Heavier Tires on Travel Trailer
I have been riding on the original China made Westlake tires on my 2015 Flagstaff 26FKWS travel trailer. The original tires were load range C on 14 inch rims. I have since ordered new Goodyear Endurance tires in the same tire size but with a heavier load range D rating. The old tires listed a maximum pressure rating of 50 lbs, the new ones maximum are 80 lbs. I'm wondering what pressure I should run the new tires at because they already have a greater load range carrying capacity but am concerned if I run them at 80 lbs will it be too stiff a ride on the trailer. I have the torsion type axels on this trailer.Should I go with 60 lbs or run at the full 80 psi? NOTE: Did you see the "Announcement : ★★READ BEFORE POSTING HERE★★" located at the top of this forum?

I'm looking for the best winter route for pulling a travel trailer from Lincoln NB through to Mesa AZ. I will be trying to watch the weather as I travel from Winnipeg, MB straight South to NB but am not sure which is the best route from Lincoln NB to Mesa for winter weather and road conditions.3KViews0likes9CommentsPests and dangerous plant hazards in Arizona
Going to do our first extended trip to Arizona this winter as a CDN Snowbird. We spent 3 weeks in Apache Junction in 2000 and met the lovely Choa (Jumping) Cactus but what other pests and plants does a novice snowbird look out for in Arizona during the winter months?4.8KViews0likes22CommentsRe: Bullydog GT Diesel Tuner
I'm surprised at the wide range of opinions on this device. One of the advantages of using the Bullydog Triple Dog Diesel Tuner was that it acts as a multi-gauge to read out things like egt and boost pyro 1and 2 whether your running stock or a tune. Also you can preset it to drop to "no power" mode if certain pre-set parameters are met.1KViews0likes0CommentsBullydog GT Diesel Tuner
I purchased a GT Bullydog Diesel tuner for my 2008 - 2500 Ram with 6.7 Cummins primarily to get better mileage around town and better mileage and performance while towing my travel trailer. I also added an AFe cold air intake. I believe I am getting better mileage with these improvements but have not taken the Ram to the mountains to see how it performers there with the add ons. My question is, should I have the truck in "Tow" mode when trailer towing when using the Bullydog tuner in the "Tow" power setting or just leave it up to the BD tuner to do everything. Is the BD tuner just controlling power and does it play nice with the Rams tow mode or do they work against each other?6.9KViews0likes17Comments
