All of this recent discussion about tire pressure as related to trailer sway has got me thinking about how I really need to be on top of my trailer's tire pressure. The problem is my tire pressure gauge is either not very good or, possibly more likely, not idiot proof (the idiot being me). I...
I'm totally vexed with the valve stem extenders that I purchased to make it easier to manage my tire pressures.
The durned extenders seem prone to leaks and are of questionable quality.
I'll confess up front that I bought the "econo" valve extender kit off Amazon. Chinese junk, likely, but...
Greetings RV Tire Experts,
My Saintly Spouse and I are just completing a two month journey beginning in Frosty New England, straight down to Key West then onto Southern Tejas and north to the wineries of the Hill Country.
Along that route we have had temperatures ranging from deeply freezing...
Ordered a 2022 Silverado. Chevy offered extra tire monitors for trailer tires for what seemed to be a cheap price. $50 for 4. They mount on the stem base on the inside of the wheel. Afterward I got to wondering if they report tire temperature also? Anyone with a 2022 silverado? If so, do the...
I’m going into the fifth year of my Castlerocks and hoping for some long trips this summer with the TT. Plan on buying 3 Goodyear Endurance. Likely via Amazon.
Wolf Pup 16BHS, 3500# axle, current tires ST205/75R14.
Axle was undersprung for a near 5” clearance gain.
Is there any reason to go...
Anybody else besides me running Hankook Vantra tires,? I've only had a chance to use them once so far but I'm eased with them so far. I couldn't find Goodyear Endurance but did find these, and since the reviews were favorable to the Enduranxe tires, I went with them. I was petrified of the...
Tire/Axle advice. Last February after several long trips putting 10,000 miles on a new set of Goodyear Endurance tires I was in Albuquerque and found the inside of my driver side front axle was worn extremely worn. I did not want to drive home on this tire so I put a new one on it. When I was...
Hi, I just finished installing a spare tire hoist under our motorhome. Which side of the wheel do you face down to the road when lifting the wheel. Is it outside of wheel facing down? Thank you
Hi,
My rear tire was punctured by a nail in the center of the tire. It will receive a plug and a patch for the fix. I know that this type of combo repair is safe for driving, but when it comes to a tow vehicle is it safe? The tires are LT265/60R20 load E. Again, the tire will be getting...
Hi all,
I have a Forest River Salem FSX 260 RT Toy Hauler that I bought in October 2019. I love it. I have been using it to move from Maryland to Texas. I have made 5 round trips, about 3500 miles round trip. The trailer has four tires mounted on two axles.
I have had 4 tire blowouts on the...
This may have already been posted so forgive me if it has. There is a recall on Sailun ST Tires. Here is a link. https://camperreport.com/sailun-tire-recall/
We took our new 192 out camping for its maiden voyage this past weekend and everything went well except the spare tire mount keeps coming loose. The spare tire mount looks to be similar to the one in the attached picture. The problem is that the thin metal plate that goes across the wheel...
For my Sunseeker I asked dealer on how to take off spare tire located underneath at the middle of vehicle. If your tire gets flat is no option to get it from there. He show me the "jack tool's" located under passenger seat in compartment at the door side. That is the long metal stick folded...
All,
If someone could answer this I would appreciate it. I recently traded in my 2015 ram for a 2021. My camper / hitch (centerline TS) was set up to tow on the original 17 inch tires on the 2015. The new truck has 18 inch tires (stock). My question is will I have to reset my hitch height...
I just ordered 4 Goodyear Endurance tires as a result of recommendations on this forum. Discount Tire Direct is having a flash sale, February 14 and 15 only. I got $75 off a set of 4. I wanted to pass the info along to fellow forum members. In these times of soaring inflation, $75 extra dollars...
I am going to replace my tires on my 3170ds sunseeker in the spring. What are your recommendations for tires? Brand and load rating. Also wanting to have TPMS installed in the valve stems. Rec’s on brands thanks in advance
Does the Force or DX3 come new with an air hose and fitting to fill the tires? For some reason I thought I saw one early on but nowhere to be found now. Maybe I imagined it. I know where the quick disconnect port is on the coach, just don't know if I need to buy a hose, or keep looking.
We have a Cedar Creek 29 IK fifth wheel 2018. We travel only in the spring and summer months and store it in the winter. On average we do between 5-6000 km during the season. My husband is really good inspecting the tire conditions and pressures and we use a tire monitoring system when we...
I have a 2021 Forest River Wolfpack 23pack15 last weekend second trip out on the way home I noticed at a fuel stop some wires in the wheel well dropped onto the tire and wore halfway through. This is below the pop out. The wires come out of the coach on front side of wheel well and are zip tied...
I bought another tire for a spare o my trailer and its almost a year old. code is 1021, 10th week of last year. Would you keep it or send back? I am told tires made overseas are at least that old or older as they take time to arrive. I would love opinions on this. Thanks
I was reading this morning about a Frog going on a four day trip and the list of stuff for the trip. It reminded me of when I sold my Class A how surprised I was at the amounted of unneeded stuff I was packing around. A full set of stainless cook ware, an 8 place setting of stone ware including...
Hi:
I have a 25 ft Class C motorhome, a Forest River Solera 24Rn 2014. I plan to purchase new tires before I hit the road in the spring. I currently have LT215/85R Open Country H/T All tires which were purchased at Les Schwab Tire. I am looking for recommendations on tires, and where you...
I returned that castle rock st tire and swapped it for a sailun s637 since its been getting good reviews. Had no issues at all switching the tire. Priority tire has always been good to me and sent me a return label and within less than a week I got a refund. Priority didn't have the s637, so I...
