Re: Florida State Park Reservation window changes
Snowbirds will still be able to camp in state parks if they wish,they just won't be able to lock up sites for 14 days than move to another state park for another 14 days and repeat throughout the season. I've lived in Florida for 60 years and have never been able to camp at bahia Honda. I also don't believe it will have a large impact on tourist visiting Florida. It may help inland parks stay full as the popular keys and coastal parks will still be near capacity....2KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Florida State Park Reservation window changes
I'll take what I can get but wish they would address the cancelation policy which would stop most of the abuse... Increase the cost to cancel to fifty percent of the reservation fee and require the whole reservation to be canceled....2KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Truck tires
The truck is a 2003 3500 ext cab two wheel drive diesel dually. Running stock size tires 215/85R16. I only had one front tire seperate,that was a BFG.rest have been on the rear. I thought about going to a large tire,but was afraid it would make the rear space even closer. Since three of the four rear are new replacement Goodyear and the other has 15k I'm just staying with them for now. As far as posting photos may be easy for some. Just like rebuild a Pontiac engine is easy for me...979Views0likes0CommentsRe: Truck tires
Guess l was hoping to get a consensus on the best available tires to use on a dulley carrying a 5000 lb TC. I'll probably look into the Toyo brand for my next set. I believe heat could be causing most of my separation issues as in summer months as read on my TST monitor I can see Temps reaching 110 degrees with pressure rising at least 10 to 12 percent. A few months back I opened the trunk of a car I own to find a BFG TA exploded Tire was 6 years old with very few miles used as spare,also vehicle is always garaged. I tried to post a photo, but couldn't. I'd be happy to email or text the photo to anyone to post. Just private message me..... So its my opinion most if not all tires are not made well these days. Just read trailer or class A form...978Views0likes0CommentsRe: Truck tires
Thanks for the replies. Since they prorated three of the four Goodyear tires on the rear. and the other has 15k miles I plan to run them for awhile. I'm aware Westlake tires aren't supposed to be a top tier tire,but so far they have out perform supposedly better brand tires. The rims and size are stock and I have around an inch between the duals when loaded. Temperature and psi is monitored with a TST system. The BFG separated on the front first,then two later on the rear. The wranglers were only on the rear, since the front were nearly new..... Buzzcut1 I thought about a spacer between the rears. Could your provide the type your using?? Thanks to all and anymore thoughts appreciated.352Views0likes0CommentsTruck tires
I've had very bad luck with tires on my dually due to separation issues. I'm only getting 15k to 20k before this happens and 3.5 to 4 years. I only have the camper on the truck about 3500 miles a year, and the truck is always in the garage if the camper is off which is most of the time. The camper is a 2000 alpenlite 1150 limited, and weight is around 4800 lbs ready to travel. Sticker on the camper states 3600 lbs. I've owned this camper since 2004 and had the rig on the scales back then. I remembered I was under the capacity then however I'm unable to locate the form now. I plan to have it on the scales on my next trip, but thats not till august. The tires have all been E rated and are run at the 80 psi cold while carrying the camper monitored with a TSP system. The first set were BFG commercial. The second goodyear wrangler. I have a lesser name brand on the front WEstlake that are 5 years old and appear to be wearing well, they were the only one available at the time I had a failure while traveling. Wondering if others have had issue and what brand seems to be working for others.......Thanks4.8KViews0likes25Comments
