Re: Arctic Fox black tank valve glued in?
The 3" Bladex valve is glued and clamped to the black tank. The 4 bolts of the valve can be loosened and the blade body itself can be removed for maintenance or replacement. You may have to loosen the 3" pipe on the output side of the valve to provide some play for removing the valve body.851Views0likes0CommentsRe: Blowout took out my slide wiring

That's a shame, as I thought Carlisle was getting their act together after making some sorry excuses for tires around 2010. It sounds like you may have pulled a wire loose from the brake, maybe inside the drum/axle. A lot of the brake wires can be daisy-chained together, so if you lose one wire, you may lose another also. Carlisle will almost certainly say that the tire failed due to a road hazard that caused it to go flat. GY is the =only= company that I've ever heard of paying for damage, and that was only on the G614, AFAIK. Not saying you shouldn't try, but your own insurance company will be the one paying. Lyle I had two GY Marathons blowout 2 days apart and GY covered the $3,100 damage on my 5er.464Views0likes0CommentsRe: Nashville TN to Boone NC
I-40 to I-77 is the easiest/longest route, with interstate and 4 lane all the way. I-40 to I-81 is more challenging if you take US-19E out of Elizabethton to SR-194 to Newland then SR-181 to Linville then SR-105 into Boone. The most challenging is US-19E out of Elizabethton to US-321 out of Hampton which I did pulling my 40' 5ver. Lots of tight curves and hills. I opted for the 105/181/194/19E route back to Elizabethton.522Views0likes0CommentsRe: tire pressure
I'd keep them at the 110 psi that is indicated on the sidewall. Under inflating will cause more sidewall flexing which = more heat. Of course you can run them at any psi you'd like, but I kinda trust the engineers that designed the tire and say run 'em at 110 psi. That's what I run my S637 ST235/80R16 LRG Sailuns at on my 15,500 rig.104Views0likes0Comments
