Earlier this summer I left the daughter's home with the 9 year old granddaughter and her friend and drove 202 miles to the 5th wheel. Spent 45 minutes unloading the truck and hooking up to the 5th wheel. Then we drove an additional 379 miles to Lazy Day Campground Danville, MO arriving with 15 minutes to spare before they closed the swimming pool for the night.
Next day we drove 449 miles to Sioux Falls, NE arriving with 20 minutes to spare so the girls could go swimming before they closed the pool.
We did the final leg 402 miles the next day arriving in Grand Forks, ND where we met grandma.
I couldn't have asked for two better young ladies to accompany me on that trip.
We spent a week out there drove about 200 miles spent another week there in the Nisswa MN area before heading home with grandma.
We took 4 days to get home driving a more manageable 300 miles per day on our Maxxis tires.
Including our trip last year we have now put around 13,000 miles on those 3 year old tires with nary a problem.
This is my first set of Maxxis and I haven't changed my driving style. This compares to 2 blowouts on factory installed that were less than 2 years old and 5,000 miles.
With my other 5th wheel I had 4 blowouts. 2 were dry rotted but the other 2 blowouts came on fairly new tires with very little miles on them.
