    Berine, shot me your last 6 digits of the chassis vin number. Ill pm you some prices. We sell baldwin filters here if that ok. We might have a cat fuel and oil but air would be baldwin.

    Thanks
    Matt.

    An unusual event happened on the way to Road Atlanta last week. I had a front tire blow out. Luckily we were in the right lane, going 20mph, and able to get on the shoulder drama free. A minute earlier we were doing 55 so that could have been ugly.
    Anyway since a spare wheel/tire is out of the question on my rig, I had to get roadside tire service. If you have a trailer or RV... I cannot say enough good things about this service: http://www.coach-net.com/ Worth every bit of the $120/yr it costs.

    I was also lucky to be in the Atlanta area, when this happened, and Dean Woodruff & Integrity RV found me a road side tire company to deliver & install some tires. Coachnet paid for the service call & after hour charge & I had to buy the tires. I almost feel like I should mail them some more money since Im paid up for 3yrs at this point. Definitely lost money on me!

    Since this thread has been bumped, what kind of insane-o super RV has Broome settled on?

    Since there is so much attention here...

    Does anybody know where I can pick up a manual primer pump for my C7 so I can do the fuel filter swaps more easily? Or am I just talking crazy...

    Speaking of tire changes,

    Can the leveling jacks suspend the rig high enough to get a wheel off or is that not the way they work?
    Also, my rig has a air connector on the remote panel to get air from the system. Wonder if there is enough PSI to run a impact to remove wheel lugs?

    On top of the filter base do you have a spot for a hand primer? Give me your engine serial number and I can get you a hand primer pump is there is a place to add one to your engine.

    Depends. On mine it wasnt. I probably could have put an 8x8 under the jacks for added clearance in a pinch.
    The roadside guy had 3/4" hose and a hell of an impact driver connected to a pretty stout compressor. Also a couple spoons and an air/hydraulic bottle jack.
    I know the bottle jacks are about $300 each.
    When I saw this guy dismount/install the tire with a couple spoons alongside a busy highway... I kind got angry at the local shops that tried to tell me it costs $65 per wheel for mounting.

    I don't know about rv's but transports have a stupid high amount of tq on their nuts. I doubt you'd be able to use your air supply to get them off.

    Don't doubt the Air Supply. They're responsible for countless "getting off's":clap:

    Sooooo much ammunition in this statement. I'm looking for the beeb to take this far.

    I saw some open doors when I was proof reading but I did not see a reference to "air supply" coming lol.
