Re: Time for tires so Maxxis or Goodyear Endurance?
Neither, I have had catastrophic explosive failures with both. I do use a TPMS and it worked just fine after the tire blew, no indication of a problem before hand. The GY Marathon have 35 complaints thus far for the same explosive failure, mostly the 235/80/16 E. NTSB Tire Complaints. Running a 10.5K two axle TT. I went with the truck tire 235/85/16 E as the clearance was there. Strongly suggest you consider. WDP894Views0likes0CommentsRe: Arctic Fox 32A
Have had one for 2 years. While most believe Northwood is the holy grail of quality. I am one owner that spends more time under and behind cabinets to check everything out. Started bad out of the gate, all 4 brakes were heavily greased (finger pointing on this), 75% of the cabinet hinge screws were stripped, carpet staples were not set deep enough,DC connections were not twisted before crimping, receptacle wire punch downs were done incorrectly(dangerous), loose screw terminal connections on both AC and DC power buss. More sawdust and cut outs in unseen areas than they cleaned up, debris in clogged shower drain, toilet set one inch left and back, lid would not stay up, slide mechanism drive gear not pinned or tightened, A leak around a poorly sealed window, air conditioner plenum wasn’t sealed. I would give this build a C minus. Your mileage may vary. Some will say that is what warranties are for, I say none of this stuff should of happened. The BEST warranty is not needed or used.

And the hitch ball requires a special large thin wall socket, your neighbor will prolly not have it. I took my ball and head to the local dealer and for $5.00 he tightened her up.

Not starting a debate but a change in reciprocity agreements will effect some RVers. Legal review conducted in 2015 pursuant to 18.2-308.014 of the Code of Virginia identified several jurisdictions that currently fail to meet the statutory requirements for recognition of the concealed carry permits they issue. As a result of that review, effective February 1, 2016, concealed carry permits issued by the following jurisdictions are NO LONGER VALID in Virginia: Alaska,Arizona,Arkansas,Delaware,Florida,Idaho,Indiana,Kansas,Kentucky Louisiana,Minnesota,Mississippi,Montana,Nebraska,New Mexico,North Carolina,North Dakota,Ohio,Pennsylvania,South Carolina,South Dakota,Tennessee,Washington,Wisconsin,Wyoming.
