a_elkins Posted June 14, 2018 Report Share Posted June 14, 2018 Whoops. Thought I'd posted, but I guess not... We're at the Pumpkin Patch RV Resort in Hermon, Maine (just outside Bangor, an hour from Acadia) all summer. Most sites are long pull-throughs and can accommodate our rigs with no problems. Stop in and see us! https://pumpkinpatchrvresort.com -Andrea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think it a good idea to replace the springs in pairs for a couple of reasons . First , they likely came from the same run . One had an unknown defect , causing the failure . Is the other one about to do the same thing ? Second , the bad spring failure put unknown stresses on the still in one piece spring . Are those stresses going cause or add to that spring failing ?

mr. cob Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 Howdy All, In an hour or so Donna and I will start our summer trip, leaving from home in Washington State will be going as far east as Mark Twain Caves in Missouri, then dropping down into Arkansas, then west through the southwestern States before heading back up to the Nor-Wet. I'll pop in now and then to see where other folks are perhaps our trails will cross that of others while on this trip that would be fun.
