I did not think to check the tire dates. I assumed they would be new dates because they were new. I called the tire place and they said they would have to order the tires. How can they insure they are new made tires if they have to order them? Also, I am curious as to their pricing compared to the Michelin quoted price I received before calling them. Which through Michelin I found the tire place as an authorized dealer. The prices they are giving me are higher per tire than the quoted price says . Even on their base price let alone the FMCA discounted price. Even though I gave them the numbers and quoted prices. I asked to confirm their prices did not include the mounting or anything. And it was the base tire prices. They had some off brand tires that were still more than the quoted Michelin prices. are they supposed to give the same price as the quoted prices, or is that just a guide? As for the fridge, I know it has power to it, the panel is lit up bright and it makes that god Awful noise letting me know it is not running on the LP. I’m not sure how to check exactly how much dc power it is getting. I read on another forum that said to check for corrosion on some terminals and wiring, that could effect the voltage received, but I did not see any corrosion anywhere. Not really 100% sure where I should look. But I didn’t see any when removing the outside panel and looking around.

Thank you. They are the 19.5’s. I used the link Wolfe sent and found a tire dealer 20minutes from my house that has the Michelin’s in the 19.5” I’m goin to call them today and see if they have any other options. Out of the three on this site the michelins were the cheapest. I will. Check out the. Bryant RV as well for a manual. That site sounds like it will come in incredibly handy. Thank you

Thank you Bill, that is a great idea. I did not notice there was a section to add a signature, let alone add my rig info to it. It’s a 34’ 1999 tiffin allegro bay on the ford chassis.

Thank you, I will see what commercial tire shops I can find up my way so I do not have to drive to far on them.

I’m located in a small town in northern New Hampshire. Stark,Nh. I did not check that it worked on propane when purchasing it. I went through everything with the previous owner but he had plugged it in. He said it had been sitting there and the house batteries would needed to have been charged more to make the slide out work and he wanted to show me it all worked properly.

I will check out the links. Thank you. The same one who told me I needed the new tires says I should get new springs. The rear drags some and the rig is extra bouncy and sways more than it should.

Thank you guys for the advice. I was not sure if the tires would be ok because they looked good even though they were older. I am going to play it safe and get all new tires when I get the new springs. Reading some forums I’ve heard many recommendations for “SumoSprings”. Any recommendations on where to get tires? My local RV repair shop? What about the Michelin tire club here on FMCA? If I order tires online I assume I would have a hard time finding someone to mount them. I know car tires no one wants to mount them unless you get them from the place itself.

I have not, I am completely new to The RVing world. I will Definitely look into how to do that and give it a try. Thank you!

I was really not sure since they looked in great condition. My car I drive so much the tires never hav a chance to get old and are replaced every couple years due to wear. As for the fridge, it does have an ice maker. I keep it off to save the space the ice bucket takes in it.

I purchased a used 1999 class A. Last year. Other than being dated it was in great condition with only 60k miles on it. A family member stated I need to purchase new tires, but they look excellent. Goodyear’s with Deep tread and There’s no sign of cracking or dry rot at all. The make date is 2108. Should i get a new set now, or is it safe to wait? I dont want a blowout, but they seem in excellent condition. The replacements are quite pricy, so if I can safely hold off I would rather put the money on a couple other things that need updating. Like the fridge that won’t run on the LP and only runs when plugged in.🤔
