Back on the Road: Getting Ready for the Newell Coach Factory Trip! (Finish Air Bags, Other Stuff)

What happens here

Perform a final road test of the RV and head to the truck stop for fueling. The RV is driven at night for a test run to confirm that all repairs, especially those related to the air ride system, are functioning correctly. The ride quality is assessed to ensure the RV no longer sags or leans, indicating a successful repair. Following the test drive, the RV is driven to a truck stop, specifically a Blue Beacon, to be fueled up with diesel, cleaned, and made ready for the upcoming journey.

Goal: Verify repairs and prepare RV for travel

Tools and materials

  • RV — The main vehicle being tested and prepared
  • Diesel Fuel — Fueling the RV for the trip
