Anyone have any experience with Sumitoma tires?  They are considerably cheaper than Michelin.  My tire size is 235/80 R22.5. 

Gary, Thank you for the quick response.  The first time I towed the car and the RV engine hit about 4800 I thought it was going to blow up.  Good to know the engine is doing what it is designed for!  This is a great forum! Bob

Just curious, what did you end up buying and how is it working out?

Good advice!  Thank you... Bob

The owners manual was not clear on RPM limits. Thank you for replying.

When pulling our 4 down toad, my RPM is jumping up to 4800 when going over a hill.  Is that cause for concern? I?m driving a 2015 37 foot Coachmen Encounter on the F53 with the 6.8 v10.  I?m pulling a GMC Terrain 4 down.  I engage the tow/haul button on the RV when towing. We want to take...

Here?s an update on this situation.  Turns out what I thought was a battery kill switch is really a switch that converts the electric system from driving to towing.  The car battery is supposed to get a charge from the RV battery/engine when being towed, but the wires for that were not part of...

Thank you for the response regarding the brake lights.  I was wondering if the brakes and the brake lights were separate.  I thought the unit was much harder to break.  I?ll have to take this back to the installer.  Nothing is simple. 

Thank you for the responses! The kill switch is supposed to disconnect the battery once you have the key in accessory and shift to neutral.  I have a button on the dash of the car that toggles to either ?drive? or ?tow?.  Everything still comes on, so clearly there is a problem. On the way home...

I?m new to towing 4 down.  My 2015 Terrain is equipped with a battery kill switch, but the first time I towed I still managed to run the battery down.  Is there a correct procedure to killing the battery before towing?

Has anyone had any experience with a company called rvwarrantyforever?  I'm looking at a new TT and the dealer says rvwarrantyforever is included.  It looks good, but almost too good.  It's supposed to cover just about everything as long as I own the unit. Thanks!

Thank you for the words of encouragement!  I am watching the advertisements and will ask for input when I zero in on a truck and 5th wheel combo.  Bob

Hello, I expect to retire in the next 12 months and am looking at maybe a 5th wheel.  The wife and I would be new to RVing.  It looks like a lot of fun, but the forum can be a little intimidating.  By that I mean it looks like you need to be a combination mechanic/electrician/plumber/automotive...
