Thanks oops forgot about the tongue.. but still aren't they cutting things close without much of a safety margin considering pot holes speed humps overweight and the like... I guess Chinese engineering is hitting America as well ??? and yes the tire load ratings are similarly slim as well.
Not Chinese engineering--good old American capitalism. Maximize profit by spending the least they can get away with. The RV industry has become especially bad about this since its consolidation into a handful of huge corporations.
Isn't that the same as Chinese Engineering ?
Actually a little Chinese Engineering might be what is needed to get these American Engineering a swift kick in the head and cause a little chaos
Kinda like when Datsun, Nisson, Toyota showed up and Detroit had to change.
Elkhart Indiana could use a reality check.....sooner the better
