Re: Generator choices
I have a Champion generator, it fits in the back of the truck, with the tonneau cover closed if needed, and powers my refrigerator and HVAC if needed. it's not a Honda, but has electric start, so I can start and stop it from inside the camper, is quieter than a jobsite generator. We found ours on sale for about $300.642Views0likes0CommentsRe: Tire pressure before going south
Lyle, Thanks for the reply. We upgraded the tires from D's to E's when we bought the trailer in 2012. I this is the third tire of that new set that has failed. I am beginning to think that it may have just been a bad set of tires. Any any case we replaced the remaining tire after the last blowout and do not have that set on anymore. I am just trying to make sure that I have not left some base uncovered. I really do not like changing tires on the side of the interstate.302Views0likes0CommentsRe: Tire pressure before going south
I just returned from Christmas in Cocoa Beach. We left Tn with the tires at about 78 psi cold. I have TPMS on the trailer, and by the the time we got to Atlanta the pressure was around 85-86 psi. Just south of Atlanta, we had a blowout, and the next morning a 2nd blowout. Replaced the two tires with Goodyear Marathons (only option on Sunday morning) and they set the pressure to 70 psi and suggested I look at the camper recommendation. I found it on the name plate and it was 65 psi. Well, with all that said, two blowouts in 200 miles, no spare for the 2nd, I am curious about what happened and if air pressure had a effect. The two tires that blew were put on summer 2012.273Views0likes0CommentsRe: Traveling with 5er & generator
We have a Champion generator and run it in the back of the truck without issue. We placed a CO detector in the bedroom, and it has never gone off. I secure it to the bed of the truck with a bike lock, and it gives me enough flexibility to turn it and port the exhaust out the side of the truck when stopped257Views0likes0Comments
