    new tires

    When I put new GY670 275/75/22.5 on my MH, I shopped for price and found the local Campimg World to be cheaper (after my President's discount) by almost $250 for the six tires over my GY Commercial Tire Center. The CW tires had fresh dates and the installation was done correctly, I had them...

    Taking the load off the tires in storage

    I agree with Bob. I might add, that I try to take the MH out for a 30 minute highway drive each month and exercise the generator while I'm doing this.

    Air compressor

    When shopping for an air compressor you need to look at more than the max psi. Equally important is the SCFM (Standard Cubic Feet per Minute) that the air compressor can deliver air. The higher the SCFM the faster it will fill the tire. The Craftsman 110v Models that are around a $100 have a...

    Tropical T351 Not what expected engine

    Frustrating weekend

    I am sorry for your problems and your difficult weekend. I think you will find that RV's are pretty complex ( a rolling house) and unfortunately things happen. I agree that is disappointing and I can share your frustration, but, unfortunately it can be of owning an RV. The "RV Experience" has...

    Good Sam ERS

    Like Ron, I would not travel without ERS, especially with a Class A MH, are trailer tires easier and safer to change than a MH ? We have Coachnet for RV use, but our AAA Plus will cover some RV towing and our insurance is with Foremost that also provides some towing benefits. Unless, you think...

    Gas Prices

    buffs94 - I think all of us have been "stunned" by fuel prices recently, however I will not decrease our travel plans. After looking at the $ and doing some calculations, I found the following: we use the MH about 10,000 miles a year and at 8mpg that equals about 1,200 gallons of diesel. The...
