bay heater in the winter. I just raised my barn door, so future storage will be in an insulated barn.
  7. Hi all! I am a newby here and this is my first post. My question is this, is 120 V shore power enough when storing my '09 Cayman to keep the batteries alive and power the bay heater? I can run a dedicated 30A or 50A for this, but it seems like overkill.
