Does anyone else own the 2012 Attitude FL28AKLG

its funny because my sticker on the side of mine says 65 psi to fill the tires. I have always been under the impression that you want to keep them topped off to prevent blowouts. How many miles do you think were on the tires when they blew?

Was that sticker on the wheel? If so, where was it, on the front or back of the wheel?

Anyone else have these stickers....? These rigs come with E rated tires requiring 80 PSI cold pressure.

BTW, I had this blow out coming back from the desert a couple of weeks ago. I also needed to have the axles aligned as I was getting very poor and uneven tire wear.



Thanks

I was looking for the same answer in a post towards the top of this page. I also couldn't find a rating on the rims.
I have never found an answer about the max rim psi rating.

I run about 75psi cold, figuring it will go up abit once warm. I need to check the psi warm to see what they are when warmed up.

Yeah, my sticker says the same, but I'm curious why it says that. Probably 3k miles on the tires, but in the tire's defense, I believe it was one of the ones I plugged last spring. I'm looking toward Michelin Rib in LT235/85R16, which is larger in diameter than my current tires, 235/80R16. Only problem is that I don't feel like spending $1,200. Today I am going to measure the distance between the axles and see if they will fit, but I may just throw another cheapo on there and hope for the best for awhile.

Have any of you upgraded your tires yet? I had a blowout on the way home from Glamis and am looking for replacements...Luckily there was no damage. Also, I looked for a PSI rating on the wheel and was unable to find one. I have been running 80PSI.

PSI on the WHEEL..as in the rim? I've never seen one. You should ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS run the trailer tires at the maximum COLD PSI stated on the TIRE sidewall. All tires have this stated, usually kind of small, but it's there. Every brand and model will be slightly different. I have two different models of Green Ball tires. One requires 80 PSI, the other takes 85 PSI. The tire is rated for it's maximum weight rating at the specified PSI measured cold. It will go up after driving. That is normal and okay. Having your tires even a few PSI low greatly effects the weight carrying capacity and the wear. It is unsafe to run at lower PSI. Sorry for the caps. I'm not being mean, just want to point out a very important point.

Yes, the wheel. You don't want to put a 110 PSI tire (Goodyear G114) on an 80 PSI wheel.

My wheels have the max psi stamped on the inside of the rims, you can't see it if you have a tire mounted. Mine are rated at 110psi.

Mine came with Goodyear Marathons. 4 of the 6 were bad. I replaced with what my local Discount/America's Tire recommended, which were Green Ball tires. I like them a lot.

I like the shelves, looks good .... I might copy that idea.
Can you post up the details on the stain used ?

Been thinking about changing the wiring on the lights above the headboard. Right now one siwtch on the passenger side controls both lights. Would like to have them wired seperately with a switch on both sides.

I used basswood for the shelving…….. "Tilia Americana"

MIxed……

5 tablespoons of MINIWAX Wood Finish "Red Chestnut 232"
1 tablespoon of MINWAX Wood Finish "Dark Walnut 2716"

Let dry…… sand with fine paper or steel wool and then use a clear semi gloss finish.

As far as the interior light go…I removed the lights that came with the rig and installed some swivel marine interior lights, each controlled by a switch on the light. So basically, the new lights are powered full time and each can be turned on separately.
