    a super single is considered the same as a pair of tires....think about the surface area in contact with the road. You can not put four super singles on one axle. I thought that would be common sense. Since the original statement was "I am seriously debating pulling the inside duals off and running singles on the back" we weren't talking about super singles anyway.

    I know the odds of being cited are less than slim but in some states (Texas for one) if there is a position for a tire it must have one there. It is illegal to turn a dually into a single.
  3. Not in Texas. The hitch isn't an issue here.
  4. Do an internet search for the Texas Registration Manual, the Texas Title Manual and also the Texas Occupations Code, section 2301 and look at the definition of Motor Home. The Registration Manual and the Title manual tell you what the DMV wants to register it, and how/what they will do. Section 2301 tells you what "it" must contain to be a MH.
  5. I thought I was the king of tacky replies. You better be careful Rick, you might damage your reputation
  6. Henry, are the taillights pictured in your post from last Wednesday temporary?
  7. Brad, yes you can paint them. They make a plastic paint...I think it allows more flex than regular. When the shop where I live painted mine I thought it was something they added to the paint. Edit...and here is a rattle can made for plastic Rust-Oleum Black Automotive 248649 12-Ounce Paint for Plastic Spray, Gloss, 11 Ounce (Pack of 1), 12 Ounce - - Amazon.com

    I know others will mention another brand but I have been using PressurePro, one model or another, since 2000 and wouldn't have any other.
  9. I would love to see yall...please call me when you know a date. Spendingbanybtime here?
  10. Would you please clarify what you mean by "class A permit"? There is no "permit" required in Texas to operate an RV. Just go get your Class A drivers license. Take all the classes you want, as others have said training is good. But unless the school requires you to get something else, just go straight to the DL.
  11. 100% correct, sir. Phil is right. And I've never had an issue with overcharge. The car (as we know) has a parasitic drain anyway and with the controller built onto the panel I never even gave it a thought. I added the cigarette lighter plug because the factory plug is wired to the key and shuts off. Adding a new plug straight to the battery makes the panel easy to connect and disconnect without having to dig under the floor mat to attach clips
  12. Dave, since I have a company truck, I rarely drive my smart. I got tired of jump starting and ruining batteries. I hardwired a cigarette lighter plug straight to the battery and bought a small solar charger that I throw between the windshield and the sun screen. It just back-feeds through the cigarette lighter plug. I leave it on all the time the car is parked, even on the trucks deck. I got something like this.

  13. You mean these pictures, Rocky?
  14. Used my EFS card to fuel up in Baytown the other day for $3.37 a gallon. Dan, I'm leaving Columbus tomorrow and heading west to I-35 and going south. I'll wave as I drive by.
