Today(yesterday actually) I removed my over-sized BRAND NEW 245/75R16 10 ply rear tires that rubbed each other on the inside-bottom(un-safe), and replaced them with the 215/85R16 10-ply of the same brand/design.
I install my own tires and my tire salesman took back the wrong size, so I was able to do this at practically no out-of-pocket expense.
while the tires were off in back, I made a 18x10x18 90-degree bent piece of tin to repair damage that was sustained in the inner fender well when the previous owner had a blow out. I cut some scrap tin, bent it 90 degrees, drilled holes, mounted the steel, sealed it with sealer around the edges and at each mounting screw, painted it black, and essentially repaired a huge problem area.
I then went to the RV store and bought a new tow hitch and ball, some seat covers, and a steering wheel cover.
all this, while it was 102 degrees yesterday.
I hope my Jambo realizes how much love has been put in to getting it road-worthy/ready for the long tow in two weeks.
