  1. Thank you for the replies. I never thought about selling the used ones they don’t show any signs of cracking or anything I just want to change them before it happens. Probably don’t have 10000 miles on them. Will check out the Sailun tires thanks

  2. I am looking for new tires for a 2011 38 ft mobile suites. The original tires are Goodyear Lt235/85r16 G614.   Will probably stick with the same but was wondering what other people use, I won’t put some no name cheap ones on. I want good tires that I won’t be worried about the whole time and I’m about 1500 lbs from gvwr on the trailer. It’s about 16000 loader and I have weighted it. Any suggestions will be appreciated 

  3. Hi Carl when we bought our 2011 ms 2 years ago we had bearing failure but also the caliper pins were dry and the caliper would not float,  I don’t know if the sticky pins caused rubbing and heated bearing or if bearing heated pins up. The wheel was hard to turn with both hands plus it was so hot that you could barely touch the aluminum wheel for 1 second at most. We never replaced it, I know we should because dot date is 2010 will replace in spring but no problem with the tire they are the 16 inch Goodyear. 

  4. Depending on what year and what motor you have. The last two Chevy 1500 I have had had a 6.0 gas and a 6.2 gas and a heavy duty rear axle towed a 33 ft Salem fine on the flats of Illinois but not that great in big hills or mountains, and it seems no mater what you tow behind it your lucky to get 8 mpg on either motor

  5. The older craftsman tool are a lot higher quality than the new ones can’t count how many newer ratchets I have broke. I look at estate sales or some flea markets for old tools they will outlast most new ones. I have a Williams half inch ratchet and socket set that is probably older than me (50) I will keep that and let craftsman set go when we full time 

  6. We just spent a week at a county fair camping in an open field. 97-100 all week with humidity at least 85%. Ac’s Ran all day without shutting off till at least 10pm. No shade. Was a fun week but glad it’s over. Btw it is only 20 minutes from our house and pool. We are in mid illinois just north west of Springfield 

  7. We have one on our 2004 f-350 and it is real easy to use just plug in and it tells you what to do depending on what you want,towing or normal driving. We have 2 towing and a couple of performance modes will look tomorrow to see what brand. We’re very happy with it on a bullet proofed 6.0 liter that tows a lot more than it was rated for stock and good mileage too. 

  8. voltage.

    Proper outlet wiring with the following is tested:

    Ground and neutral present and contiguous

     120-volt power between E1 and Neutral

     120-volt power between E2 and neutral

    240-volt power across E1 to E2

    If there are errors in the outlet wiring like reversed power and neutral, missing grounds or improper voltage from E1 to E2 certain lights will not illuminate.

    All materials other than the Camco Plug are provided – you will need to bring a plug to complete the project.

    BRING THIS PLUG - IT IS NOT PROVIDED

     

  9. I have had different brands of travel trailers over the years haycock, forest river,and a couple other that I can’t remember. I definitely think the older ones are the best. I would stay away from ultra light or light weight trailers. If you look close when you go through them a lot of the wood is thinner and just doesn’t seem to me to be as solid, especially if your going to use it more than just the occasional weekend. Forest river Salem model that I had was 33 ft was very happy with that one. Just pay close attention to how it’s built and not so much on the shiny stuff. For sure check the tire ratings compared to the gvwr.
