HEY we need a sticky for our TT pics!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Viken]

I was just looking at 5er's, toy haulers, and slide in, sites and they have a sticky for their rig pics. We don't. I just saw that. Is it just me or do we TT guys and gals need a sticky for our rigs. I say yes we do.

You never know. I've been completely miserable there, and then I've had wonderful breezes off the water. If you get a waterfront site, it's rare if you don't have constant breezes. The trick is "waterfront". lol. I hope to reserve some for this summer. About anywhere in our area is miserable with high humidity in July and August, but this June was bad.

We were at Carlyle Lake, Carlyle, IL, in June. We were so miserable we had to sit in the pool, which they keep at a very cool temp.
Lots of shade, though 🙂

Only other neighbor on our loop. Several waterfront sites empty. We'd never get these in the summer.

Folks, I will again remind all members, new and old alike, that maximum picture size here on the forum is 640X480 pixels MAX...

If you don't know how to resize your photo, simply insert the text "width=640" preceded by a space immediately after the .jpg extension in your picture syntax... It is NOT necessary to insert a height statement - the forum software will automatically resize your photo to the proper ratio by inserting the width statement... An example of the proper syntax is shown below - please note the width statement after the 'jpg extension...





Help me out here folks please - - - I'm spending way too much time editing photos to the proper size 😞 ...

Thanks

Thought blowouts with decent tires were a thing of the past. We lost pressure, no blowout, in four tires on three vehicles this summer. The oldest tire was an '08. Only one had a screw in it. I hear now that many tires that once were USA made are now manufactured in China. Don't know if it's true, but I'm going to find out. Used to live in Des Moines many years ago. If I recall right they had a Firestone and a Goodyear plant. Have to see if they're still there.

This is our third trailer and the first time experiencing tire trouble. We bought our present trailer used. It is a '06 model and had been sitting for almost that long. The tires didn't have 1K miles on them. The tread was great and they all looked like new. Don't know how true this is, but I've heard tires setting up for any length of time was bad for them, especially Radials. 😞

You've just confirmed all the expert advice that for RV tires, age and condition does not determine their longevity. Maybe I didn't say that right, but what I mean is that, as you said, anything sitting that long, no matter how good the tread is, should be replaced. On our last TT purchased new in 2006, tires started to show crazes in the sidewall in late 2008, so at our dealer's advice (no, we didn't buy the tires from them), we replaced them before our first trip the following spring. The tire tread was excellent, no abnormal wear patterns, just the hairline cracks. Never had a problem. Key is to find that manufacturer code on the sidewall, if you can. The ones we replaced didn't have them and any and all contacts to the RV manufacturer went unanswered. Bottom line is that we sucked up the expense for the sake of being safe and we were. Better to be safe than sorry and isn't there another cliche . . . an ounce of prevention . . . Anyway, glad that no one was hurt, well, maybe just the pocket book.
