That looks a little shorter than 140 feet!! ? GLWS

Did this ever sell?

Well, I don’t have a vehicle this applies to, yet, but maintaining the system will happen. I don’t know many people with vehicles heavily reliant on air, to operate at least the brakes, that don’t have to wait for the air system to reach pressure before being able to move. Always better to...

Any updates on this subject? Phil

That is something I didn’t even think of. I suppose you could always use a 12/24V compressor and charge the system? Thanks for bringing that up. I will have to look into that more.

I have been stuck with a burned out starter, and an auto transmission, and had to be towed home. I didn’t mean to imply the bump-starting was doable with an auto but, rather, with a manual trans. I am just going to have to try and find a few and try them out

I have not. Driven a 404, 1300 and a 17XX, and they were OK, but it sure is nice driving an auto. Certainly an advantage to the manual (especially if you need to bump-start and you are alone!). Hoping for a few suggestions, then I will try to find the potential vehicles and try them out.

I do like MB. I am not exactly set on a budget, but I am also not unlimited in funds. I suppose that it would all depend on what is available. I guess I just need a little help identifying potential candidates, then I can decide how much is too much. I seem to recall a recent post of a U500...

Does anyone here have an Expedition Vehicle with an automatic transmission? I COULD drive any truck with a manual transmission, but my knees would thank me for an automatic! Thank you for ANY suggestions/info. Thanks, Phil

I have a really nice Air Top, by Autohome, which I had imported a few years ago. It was about $3,600.00 +/- new. Used only about 5 or 6 times. It has spent about a year on a vehicle/trailer (not continuously), and the rest of the time in a garage. It is in nearly new condition. My plans have...
