Refer to the tire pressure placard on the inside of the drivers side door. if you don't have a drivers door, it will be on the wall under the drivers side window. This placard will detail the correct tire pressures for the front and rear axel assuming you have the correct size tires on your MH which I believe are 245/70R 19.5G . It will be sufficient for the max axle loads your coach is capable of and is still probably more than you actually need. 110 lbs is definitely too much.

These ones. Magnetic, and wireless.

If you can afford to retire now. then do it! Don't kid yourself, although you enjoy your career, it is simply a job with a means to an end. At 62 you only have so many years to get out, travel, and enjoy yourself before health issues will put an end to it. I spent 30 years in a very senior mgmt position within a global company. and although it was a great career, it didn't define me, it was simply a job which allowed me the freedom to retire at 59. Having now being retired for 5 years the only regret I have is that I didn't do it sooner. I worked alongside many a colleague that worked until they were 70 plus due to the same fears about retirement that you have expressed. All without exception later said that they wished that they had retired sooner....

There are many RV's that have 12 volt fluorescent light fixtures like the one below. Quite common.

Check the cars owner's manual under recreational towing. It will detail as to whether or not it can be towed 4 wheels down.

Even here in the Great White North, I do not use a cover. My 2010 Winnebago Suncruiser still looks as good as the day we bought her.

2003 Class C Ford e450 Wheel Simulator Lug Nut Cover
ianbullock replied to C-928382's topic in Tires
Check out BuyTruckWheels.com. Click here to take you to their selection of lug nut covers: Chrome ABS Plastic & Stainless Steel Lug Nut Covers – Buy Truck Wheels I think yours are 33 mm. Although I had to use Google to do the conversion from inches to mms, LOL. They also have a selection of lug nuts. Click on "Accessories" on the menu bar to see what's available. -
Regarding your existing antenna getting too hard to crank up and rotate...have you lubricated it yearly as per the manufacturer's recommendations? If not, check your manual and lube both the crank up gears and swivel area as directed. You'll be amazed at the difference. As per your question on omni directional antennas, they are far inferior to the Wineguard "batwings" as you call them. I mean the work ok if you are close to the source but they don't have the reach for distant signals.

Who, What, When, Where or Just Lets Talk
ianbullock replied to hermanmullins's topic in General Discussion
Although we have not stayed there, the City of Branson Lakeside RV Park looks to be one of the better parks to stay at while touring Branson. We had reservations to stay there in May of 2020 but like everything else Covid interupted our plans. When we return to Branson this is likely where we'll stay. -
No Gov't regulations to do with Tires. Not sure where you heard that. Michelin in Canada operates separately from Michelin in the US. I believe negotiations with Michelin in Canada has been hindered by the much smaller number of FMCA members in Canada. The only way to get Michelin to play ball would be for FMCA to lean on Michelin US by threatening to pull away from the US Michelin tire deal if Michelin doesn't do a deal in Canada. I don't think this would be very popular mover with the majority of the US FMCA members so I would guess that its a non starter. Anyhow, in the grand scheme of things its not that much of big deal to me so not sure it's worth the effort on anyone's part.

I buy them at my local tire shop here in Canada. About 30 miles from my house. I always compare prices between US and Canada and find that once the currency exchange is factored in, that they are generally cheaper here. I am also a fan of Toyo's however they don't make the exact size I require for the MH. I know I could find a close match but I hate it when my speedometer/odometer is off. Unfortunately there are still no FMCA tire discount programs here in Canada.

I have been using Michelin's for over 25 years on all of our MH's. 235/80R/22.5's for over 12 years now on our current MH. Just looking at the 3rd set. I haven't had any issues or premature cracking/aging at all. I haven't noticed any reduction in quality over the last 25 years at all.

For Vaccinated Americans to enter Canada for general travel purposes. The US land border still remains closed to Canadians wanting to travel into the US for general travel purposes.

Jim, Carl, respectfully I think you missed the point.

Or email our new president at rporter@fmca.com

Call them.

If you call the folks at the FMCA store they will mail it to you for far less. I have done this several times.

We used RVShare to rent a trailer last winter in Texas because we couldn't take our Motorhome across the US land border due to Covid. Apart from the very high insurance fees, and admin fees that they tack on, the rental experience was trouble-free and seamless. The trailer we chose was a 2021 Grand Design owned by a couple out of Brownsville. They were very nice folks who obviously looked after their rental. The trailer had been used a few times previously but it was in "like new" condition. RVShare is a 3rd party peer to peer RV rental company facilitating the rental of RV's like the Airbnb of the RV World. While we had a good experience, I would suggest that each customer's experience can vary greatly depending on the condition of the RV's and integrity of it's owner.

I would go with Carl's first suggestion and move to another park, asap!

$17.96 for me too! And I'm not a prime member.

Until you get a chance to weigh your coach and inflate as per Hermin's instructions, Your tires should be inflated to the 90 lbs as per the sticker on the wall (or door) next to the drivers seat. I would go 80 for the low psi and 115 for the high psi although others may have further recommendations.

Where and which parks in particular are you seeing this increase? We were planning to go to the Gillett area last summer but cancelled due to Covid. Most of our reservations were in the $75-80 range for a FHU pullthru in SD, Colorado, Wyoming. The cheapest might have been $65.
