Re: Class A tires
OP here. Just to confirm - I do check cold tire pressure before each trip. I keep a compressor onboard just for this reason. So far my longest trip in the MH was about 125 miles each way. Also as for weight, Because my trips are local I have never had to load up my MH. My fresh water tank is never more than 1/2 full. My grey and black tanks are empty before each trip. My basement storage has does not have all that much in it. We have never had to pack for more than a week so we dont carry much in the way of food or clothing. So I guess we tend to be underweight.537Views0likes0CommentsRe: Class A design suggestions

This is AWESOME!! All RV's should have it.436Views0likes0CommentsRe: Door size

It was close, but they fit without removing fridge or coach doors. On our previous coach, I removed a jack knife sofa without disassembling it through the door and replaced it with a residential rocker/recliner brought in through the door. What are you planning on replacing? I tried to remove a chair. It was a barrel style living room chair. I pulled the very heavy swivel stand off and it was still to big to fit out the door. The chair was in perfect condition but was not needed for how we use the RV. I ended up having to saw it in half. I felt bad for wasting a nice chair but found no other way to get it out.227Views0likes0CommentsClass A tires
When my rig is parked I keep covers on my tires. Before each time I drive it, I wash it and treat my tires with a spray on protectant. With that said: Do you replace the tires based on age, wear or sidewall condition? My tires are 5 years old, have under 2000 miles on them and look new. If I need to replace them based on age, what is a good, safe brand that is sold at a reasonable price? Tire size is a 22.5 and camper is a 22,000 pound unit.2.2KViews0likes13CommentsRe: Does Your class A Squeak and Creak ?

Ours does and I am on a squeak/creak eradication campaign. DW tells me to give it a rest and just live with a few squeaks and creaks. After all it is a house going down the road at 55 mph.. Only when I drive it. :)488Views0likes0CommentsRe: Class A design suggestions

Here are a few suggestions I have for Class A RV manufacturers: 1: Put an exit door in the bathroom. It gives me a second emergency exit and it keeps people from tracking up my RV when they use my bathroom. 2: Put the TV where it can be comfortably viewed from most of the seats in the living room area. Most of the time it is not set up in a location that can be comfortably viewed by more than 1 or 2 people. 3: How about some bigger windows on the camping/passenger side of the RV? That is the side that you are more likely to keep the shades open on. Let some light in!! 4: Please no rugs. Give me tile or a high quality vinyl. If I want a rug I can buy a throw rug and throw it away after it gets stained within 24 hours of then I bought it. 5: Bigger windows in the bedroom. I like fresh air and most bedrooms have 2 tiny windows that do nothing. 6: Windows that actually open!! New RVs have the tilt out style windows. I like that you can open them in the rain but they dont let in much of a breeze. I like lots of fresh air. I live in a city so when I get to RV I want the fresh air coming in. 7: I dont want my fresh water inlet in the same storage bin as my black water drain. Seems like common sense. 8: Keep all of my water connections in a different bin than my power chord. Again, more common sense.3.6KViews0likes36CommentsRe: Air compressors
My suggestion is to get a small compressor that has a true output of over 125 PSI. That way you can pump up your RV tires too. Why not have one that fills every tire you have with you? The one I have came from Lowes and was under $150. It is a small compressor with a tank. It takes a while but it can fill my 110 PSI RV tires too and believe me you want to make sure your RV tires are set to the correct levels.419Views0likes0Comments
