    Truck stops

    Stopped at a Flying J to rest overnite, all the RV spots were full, some taken by big trucks without trailers. There were open spots out back where the 18 wheeler park.

    Light Truck Tires on R-Pod

    Has anyone replaced the trailer tires with light truck tires? I just watched a YouTube video suggesting this option and stating that Airstream and some other high end trailer manufacturers are providing this as an option on their new trailers.

    A little rant about newer truck owners.
