  1. I have always carried a spare in the last 44 years of motor homing.  When I became too old to do all the lifting I installed an electric winch to load it up into storage position.  I have had to change several tires over the years.


  2. I went on my own with a friend following me.  Watch your speed and when a truck is coming the other way angle towards the shoulder and stop because they throw gravel, that was on the Alcan highway.  Other roads were not too bad, generally traveled at between 35-50 mph.  I always carry at least one spare tire however the only people that had tire problems were trailers.  I like to come and go as I like so being in a rigid schedule with a caravan just wouldn't work for me even if it was free.

    I don't know the difference between STD PILOT (SP) and HUB PILOT (HP) studs. Please enlighten myself and I bet a lot others out there. I haven't learned anything new today.

    Hp use a 2piece nut and a sp wheel tapered nuts with double nuts on the rear duals.


  4. Check to see if the charge controller can take more than 45 volts on the input.  I think it will and you should wire the 100 watt panels in series.  The poly is not quite as efficient as the mono.  I have 8 100 watt Renogy mono panels wired 4 in series and the two banks in parallel as my 40 amp MPPT controller will take 100 volts max.  I think you need at least two more panels and a MPPT charge controller.


  5. Regarding instant hot water.

    All I did on my first one 18 years ago was to put a tee at the faucet hot line which was the farthest from the hot water heater.  Had a valve then a mech temp gauge from my dark room, and a return line to the fresh water tank.  I would open the valve until the water reached 125 degrees then shut it off.  Had instant hot water at the shower and no wasted water or extra fill in the gray tank.  My current one is 12 volt solenoid and digital temp gauge.  Push the button until temp reads 125 degrees.


  6. You need to contact other owners that are using the same car.  It is not a common toad so it may take some doing.  
    When a customer ask me what would be the recomended toad I always say to look around and see what it the most used vehicle in the type of toad you want.  I always tell them not to be the first one to try one set up, because the problems associated with being an early adopter.
