Thanks to the Michelin recall of the M/S tires it came with our C got new shoes today. Six brand dandy new Michelin M/S 2's installed on Michelin's dime. Nice to get $1500 worth of tires and only paid $103 for the mount/balance.
The best news was not the free set of tires.... since day one we have been chasing an annoying rattle that seemed to come and go (mostly come). We rearranged lockers, loaded and reloaded but it kept coming back. The folks at Nexus suggested that sometimes a loose wheel cover can cause that type of rattle. Well that must have been it because once I drove out of the tire shop it was gone! Not only are the new tires much smoother but my tire guys must have managed to properly seat one or more of the wheel covers and presto, like magic it has disappeared! Took my bride for a demo ride and she could not believe the difference in the ride, handling and the new found quiet.
Was having such a good day I headed on down to the new Tucson Camping World, a very nice, brand new facility by the way, and ordered the Turbo Max 3550 power roof vent to go over the rear vent (right over the foot of our bed), and a Max Air cover for the forward vent. They will be installed next monday morning. Out the door with a 10% coupon and a nice discount on the labor under $300.... installed! :B
