    Tires

    Welcome to the forum. I don't have any experience with that size but I run 275 80R 22.5 on my RV and have been happy with them. I consider them as good or better than Michelin. Let us know how the switch to the bigger rims works out on your RV. I saw an add about using the 19.5 rims on a RV in Michigan 2 months ago and did a post about it. Bill
  2. I agree with Brett, it would be a shame to spend a lot of money (out of pocket) moving it to find out it is totaled. Bill
  3. Welcome to the forum. What thermostat do you have now? Why do you need to replace the thermostat? What make are the air conditioners? Bill
  4. Lloyd. Sorry for your situation. Is everyone ok? What does your insurance company say? Bill
  5. Welcome to the forum. I would start with the current towable list. https://www.fmca.com/images/stories/pdf/2019Towables-Updated_FRV0119.pdf Bill
  6. DD those are great but on the east side. The OP is talking about going west from as far east as Sault St Marie, UP. Jocelynn Wirshing-Power, I would recommend the Sault St Marie, UP crossing. I would take a day trip to Mackinac Island on the way up to the UP. Interesting area and I had a local explain "it isn't the UP till you cross the bridge". From there I would just follow the Maple leaf of 2 The Trans Canada Highway. Bill
  7. I had my Continentals spin balanced on a machine. So far they have performed well. Bill
  8. Well I got my confirmation on where we will stay before going into Minot. We will be at Fort Stevenson State Park. It is about 45 miles from Minot. We plan on leaving here on or about the 23 of July. Going to Amarillo, then Raton Pass with a side trip to Philmont then to The Rocky Mountin National park then wander towards Minot. After that West.

    Towing

    This in itself would be reason enough for me to look at different makes. Bill

    Towing

    I have read all the responses in this thread and I want to go back to your first question. First I would you take a deep breath and not get to excited by the coach the salsman is trying to sell you. It is nice but it may not be the best one for you. Have you driven a Newmar yet? I would try to find a Fortravel to test drive. Just to give you a better feeling for how different coaches drive. Back to the towing the jeep question. I don't think you will be able to tell it is back there unless you see it in the rear view camera. Bill
  11. That is about right. some coaches run a little cooler some a little warmer. I wouldn't get to worried till the temps get over 250. Keeping the radiator stack clean will help. Bill
  12. You have to be careful when going bigger. My coach started with the 255 80 22.5 and now has 275 80 22.5 and I am at the max I can run. Bill
  13. sbuck98, welcome to the forum. The schooners sound interesting. Bill
  14. I think the big takeaway for new people should be. Don't buy a coach based on the size requirements of a few campgrounds. There are always other places. Bill
  15. Compare them to your originals to see what the difference are. https://tiresize.com/comparison/ Bill
  16. Let's not forget those who gave everything so we can have so much. This includes first responders who run toward danger not away. Bill
  17. Ray I agree, I don't intend to be "camping" in 200 mph winds so probably don't need to be starting fires in those conditions.
  18. I want to order some of the "Mystical Fire Flame Colorant Vibrant Long-Lasting Pulsating Flame Color Changer for Indoor or Outdoor Use" listed below it. I wonder how it would look in a 200 mph wind? Bill
  19. Speck, on page 30 of the manual that Jim linked to tells how to read the codes and what they mean. Let us know what you find. Bill
  20. Welcome to the forum. If jleamont recommends them that is where I would go. Bill
  21. Remember they have a short "warm" season to work in. Most of the NE is like that with lots of bridge and road projects. Bill
  22. That and the signs telling you the road is rough. Realey, why not just fix the road/potholes. Bill
  23. I was there about a month ago. We camped in Freeport and drove down to the Kittering area for some shopping and lunch. Where were you? Bill
  24. Do they leave the toad connected on the ferry? Bill
