Yes my 8v is marine white! Makes it real easy to check for oil leaks and trace where they originated! As for reference to "snail trails"? That's what was determined that caused the squiggley tracks on numerous areas of the front section! They say the oil from their body is like acid, well it is because it took the clear coat all the way down to the paint. Did the air bags fix my problem? Not sure yet but it DOES stay up like it never did before and it's been two days and the gauge still says 125 lbs.. Using it will tell for the facts! | ||

Marvin, when you get love bugs on the front, just take a drier sheet like Bounce and slightly wet it and they will come right off! No hard elbow grease needed! | ||

Don't have a garden so that wasn't the problem but it's true there are snails or whatever they are down here and have been seen on the pavement or concrete! None the less, one or more found their way on the front of my coach and made a map of his/her trail before exiting! | ||

maybe it set low enough with leaking air bags to touch ground? or thrown up from vehicle tires out on road. We have earthworms up here every where after a lot of rain and they sometimes get thrown up on front of vehicle. | ||

your right about the sorry part.. as for resistance, if you hold the hot wire in one hand & the ground in the other you can check your resistance with a DVM . TRY IT ! |
