  3. We are traveling west-bound from Middlebury, IN to Kellogg, IA (off I-80). We want to avoid tolls when possible, but stay on the most direct route, so will travel U.S. 20 in Indiana to I-94W to I-80. Once we enter Illinois, we know this involves toll roads (Tri-State Tollway (I-94/I-294/I-80)?). Any hints for big-rigs? Should we stay in the right lane? Do the toll booths accept cash or credit card payments? Or is it all ‘Pay By Plate?’ Any recommendations are greatly appreciated. Thanks in Advance, JohnnyB

    Kansas Turnpike

    I am traveling east on I-70 from Salina, KS to Higginsville, MO tomorrow. I will use the KS Turnpike from Topeka to Kansas City, and will pay cash for the tolls. Is it apparent which lane is for Big Rigs at the toll plazas?
  5. We are driving west to east on I-70 from Salina, KS, through Topeka, KS and Kansas City to Higginsville, MO. We usually avoid toll roads, but in this case we will use the toll road (rather than wind through on State and County Roads). We will pay cash at the toll booths. Are there designated toll booths for Big Rigs (we're 13'6" H), and what side of the toll exchange are they? Right? Left? Thank you.
  6. Hi Folks, Thought I'd share my experience getting 10 new tires. Steers are Michelin X Line Energy Z 315's. Super smooth riding. Pair was $2200. Drives are Bridgestone R268 ECOPIA. 8 Tires were $4400. Drives took about 2 hours, Steers about 40 minutes. Photo shows them changing the steers while leaving the rims installed. Seemed a bit dangerous but the worker said he only does this with new tires.
  7. We are heading to Maverick Ranch RV Park, Lajitas, TX from Ft. Stockton (off I-10) in mid-March. Has anyone driven this route before? We have a 45' Rig and tow a pickup, so are 70' long driving down the road. We are 13'6" high. Should we use US-67 south or US-385 south to get to TX-118 (then TX-170)? Or is there a better option? Thank you.
  8. I am currently running 275/80R22.5 Michelin XZA3+ Drive Tires on my Showhauler Motorhome built on na Cascadia 2013 Chassis. They will need to be replaced within the next year due to aging. I am confused due to the wide selection of commercial tire offering. If I stick with Michelin, what specific tire would you recommend? If I go with an alternative, what specific tire would you recommend? Thanks, JohnnyB

    RV Flexarmor

    I had my 45' Motorhome done in Green Cove Springs. Can't recommend this company enough. No more worries about roof leaks !!
  10. Thanks again. It appears to this novice, based on the knowledge in this post, that the front axle bearings are a higher priority to routinely check that the rears. And the fronts have a more severe reaction if neglected. You folks are awesome. JohnnyB
  11. Would you guys provide a bit more detail on how to maintain the rear oil bath bearings. I don't know how to ensure proper level without a window. JohnnyB
  12. You guys are absolutely correct. I should just have a bit visible in the bottom. There are 2 rings showing max and min. Are the rear axle hubs the same as the front hubs? Or are they sealed bearings? JohnnyB
  13. You guys are totally awesome. It appears to require the oil at 1/2 way. JohnnYB
  14. Folks, My Cascadia has 56,000 miles. It goes to me local Freightliner dealer every year for its annual service. While cleaning my wheels, I noted that the oil level was low on both sides of my front axle shafts. I know nothing about this particular area. 1. What is this called? 2. It appears the oil level should be 1/2 full, is this correct? 3. What type of lubricant do I add? 4. What purpose does this serve? Thanks, JohnnyB
  15. BarbaraOK, Do you feel the need for Full-Timers to 'sanitize' their potable water tanks if used and refilled regularly? JohnnyB
  16. Folks, Has anyone used Purogene for sanitizing their potable water systems. Would like some feedback. Thanks, JohnnyB
