Hi all,
I am getting ready to pick up a pop up (about 2000lbs - not a big one) this weekend and drive 450 and some it through the hills - 5% to 7% up and down grades.
The owner owned the camper for about 6 years and did not change them. as far as he remembers - the previous owner replaced them a year or two back. So, definitely the tires has been at least 7 to 8 years old now and possibly need to be replaced.
The owner tells me that the threads look good and maybe I should get them changed right after I drive back. But I want to change them before I embark the trip.
Where do I go to them changed and possibly adding grease to the wheel bearings? Which places do you recommend? I know many are DIY and I could do it to, but not at this time as I will be driving 450 miles with my 1500 truck on Sat (staying at a bed and breakfast) and pick up the camper on Sunday morning and drive back. So, I do not know if I want to do it myself at this time.
So, which place would you recommend or know? Sorry if this is a dumb question as this would be my first pop up and first time towing anything!!! So, I am a little bit nervous.
Thanks!
