Got here to the Fla keys on Mon to find my (new) 87 Regal on site and ready. I am totally pleased with this thing. (Got it from my new hero, bro-in-law, who maintained everything very well.) A couple new tires (other six are under 2 yrs old) and tag axle work are all that are needed.
Still looking for the TA5 tag axle manual. The airbags on this thing cross to Goodyear 1R9-038 and the shocks are Monroe 555003 FWIW
Love this website. I'm an airplane guy (my other Barth is a 68 Cessna 172) I can see many parallels between coaches and planes, in their construction (I love aluminum!) and their operators. Also see some close matches to marine systems and hardware.
I can see why people love these things. I'll have pics soon.

Congratulations Steve!! There have been several of us looking for the TA5 tag manuel with no luck so far. Here is a discussion we had for the air bags air bags I ordered the IR9-065 because the internal bumper is supposed to be closer to the 025. Not sure which is the better fit. Good luck on your trip back!
