My new Ramps,

It never fails to amaze me this Grand Villa of mine, I parked the Coach on the ramps, Changed the motors oil, or this

 runny black stuff thats was supposed to be oil, Hahahaha

What a breeze, standing up to drop the sump plug and filters,

Just looking at what is under neath the Coach, Very easy when it 3 feet off the ground, There's all the Tanks, All the

lockers under the coach, Thats what the gear box looks like, The Diff,

and thats the battery bank hanging out of its box and heading for total destruction if it hits the ground, If I dont fix it quick smart,

With out the Ramps, I would never have known unless I was looking in the battery box, Thats a lot of weight hanging in there,

There's lot of things to look at under there,

Replacing the Rear levellor will be a breeze, Its so easy to get too, Sit on a small chair and be comfy,

I can put in the frame for my new gas bottle bank from under the Coach, and standing up as well,

You just dont realize what you miss untill you actually have one, I have wanted a ramp for years,

It makes life so easy, The Jeep just fits on the centre of it, Every thing else fits easily, The Chinese tractor is too skinny,
Cheers,
Brian,

A Pit is really not suitable here, Venomous snakes and spiders would soon be in it, They live here as well,

Its so easy under there now, I even found a short run of steps I can weld on the side to get in the door of the coach,

  See what I mean Brian about my Pit? It makes life soooo easy and I can stand up for everything.
It has already saved thousands in labour cost somewere else and it is nice to know exactly what things look like and condition of them.
I am spending so much time there I may have to put in a microwave and bar so I do not have to come out till supper time!!
