My bad ride height valve

Thanks to all for you input on this matter. Mine is leaning a little to the left, as far as I can tell... When I was driving it, I don't think there was a level road to be had. What I experienced was that it suddenly got very bumpy on the road. It was like driving down a washboard road with very big washboards. No noise like I broke a shock, just that really bumpy action. If it is a valve, our friend "Kevin" told me I needed to have one in the coach just incase something like this happens and sure enough it happened and I did get one from him.. He only gives great advice...
Happy traveling to all

Dave:

One problem which may occur is misalignment to the drive shaft.
That happened to me at 60 MPH . The rear was making much noise.
Fortunately we had just learned about removing the 7.5 amp fuse and pulled off the road re leveled the coach and drove home from Arkansas to Baltimore after which I replaced the ride height valve.

Sounds like you may have a broken stablilizer bracket. That happened to us last Fall and it was a really rough ride. We have been told the brackets break often and it is a good idea to carry spares. New bracket installed and the coach rides better than ever.
