Default Re: Scenic Cruiser owners

I appreciate that. I managed to transport it from East New Orleans to Jefferson at 4PM. Traffic was nuts, I guess I could also be considered nuts for the attempt. I've driven many types of vehicles including tractor trailers this was my first experience with a pusher and sitting in front of the front axle. Had a few forward and back moments getting around tight turns. Surprised myself. Was quite stable on the highway portion even with a 12-15 MPH cross wind. Takes a little getting used to not hearing the power train I imagine. Eerily quite up front. My next task will be to hunt down service & parts manuals for it. Any known sources for them? I have a few simple items that need to be replaced. Most notably the meter or gauge hood (dashboard in front the driver) has cracked and seems to be collapsing and also the surround (panel face) for the leveling system. Cracked sort of hangs there. I'm certain there is more. I appreciate in advance any feedback. Thanks. Mp2
