Re: Tire Pressure and Temperature Variation
Yes, 100 is what is shown on the tire/weight table in the motorhome. We have not weighed it yet, but we have very little in the MH as of now. All bays are mostly empty. I am currently using 105 for cold tire pressure which is 5psi over the label. Thanks, Rick695Views0likes0CommentsTire Pressure and Temperature Variation
Just installed the TST TPMS system on our Canyon Star. Took the MH over to the gas station for topping off, and returned to the storage building, about 2 miles round trip. The tire pressures came up about 5-6 psi and the temperatures rose about 15 degrees. My cold tire pressure is set at 105 psi. I am curious how much rise in pressure and temperatures others see at highway speeds on hot days, i.e. 95 degrees. Thanks, Rick2.4KViews0likes9CommentsBattery Charge Line
My dealer installed a charge line to my toad, (Jeep Wrangler), battery. Do I need a controller to control the rate of charging on the battery. I have a RVI auxiliary brake system for the jeep, and I noticed that RVI sells a towed battery charger. Just curious as to what others do that have a charge line to their toad battery.

I was wondering how many owners who tow Jeep Wranglers use some type of protection from gravel, rocks, etc, to protect the front of their Jeep. I have considered the Blue Ox Kargard II, but not sure it is needed with my overhang and the mudflaps directly behind the wheels. We have a Canyon Star 38 foot motor home.

I would appreciate any feedback on the two systems above in the subject box. I have a 2016 Jeep Wrangler and need to reach a decision on one or the other. The RVI system does not use the seat for leverage, but the floor board recess. The jeep floor board is somewhat shallow, and I can not imagine the lip is high enough to firmly hold the RVI box from moving when it actuates. However, I like the streamline design better than the Patriot. I have ruled out permanent solutions as there not any installers near us who have installed many of the permanent versions, such as SMI products, etc. So, depending upon feedback on the RVI use in Jeeps, I may go with the Blue Ox. Another concern is the ratchet device on the RVI. I have read some owner postings where they set it incorrectly and damaged their brakes. Thanks for any and all input. Rick3.3KViews0likes11Comments
