  1. BData, Welcome to the forum. Yes, it's time for new tires. If you are not having any problems with the 315s I would stick with them. You can look at this comparator to see the differences. Riley not much, 1.2" taller and 0.8" wider. https://tiresize.com/comparison/ Bill
  2. Well I hope you are enjoying your morning drive. If it is bothering you you are probably on the road. If you put your RV information in your signature it will get you more accurate answers. See Carl's and Joe's. Bill
  3. Just a little different than the last picture you posted. Bill
  4. First, welcome to the forum. Yes many forget that little detail. Bill
  5. Carl, I think this is some kind of urban/internet legend "if you tow something behind your RV it will be damaged". My question is what about when you are not towing? Does damage accrued then not count? How do you know when that rock chip happened? Bill
  6. I have been towing a 2014 CR-V since new and I can find no damage to it caused by towing. I have towed it behind 2 different diesel pushers. One had a full with mud flap and one didn't. So I am not a fan of the extra expense and complexity when towing. Bill
  7. Welcome to the forum. What my credit score and credit history is doesn't matter. The only thing that matters is yours. If you want to know what the interest rates are call and ask the different lenders. Bill
  8. Pretty shure that would be anouther reason I wouldn't buy that one. Bill
  9. Welcome to the forum. I have a 50amp power pedestal tester. It is called a Surge Guard It monitors power 24/7. Hearer is a link to a description. I don't plug in without it. I like the portable ones so I can Cheick outher pedestal's if I need to without moving the coach. https://rvpower.southwire.com/products/surge-protection/50a-portable-model-34850-with-lcd-display/ Bill
  10. I seriously doubt a 2008 Safari Simba shipped from the factory without a inverter to power the icemaker and a couple more outlets like the microwave, TV, and a couple of outlets, at least one in the bathroom and in the bead room. Pretty easy to test. Bill
  11. I used Huntington when I bought my Mountain Aire. They had the best rate. https://www.huntington.com/ Bill
  12. So if you had a ice maker and it worked on propane you had a inverter from the factory. All the icemakers are 120 AC. The plug where the ice maker was plugged in was where I plugged my residential refrigerator on my last 2003 Bounder. Bill
  13. Welcome to the forum. I would think that would be more to do with the efficiency of the solar panels rather than the batteries. But then it all has to work together. Bill
  14. Did the icemaker work before when running the the refrigerator on propane and not pugged in or on generator? Bill
  15. patrickjmcardle, welcome to the forum. I would drain the coolant into a clean container and pull the plug and inspect both it and the receptacle carefully with a good light. Some one may have cross threaded the plug before. I had a leak on my last coach where someone had used the wrong thread plug. Also look for cracks where the drain enters the tank. FIREDOG53, Welcome to the forum. Bill
  16. We are in FW Texas. Just got back tonight from Kerrville Texas, we were staying at Buckhorn Lake Resort. https://www.buckhornlake.com/ Look at "The Clube" They have a bunch of Casitas fore sale. Bill
  17. Welcome to the forum. Help me get the terminology straitened out in my mind. Now are we talking about s standard RV absorption refrigerator that works on propane or 120 AC electric? Does it have an icemaker? When you talk about "in inverter mode" Is this an inverter you installed or a factory one? If it is one you installed did you run it direct to the refrigerator or just tie in into the circuit the refrigerator is on? What is the make model and year of your RV? Bill
  18. Personally the convivence of using the toll tag is worth it even if you had to pay 5% more. The convivence of using the toll roads makes it a great deal. Bill
  19. So where did you get your information? I get mine from the NYSTA web site. I have been driving the Thruway since before it opened. Did you know if you have an out of state EZ-Pass and use it in NY the charge is a little higher? Yet it is and has been cheaper to use the EZ-Pass over cash or mail in billing.
  20. They have always charged more if you don't have a pass. Bill
  21. Yes absolutely, especially in the North East. One outher benefit of using major toll roads/for instance I-95 North of NY. (never cross the GW bridge) You can find good rest areas with gas stations you can get in and out of. Yes I have driven on the back roads in New England. The good roads are all North South routs. When you go East West not so much. Many like US-2 are not bad but harder to get any place and hard to find good stops. US-1 can be a nightmare of traffic during the summer. We did a rally at Moody Beach RV Campground and it could take 30 min+ to get out of the parking lot with the toad. Like Richard said going through places like Chicago with out using toll roads would be just totally aggerating. Getting around the local traffic is totally worth the tolls. One outher big thing when you don't know the roads or the area. Using Toll roads are all most all safe to drive in your RV. No low (un marked) bridges, no bad big surprises. Bill
