Ride Height
« on: March 08, 2012, 10:31:21 PM »
All,

I have a 2005 Beaver Monterey Huntington IV.  I need to check my ride height.  Does anyone have the specs for the proper height and where do I measure.?  My neighbor with a Country Coach measures his at the shock absorber.  I thought I remember seeing something years ago about measuring between the air bag attachments.

thanks,
Dennis

With the coach set at Travel Mode, measure between the top and bottom plates that each air bag is mounted to.  Our '06 Monterey is 10 inches, for example, so it's probably about the same for your '05, Dennis.

When you are working with ride height please be EXTREMELY CAREFUL as adjusting the rods can result in sudden pressure loss in the air bags resulting in a lowering of the coach body. I think you have a half inch to work with.
