I contacted Stehl Tow and got this response. "We have been using bias ply tires on our tow dollies since the beginning of time. The results were always mixed but that is just what everyone used. Last year we changed to radial tires and it made a huge difference. I would suggest that you change...

I had it weighed last year. The combined weight of the van/dolly was 4580. Since the rear tires of the van are carrying some of the weight, I can't see how the front axle would be exceeding 3520.

Thanks to everyone. It was the solenoid. Found it to be an easy and inexpensive repair.

I presently have a tow dolly with ST205/75D14 tires. I am now on my second set of tires and they seem to be wearing out rather quickly. The present set has less than 4,000 on them and are showing significant wear on both edges. On the surface that would sound like a pressure issue, but I check...

When I am driving, my coach is not charging my house batteries. It is charging my engine battery. In addition, shore power and the generator DOES charge the house batteries. My unit is a 2000 Winnebago Adventurer on a F53 chassis. Any suggestions on where to start???? :( Edit by staff...

Thanks to all for your input.

It handles fine. We've had it for nearly 4 years. You're right; not much that can be moved forwarded.

I finally decided to weigh my 2000 Winnebago Adventurer. We weighed with our tow dolly and toad attached. The weight on the front axle was well within range, but the weight on the rear axle was 180 lbs heavy. Our fuel tank was about full, but we had limited water in our holding tanks and fresh...

Mine does not give tire tempature. To the touch, they do not feel hot.

No significant outdoor temperature or elevation change. Outdoor temperatures were running around 50. Outdoor temperature doesn't seem to be affecting the pressure. We were seeing the same pressure increase with temperatures in them 70's the last time we moved.

TPMS is Hopkins. Max cold pressure is 110.

I'm going by the sticker, but have added 500 lbs per axle to the max sticker weight when doing my figuring.

I have a 38 foot Winnebago Class A. The tires on each axle normally stay within 2 lbs or so of one another. Occasionally the rear may run as much as 4 lbs difference from one side to the other, but each set normally stays within that 2 lb range. I was mainly concerned about a 20 lb increase in...

I recently purchased a tire pressure monitoring system. I've been noticing a 16 to 20% increase in my tire pressure when driving, even on cool days. According to the inflation charts, having my pressure set at 100 lbs is plenty for the weight of my unit. I'm a little concerned about a tire going...

These were great instructions!!!! Thank you soooooo much! ;D
