Any issues with 19.5 wheels???
I took our new to us 2003 Flair 33r to Costa Mesa for the Sand Sports Super Show. Almost all the way there, we had a pretty good shake, and bounce, both in the steering wheel and the seat.
My years of experience told me I had something in the front end, like tire balance, to cause the steering wheel to shake like that. And also, the rear had some balance issues with my seat the way it was.
We got back home to Tucson, and I took it to a friend to have the wheels balanced. Well well well, come to find out, one of the wheels was bent, and bent good enough that Ray Charles could see it (no disrespct intended Ray). They were good enough to pull the spare out and check it. It too was slighly out of round, along with the other front wheel. I stopped them at that point, nothing good could come from checking the rears at this point.
From my experience, I kinda know that those 19.5 steel wheels are just too small for this motorhome and it's weight. Has anybody else had this issue, and if so, what did you do to prevent it?
Thanks in advance, Tank
