MrVan, the same problems exist with horse, boat, and utility trailers! It is not unique to RV trailers with ST tires. Chris
Ok, so the other kids are using drugs in school so it is ok if mine does. I don't have a problem with using one time or short time use tires as long as we are informed what they are when we buy the RV. That is the issue. Then we would have a choice to change to something else if we intend to use it as a recreational vehicle that is used more than 300 miles a year. But I've heard those on this RV.net talk about if we pulled our stick house down the road it would have problems too. We didn't buy a stick house to pull down the road, we bought a RV that is supposed to be built to be pulled down the road. Or, well I thought so but I'm beginning to wonder. This is not an ethical industry.
Ethical ? Perhaps, or maybe not. I'll leave it up to you to define that. But, we can say that it is a prime example of an industry that represents "buyer beware".
As such, luck will favor the prepared. I can tell you that as sit here in the resort spending the winter in Arizona, what I see is that most folks here have tools with them in their RV's, and they know how to use them. This is a participation sport, not really a spectator sport !
