    need to replace tub and tires

    Where is a good place to go to find a tub replacement for my 2002 Wildwood? I have seen them on line but the drain holes are all in front or in the back of the tub and I need the drain hole on the side. Our trailer is a heavy trailer. Which tires should we be looking for? I’ve heard...

    JayCommand/BMPro - TPMS Safety

    I wanted to share some important safety info about one of our experiences a month ago while on our trip. We traveled a total of 10,000 miles through 17 states towing our Jay Feather Micro 166, single axle trailer. One of my worst fears was the potential for a flat tire or a total blowout...

    Tires for 3011 DS Forester Class C

    Time to replace the tires on my 2018 Forester, looking for what others have done. Considering moving up to a 121 load index but the available tires are very limited in this range. Just curious what others on this forum think and have replaced their OEM tires with. Tire size is 225/75R16 and OEM...

    Shopping New Set of ST Tires...

    My Windjammer came factory equipped with Trail Express Load Range C (225/75R15) tires. When I replaced them mid-camping season during year #4 (pretty good for the LRC China bombs), I upgraded to Goodyear Marathons (Load Range D, 225/75R15). The Marathons have been absolutely great, but I have...

    Tires mis-match.

    After one of the tires on my travel trailer tire had a deadly flat, I ended up with 3 radial tires and one regular. Does that cause a safety problem? Thanks

    Shock absorbers

    I just replaced a seriously worn front tire on my 2018 camper with 32k miles on it. I dread bringing it in for repairs because I know as soon as they get it on the lift they’re going to tell me I need a new widget that attaches something over here to something over there but I should be fine if...

    Bad week for tires

    Took the TT to New Bern, NC for 3 days so we could watch a friend's daughter play in a softball tournament. While at the campground the friend's son got into some mud up to his knees. No problem just had him use the outdoor shower to clean off. Apparently I didn't get the cover locked right and...

    noise when tires in rotation

    2018 Sunseeker 2290 here with 46k miles. Second season using it. Put new rubber on all 6 wheels last summer. Have had noise coming from driver's side (can't be sure if it's front or rear) when tires are in rotation. Does not make noise when stopped. Just had all tires rotated and balanced...

    Tow vehicle tires

    When parking in between excursions, is it ok to leave the truck and camper hitched for a week or two? Should the tongue leg be put down to relieve the weight on the tow vehicle or doesn’t it matter?

    Tires

    I am planning on putting on better tires this next spring and would like some recommendations on what is best. I know the tires that come on the new campers are very poor. We only have a few hundred miles to pull this year and I always keep my tires covered so I should be good through this year...

    Need new tires

    On our last trip we had one of the Goodride tires that our 2019 3901 WB came with blow out for no apparent reason. The TPMS didn't show low air pressure or high heat it just blew out. I am going to replace the china bomb tires and the best options I can find are the Goodyear 114's or the Sailum...

    Rear axle tires run hotter than front - normal?

    On our new Micro Lite it came with the TST TMPS system. It shows the tires on the rear axle running about 10 degrees hotter than the front axle tires. Seems weird to me but you RVers with more experience would know. First TT with TPMS.

    Geo Pro 19FD tires

    Anyone else notice that the stock Westlake offroad tires that come on the Geo Pro 19FD have one tire going in one direction and the other tire going in opposite direction? Is this a install mistake?

    Tires

    Tires on the bus have 80,000 KLM or 50,000 miles. Chassis is 2017. Don't see any wear or cracking. They hold air without issue. Should I be concerned about replacing them. Planning a cross country trip that could add another 10-15000 klm some of it on gravel road. Should I look at replacing...

    Wide Tires on Tow Vehicle

    All, I'm curious about this, because I've seen several trucks pulling campers with wide tires on the truck. I've seen it with trucks towing TTs and Fivers. Is this inherently dangerous, or completely ok? I'm just wondering if the sidewalls are strong enough. I have NO desire to do it. I'm...

    New tires - On my Lexington

    I replaced the 6 year old tires after trying to get the old ones with 25k miles balanced - a no go by the tire shop. I went with the a higher load rating (121 vs E/115) Michelin Agilis CrossClimate 225 /75 R16 121R C8 First impression is less road noise and a softer ride vs my old Michelins...

    We will be picking up our new Sunset travel trailer next Saturday - 253 RB. I have been reading a lot about really bad tires on travel trailers (china bombs). Should I consider replacing these tires immediately? Im willing to do this if necessary. This is my first travel trailer so I need...

    2014 Jay Feather Ultra Lite x17z Tires

    Recently purchased a used 2014 x17z that needs new tires. The tires on there are ST185/80D13. Next year I plan on a 4 week cross country trip. After doing some research, I think I want to upgrade to radial ply vs bias ply tire construction, but I am having trouble deciding on which...

    Uneven tire wear

    My front passenger tire on our 395MSR is wearing faster than the other five. The wear is even across the face of the tire, so it does not appear to be an alignment issue. The picture labeled Tire 1 is the one of concern, Tire 2 is typical of the other five. These are Cooper H-rated...

    Maxxis Tires

    Hello So I need new tires, 2019 Apex Nano, too many horror stories with the Castle Rocks. I'm looking at the Maxxis ST 8008 Radial., 205/75R/14. From what I read these appear to be a good tire, at a reasonable price. Does anyone have any thoughts on these tires. Thanks Harvey

    Balance new Trailer Tires?

    Anyone know if Forest River (or their suppliers) balances the tires that go on new trailers? (travel trailers specifically; I know motorized RVs would need / have them balanced). I don't recall seeing weights on the wheels, now that I think about it. And I can't look at the moment, as I...
