Tire presure for SRW with 19.5 G rated tires?
Getting conflicting advice on what TV tire pressures to run. Truck is a SRW F-350 with aftermarket Vision Hauler 19.5 x 7.5 wheels. Tires are Coopper Roadmaster 245/70-19.5 G rated at 4520 lbs. @ 110# Towing Toy Hauler in sig, +/-14k# loaded, approx. 2900lb pin. Truck is only used for towing. When I bought the wheel/tire combo, I thought they told me to run 80-85. Others said run 100-110. I've been compromising and running 100 rear, 90 front. Checked tire temps last trip on an 80 degree sunny day after driving 100 highway miles @ 60-65mph. Fronts were 106F and rears were 116F. All 6 trailer tires, E rated Maxxis ST at 80#, were in the mid-upper 120's. Seems good to me but just seeing what others might have to add.6.4KViews0likes23CommentsRe: NJ Family campers
We usually start in April but things have been too busy. Finally got in a well needed quiet weekend at Alaire State Park. A big 3 mile drive. We'll get down to Seashore Campground in Cape May soon and Cape Cod is reserved for the long summer vaca. You can always find us at New Jersey Motorsports Park the second weekend of Sept for the AMA Pro Superbike races. Always a Great time....besides 8 am alarm clock Keep us posted on where your heading and we just may join in738Views0likes0CommentsRe: Jersey shore
We stay at Seashore Campsites/Campground. 10 minutes to Cape May and Ocean City isn't too far. Stay away from Wildwood. OC is a much better choice as AJMom mentioned. Nearby Cape May County Zoo is another great stop for the kids. We also like to go to Higbee Beach/Wildlife Management Area in West Cape May for a day. Secluded and away from the crowds. Philly is about a 90 minute drive.646Views0likes0CommentsRe: NJ Family campers

We do plan on camping down the shore at Allair (sp?) State Park, it's only an 8-10 drive to Point Pleasant. Hi George, Spent my childhood camping, canoeing, and fishing Swartswood. Great distant memories from the late 60's early 70's. I can remember catching salamanders, the beach, the dam/grist mill at the far end of the Lake, and an island with abandoned summer houses (likely long gone). I really have to take the family back this summer. Alaire State Park is right down the road from us and we head over for a quick weekend getaway. At times there are many Scouting groups, but always great neighbors. Don't miss the Alaire Historic Village and railroad also.482Views0likes0CommentsRe: My LEDs

As far as the double sided tape, I roughened the plastic surface of the light fixture with some fine sandpaper and haven't had any come loose since. I have had some LEDs fail but even with 3 LEDs out you hardly notice the difference in brightness. Hi tenbear. I think I probably have a different type of light fixtures than you do. All of our lights are double Light Bulbs, except the one under the Stove Hood, and in the Cargo Compartments You can just turn on one or both. Anyways, I don't have any plastic in the base plates where our LED Light Boards can be affixed to in our light fixtures. On our light fixtures, we have a "Metal Plate" to stick the LED Lights Boards to. I guess, one could sand the metal plates also and get the same effect that you got. Thought for next time maybe. A Tiny Dab, of Silicon works very well also, and would be very easy to remove if the LED Light Board ever did go out. But I will keep your idea in the back of my mind, should I ever need to repalce one. Thanks for the tip. Good Luck. Happy Travels. Dan & Jill Same Ebay seller also sells 24 LED 1141/1156 warm white "bulbs". Single or 10 pieces. Plug n play. LED bulbs124Views0likes0Comments
