Re: Garage wallpaper?

Then see what color you want after you take color fan home in RV and look. Then back to Sherwood Williams. My local one has maybe 8 or 10 binders of vinyl wall paper that I was able to real close to what I wanted. Takes longer than I thought looking thru them. Then get on-line and many places to get what you need. But much hard to match up colors looking on-line. Make sure your water damage is fixed first. And has dried out enough for something to stick. Yes, definetly.211Views0likes0CommentsRe: Toy hauler door hinge replacement.
fred42 wrote: This appears to be the standard Lippert ramp door like I have. I found that the end caps are pressed on and not removable while the hinge is installed. Fortunately, the aluminum hinge rod is not connected to the end caps as you might expect on one end. Get a Torx T55 socket bit for a socket ratchet wrench and remove the three hinge bolts. With the door closed, it will be fine temporarily with one less hinge. You may have to tap the hinge off, I don't recall. Door parts can be ordered at the Lippert store: https://store.lci1.com/products/cargo-entry-door-parts?___store=english&p=2 6 of mine are bent. lol. SO i will have to supprt the door and go from there. Thanks for your info.. I ordered them.558Views0likes0CommentsToy hauler door hinge replacement.
I dont know if this is the best place to post this but i need some help. I opened my toy hauler door to far and i bent a couple of the hinges. How do you slide these off???? Here is a picture. I know how to support the door and what not, but im just wondering if the end caps just pop off or what. Thanks.1.4KViews0likes3CommentsRe: A story of 6 blown tires.

Didn't realize you needed that information to validate my post. The only reason it's nice to have that info is because many come on here complaining about blowouts-and after a few careful questions we find out they are in all likelihood overweight. No disrespect intended. Ahhh. Gotcha. I basically weight myself whenever something is different. I only have about 3 configurations I tow in. Even at my highest weight I still have over 2500 lbs left in tire capacity. Trailer max is 18k and the highest I have been is 17600. I think I will be happier with these tires just with the thickness alone.530Views0likes0CommentsRe: A story of 6 blown tires.
Bull Rider wrote: We had four Hercules tires fail on the same day. One blew out, and the other three had tread separation when we checked them at the tire dealer. Replaced all four with new Maxxis. Not overloaded, driving at 60 MPH. Straight road, inflated to proper pressure and monitored by TPMS. If these failures were on passenger car tires the problem would have been fixed years ago. But as there are few fatalities, no one pay much attention to the issue. Remember the Firestone tire uproar about ten years ago? I'm just so glad I didn't have a Huggggge tow bill or severe trailer damage. Insurance would cover that but I would of been without a trailer forever. These guys are slow around here. 6 weeks just to check alignment.530Views0likes0CommentsRe: A story of 6 blown tires.
path1 wrote: Do you happen to know how much weight you had on them compared to max load (reserve capacity)? (Also from personal experience Les Schwab. My local Les Schwab lied to me. They told me Maxxis was on back order over 3 months to get them. I made the mistake of telling them when our trip was so they pimped their Tow Max. "There is no way to get Maxxis within 2 weeks"). Tires that I have do have a lot of reserve capacity for the weight I'm hauling around. That's why I'm wondering how much reserve capacity you had. Trailer was 17k. Tires are a 3500 load. So i had tons of room. It took me a couple days to get my tires. Lucky for me I run a tire/automotive shop so I get them at cost. It most definetly wasn't an overload issue. When the tire manufacturer has no idea and two seperate professionals have no idea I have to blame that on the quality. I'm not kidding when I day how light and thin these tires felt.530Views0likes0CommentsRe: A story of 6 blown tires.
trail-explorer wrote: That one tire in the photo looks misaligned - the tire to the left. That was my thought also. So i had had the axles measured and alignment checked out perfect. I didn't believe what they said so I went and looked at another road warrior and the axle placement is identical. It sits a bit forward in the wheel well. As for weight. I have measured myself on 3 different trips depending on my load. I have never been over 17600. This trip I had no water and only 2 dirtbikes and a quad. I would guess in the high 16s. I had well over 4000lbs of tire rating left. I'm sure it was the heat and the fact these tires are horribly made.530Views0likes0CommentsRe: A story of 6 blown tires.
guidry wrote: Same thing happened to me on my new 5th wheel last year. Except the tire manufacturer wouldn't even talk to me because they only warranty for one year and I was 3 months past! Tire separation on 3 of my 4 tires. Thank goodness for TPMS! Saved my tail! wow I was actually 5 months out of my one year warranty and they paid for a pro-rated amount in 80 percent.530Views0likes0Comments
