  1. I am in Houston also. I am also in the market for new tires. I have 7 year old 305/70R22.5 on my coach. One of the rear tires has what looks like a cut as opposed to age wear. I called Strouhal in north Conroe to order a set and was told that these are on back order. He also said that if the cut was not deep (relative to what?) I should be OK to do a planned trip to Dallas. More pertinent to the thread.,. His comment was that the XZEs are more sold to local fire departments, trash trucks, ambulances etc., not so much for high-speed (over 70mph) highway driving. Has anyone else heard this relative to XZEs?
  2. I am new here but am not new to the RVing lifestyle. You said your parents were contemplating a tour of the U.S. Would that be all in one bite? Or over several seasons a little at a time? They might want to start with a medium size 'C' to find out how to navigate and operate the unit in a variety of situations. Then move up to something more spacious and comfortable. My suggestion would be to look at some of the RV ratings for reliability and suitability for full-timimg. Select a few of the models that they think are suitable and get the ratings and comparisons from a service such as JD Power. With the economic downturn many of the manufacturers cut some corners so that the year of manufacture makes a big difference. Good luck!
