Re: Tire pressure fluctuation when hot

To increase 18 psi the temp would have had to change 180*F :H :S:S:S All tire 'monitors' indicated same 18 psi increase in ALL 6 tires....suspect tire monitoring system error. YES-tire pressures will increase from COLD to HOT But you are correct to suspect an 18PSI increase. So did all 6 tires drop 18 psi when they returned to COLD temp?? TPMS are neat but I still prefer 'old school' Digital Pressure Gauge (not old old school pencil gauge :B ) Yes, they all dropped to my cold setting pressure after cooling down. I've confirmed the readings from the TPMS on a few occasions with my manual gauge as well.500Views0likes0CommentsRe: Tire pressure fluctuation when hot

Via my tire pressure monitor kit, I noticed that my tire pressures in all 6 tires increased uniformly by as much as 18psi from cold pressure on a long trip thru the desert. Is this normal? I drive a 21ft Coachman with just normal full weight loading. I typically set the tires at 68psi in the front and 75psi in the rear.2.9KViews0likes15CommentsWhere did all the AC condensate water go?
We used to see water dripping down the roof when the AC is running. Lately, even when the AC is on full blast for hours, there is no water that we can see draining out of the unit. I climbed on the roof and it's all dried. No leaking inside the cab either. Is this normal?1.3KViews0likes6CommentsRe: Engine diagnostic code scanner
You can get an OBD II Bluetooth scanner from Amazon. Plug it in your OBD port and read everything off of your smartphone. No need to decipher any codes. Works on multiple makes and models. All for a fifth of the price of an actual scan tool from an auto parts store.783Views0likes0CommentsBoating and a class C
For those of you pulling a boat with your class C, do you have another vehicle to get the boat into the water or do you just back it straight into the boat ramp? I'm thinking of getting a small jet boat and take it with us to some lake campgrounds. Also, where do you put the boat at the campsite? Do you unhitch it and push it into a spot near your coach? Pull-thru sites only?5.1KViews0likes7Comments
