Nitrogen vs Oxygen in the tires
Hello, All:
I've been getting more excited as the day is quickly approaching when I will buy the 28A Class C from Cruise America (3 more weeks).
So I was thinking about when I rented twice from Cruise America and I remembered that all of the tires had the "Green" caps on the valve stems which indicated, to me, that all tires were filled with Nitrogen. Which I understand helps keep a more consistent reading on the tire pressure as the tires will not loose pressure based on temperature changes outside. I was just curious if any of you on this thread have units with Nitrogen filled tires? What are your thoughts? Where would you take your RV's for Nitrogen refills? I remember when I purchased a GMC Envoy and it had Nitrogen filled tires too. Eventually the tire pressures did drop and I had nowhere to take it for a fillup of Nitrogen. It was kind of a bummer so I ended up deflating all of the tires and filling them with normal oxygen. I guess it was a bit of a pain to find places that would top off the tires with Nitrogen.
As always, it is great to hear from you guys!!!
