- BarcoleExplorerAccording to that website, my tires either sat in the warehouse for 20 years before the MH was built, or they were made in 2004. Number ends in 1074-2.

Do not know what age your tires are but IMHO if they are over 5 years old no matter how much tread they have or how good of shape they are in you need to replace them.
Hi gang. Newbie here...

The seller tells me they were new last fall. They certainly look it.
Great news and if you want to verify that http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tiretech/techpage.jsp?techid=11 - rehoppeExplorer

NOW, where to go? Seems like most places in Colo I want to go. Have a fire nearby! Oh well, maybe it'll get rid of some of the Beatle Kill trees. Maybe we'll head for the Flattops.
Life is good.
Have you been on Highway 12 Highway of Legends? Several great camping areas our favorite is Bear Lake near Cuchara. http://takearoadtrip.com/hwy-legends.html
Only been to the one just west of Trinidad, nice CG. Must admit I was underwhelmed by the pay to shower amenities, however.
Little concerned about the smoke from the NM fires as well. Got smoked out in the Arkansas River Valley @ Nathrop over Memorial day weekend, and that's straight west of Colo Springs. Couldn't even see Mt Princeton from my front porch in the morning and again in the evening. Tough breathing as well. The whole state is on 'Burn Ban' now as well. Although the latest one was supposedly started by someone shooting a propane tank. Oh boy, I Dots are abundant. Must have been using tracer, I'm guessing.
Anybody know if Wyoming is on fire or not? I haven't heard of any on the news here in Denver, but that's not necessarily the whole story either. - TyroneandGladysExplorer

Took the cover off.
Fixed the Vinyl edge trim on the the front Driver's side. (It had shrunk from age)
Checked the Battery water. Better news, the new converter was plugged in all winter, and the batteries did not need any water! Yeah! I had connected the cranking battery to the house batteries with a double ended 'cigar lighter' cord from my little 'emergency battery/air pump'. It worked well, all three batteries were full of water and sparks. $185 for new converter, well spent, it seems.
Fired the Genny. Let run for an hour.
Flushed the Pink stuff out, and filled the FW tank. Going to drain it today, and refill.
Drove it around the block.

Hi gang. Newbie here...
Bought a used '94 Four Winds 28' about a month ago. We breed and show Standard Poodles and bought the MH mostly so that we can do more than one-day dog shows.
In the past month, I've had the state safety inspection done, lube, oil and filter, repaired the fridge which wouldn't work on LP or AC. Also fixed a small leak in the joint between the gray water tank and the gate valve.
I've removed, cleaned, and reinstalled all vent covers, polished the headlight lenses, and cleaned the inside stem to stern. Yesterday, I changed the oil and filter in the GenSet.
Over the past weekend, I removed the passenger side rear bed, rerouted the water and electric lines and installed three dog crates. Next comes a shelf over the crates to hold three more crates. Not crazy about putting the dogs in the roughest riding area but that was really the only option.
Shakedown cruise to West Friendship, MD over the July 4th weekend for a 4-day show. - pianotunaNomad IIIHi,
Turned on hot water heater in preparation for flushing the black water tank. - pianotunaNomad IIIHi,
Scrubbed the loop trip and went part way by car. So the trip was just Saskatoon to Regina. - BarcoleExplorerHi gang. Newbie here...
