I think what jleamont was asking is after it makes contact with the roof structure. Does the substructure feel mushy? It looks like a defiant bargaining point to me. Bill

There is no modern car that records mileage when being towed. Something you should be aware of. When you hook up geting ready to tow. After you shut the car off, you need to pump the brake pedal to bleed off the vacuum for the brakes. Otherwise you can get some over aggressive braking till it bleeds off. Bill

Looking good. Bill

Shawn, I don't see any problem. With any large vehicle you will have to adjust to how it drives. Ask if you have any questions. Do you have any experience driving a big rig? Bill

It does look like delamination to me. I can't tell if the plywood underneath is buckled or it has just pulled loose from the underlayment. I would also be concerned with the sealant job to the right by the awning. Bill

I know yo miss being back home with the -30 windchill blowing snow in your face while you fight the snow blower.🤩 Bill

I don't know of anyone who does better work than Ernie. Bill

Ron, welcome to the forum. Do you have the Allison transmission? What are you looking to improve? Bill

When I had a class "C" I was lucky that it had a spare. I would absolutely recommend all class "C" owners weigh their coach. I found that the one I had built on a Ford cutaway chassis still had standard van light truck tires. After the conversion was done it was way over weight for the original tires. I upgraded to load range "E". So how are all the post about spares and location on your bus helpful to the OP in a class C forum? Bill

When you get ready to do the repairs I would apply heat (heat lamps) and maybe try some vacuum to dry out the interior of the wall. Your friend who does boat fiberglass repair (you have to see if there is water in the core) should have on. Maybe he will let you borrow it. Bill

The rodeo in NJ started the same year they started the indore weekley rodeo in FW 1929. The Fat stock show started in 1896.😉 In fact the FW show was organised a year earlier by a woman. Oklahoma cowgirl: Lucille Mulhall. Bill

I was down in the Ft Worth Stockyards this afternoon and was reminded it is the start of the Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo. Link to a little history. https://fwssr.com/history/ Bill

Welcome to the forum. Bill

Good. Make shure they understand you don't want old tires. Find out the date code so you know how old they are. I would be looking for a different dealer but that's just me. Road trip to Reno.😄 Bill

Now that we have hashed out that the XIZ is not the best tire for your RV (what is it buy the way, curious) and the dealer can't get XRV. I would do as Brett suggested. Contact Michelin directly to verify status/schedule for delivery. Michelin 866-866-6605. Let us know what you find out. Bill

After doing some more research I can't recommend them. One of the main reasons is they are only a 65 mph rated tire. Look at the link Kay posted. Just to make shure you know how to read the date codes so you get tires less than 3 months old, right? Bill

Well that's good but the dealer is trying to sell the OP a 305/70R22.5 XIZ or X Incity Z. Having adds is not as good as having current date code tires on the floor for installation.😁 Bill

Brett, have you ever heard of a XIZ tire for RV use? Bill

Try here, https://www.michelinrvtires.com/ I didn't find it there either. Bill

Welcome to the forum. I am curious and looking at possibly upgrading. I can't find a XIZ on the Michelin web site. https://www.michelintruck.com/search/#/ The search feature returns nothing on the XIZ line. Where are you located? Bill

Welcome to the forums! Tell us a little about you your RV and where you are. Bill

Did you look at or talk to the place I posted? Bill

What made you chose that one? Have you stayed there before? Bill

Looks good to me. Bill

San Jacinto Museum of History and in the same area Battleship Texas State Historic Site. Not a long drive. Padre Island National Seashore. See it now as you can't drive the length of Padre Island there is a ship channel with no bridge. You can see south Padre Island when staying in the valley. Try Dirty Al's at Pelican Station just before you go across the bridge. Last time in the valley stayed at Texas Trails RV Resort, West Owassa Road, Pharr, TX. Stop and see a exact copy of the Iwo Jima Monument. Iwo Jima Monument, 320 Iwo Jima Blvd, Harlingen, TX 78550 Bill
