be affected. If you own a greyhawk or redhawk motorhome I strongly suggest you inspect your hellwig springs adjustment. I have attached photos of an incorrectly adjusted spring and a correctly adjusted spring. If the springs are not correctly adjusted the spring shackle can fail due to the bolts stripping the threads. Given the weight of the unit the hellwig helper springs should be adjusted so there is approximately 3/4" - 1" of distance to the factory springs. *Tr
I purchased six nexen tires over a year ago for my jayhawk camper. Three weeks ago I took a trip to ashville nc and during the trip two of the back tires --one on each side of the rv developed ridges down the center of the tire and came apart. I took the tires back to where they were purchased and was told they would only give me $75 for one of the tires because one had been driven while flat. I asked that they all be replace as they could be defective and was told no. *Tr

the generator is operating. The most significant time of carbon monoxide entry appears to be when the temperature is below 40 degrees and between 11:00 p.M. Through 6:00 a.M. (Mountain daylight time). Camping world testing is not being conducted under similar operating conditions (time and temperature) and is not using additional carbon monoxide monitoring equipment to test or detect the levels of carbon monoxide inside the vehicle and that is why their testing does not show the presence of carbon monoxide. I was told that they have run the generator for long periods of time and waited for the carbon monoxide detector alarm to sound. We have become ill on several occasions while using this vehicle with the generator running, so I no longer use the generator while sleeping, as the carbon monoxide detector alarm activates. *Tr
