Service on my 1989

On my first service of my '89 I was able to spend about 30 minutes or so under her with the mechanics. Wow what a great feeling to have the mechanics all coming over to show one another under my MH. This shop builds special order semi-trucks for hauling gravel trains. They where so impressed at how well built FT made this MH. One of them said they have had many SOB in their shop for work and none were as we'll build tad this one. It sure made me feel good to re-assured at what I had already known that FT makes great quality MH.

If any of you get the chance to spend some time in a garage pit under you FT do it. I know most run of the mill shops won't let you but I was lucky and I happen to be freinds with the owner. I learned so much by having easy access to everything underneath. I also found a few little things to fix that I could not see from sliding under the coach.
