No, its not the missis this time but while on a little test drive the other day I noticed a bit of a whine from the transmission so today I crawled under the RV to check the oils,,,,,, diff was fine, gearbox empty !. It must have lost it all when I pulled it from the sierra and I hadn't realised. I put in a litre of halfords gear oil in and will try it out again on saturday. Also on saturday I'l get it tracked and calibrate the speedo and have a jolly good time,,,,,,,,,,hopefully

The steering is a tad heavy when stopped but once moving its fine even with a small steering wheel.

Gary Eagle Addict I need to get the RV out from under its cover more Posts: 1,252	whining Apr 28, 2012 22:05:37 GMT Quote Select Post Deselect Post Link to Post Member Give Gift Back to Top Post by Gary on Apr 28, 2012 22:05:37 GMT Had a small steering wheel in mine to start but difficult to drive at low speed so also I used the old Cortina one. Never got mine covered though. Nice idea
	It will withstand a dip in a ditch at 50 m.p.h but it hurts at the bottom, The engine's been out for a rebuild so let's have some fun. eaglecarclub.proboards.com/thread/184/rv-rebuild
