    Only slight differences over the Century. Otherwise its just a Century that has been rebranded for the Millenials.
    The Webasto heater is no longer under the bunk. They came standard with an inverter prewired. Fridge area was larger. Some other ammenities. Mirrors on the fenders didnt need 3 legs to stand on

    The nearest shop for me is 50 Mi away. So I noted on my DVR my oil leak and my bad brake chamber and I'm rolling that way.

    Wouldn't you know it two miles south of the pilot is it the open inspection station. They just waved me through because they had so many trucks pulled over. If I make it down here without burning up my differential, I'm pretty sure I'll have used up all of my good luck.

    That's the way it works with me. The minute I put a pair of vise grips on a brake hose and back the brake off to limp to a shop, the DOT will be out like flies on ####. Otherwise, I never get looked at.

    No need to cage them, just back it off until it's not touching the drum, then ride on. A sharp eye in a DOT cruiser or weigh station will spot a caging bolt.

    Oh, and carry flat black spray paint to camouflage your vice grips.

    Got it in. Fluid. Everywhere.

    So far we're lookin at a pinion seal, service and parking brake air lines, abs sensor wire cut, 5th wheel air line for the slider. Guess we'll see if there's anything else.

    They're trying to McGuyver the abs wiring as it ripped off the male plug and that portion isnt available from the dealer. Only the whole harness...at almost 2k.

    It was supposed to be mine but a one hour live load just turned into 4 and still ticking. A Schneider just tried to take my mirror of as well. I have to get the hell out of here whether I get home or not. Shew
