  1. This post is the reason we ceased all and any chance of a vacation in NY!
    We were scheduled last summer for a trip to Lake George, I canceled it. The thought of spending money there made me nauseous. 
    I absolutely refuse to travel to this state. If we cut through I will not stop for ANYTHING, not spending my money there. I will only go there for work business trips, no choice.

    Feds need to step in and wrap their arms around all of that nonsense and bring them back to reality, it has spiraled out of control.


  2. Today’s truckers do not use CB’s! If you hear any on it, it’s the remaining professional drivers that haven’t retired yet. I’m in that business, I can tell you from experience I see one in every 400 tractors. I spec’d out a group of tractors a few years ago with factory installed Cobra’s. 15 units and 30 drivers, when I asked what they thought of the tractors I was asked what those chrome radios were that don’t work :wacko:. When they asked if they had to pay XM for those to work I knew the world was changing.

    On our new coach, it shall be interesting to see how long these Michelin's last...I don't feel that they have the quality anymore.  365 steer, 315's rest.

    2012 Newmar King Air, ISX 600, Spartan K3 chassis, 12.5 Kw Onan Gen. 200 fuel.

    How old are they? If older than your current tires have them swapped, obviously all but the steer.

    Joe, that's no joke!  Unreal how fast we have gotten away from the norm, or at least my norm!  How many years until the kids will take a picture of a iPhone?  iPad or Lap top computer?

    I figured that would hit home! I wonder if my grandkids will say “you mean you had to drive your car” :wacko:

      Sidewall will breakdown long before tread,

    Normally yes, your Michelin’s were pretty low on tread when I saw them, heck your LF steer had steel belts showing in the inner edge :wacko:. I was thankful I didn’t reach in and swipe my had over them :o

    I never heard of Toyo tires and they are not listed in the FMCA offerings. I have had at least 3 sets of Goodyear RV tires and have not seen any unusual wear pattern on them.

    Don’t let the last deter you from another brand. Just because they are not on the program doesn’t mean they cannot be used on your coach. There are many other brands out there that will give you good service for a fair price.


  7. My guess...just an assumption. Some pedals hang from the front wall some are mounted and hinge off of the floor. And there is a combination, accelerator mounted to the front wall, brake hinges off of the floor or vise versa. One you pivot your ankle and the other you have to lift your leg. That gets awkward to drive but over time you should become a custom to it. If the OP’s automobile is different I could see where the feel might not be desirable. Or worse yet, he’s not the original owner and someone was up in there and it’s not correct. That’s where the photo would come in handy.


  8. Your only option would be to alter the pedal pad.   locating a shop willing to take on that liability will be difficult. That’s a huge risk for a business to take.

    Anything else would be more of a pain than it’s worth I.e. replacing the valve and lever.
