Re: Roof repairs

If you think a dealer is going to point out flaws on a used TT's you have your head in the sand. If you trade something in, it is up to the dealer to inspect, as you when making a purchase. I did not say cover it up, or defraud, I said keep your mouth shut and don't point it out. I see you are a saint though "666."403Views0likes0CommentsRe: black water tank smell
I would vote on dumping more often as well. Try every 3-4 days. Use plenty of water, actually the more the better. For number 2, I always flush at least enough for a second full bowl of water. Since these toilets do not have a holding basin, many tend not to use enough water. I have found over the last 15 years camping, plenty of extra water is key to avoid many tank problems.562Views0likes0CommentsRe: Roof repairs
After you raise the roof membrane, there would be some type of plywood underlayment stapled or nailed to the roof trusses. That underlayment wood need to be removed as well to access the roof trusses. You would have to remove the entire roof to do this correctly. Not an easy job by any means, and would not be recommended by anyone not experienced in doing so. Once you remove the roof membrane, you will not be able to reuse it. Adhesive would need to be reapplied to underlayment then a new membrane. All roof openings will also need to be resealed along with the rain strips running along the sides. I would pursue having the manufacture address since this issued occurred originally under warranty previously. If they will not help, IMO, trade it in for a new one and do not point the issue out to the dealer.407Views0likes0Comments- 1.1KViews0likes7Comments

I ask because the TT I just bought has one year old Towmax PowerKing tires, 235/80R16 load range E tires, rated at 3,520#. My TT has a GVW of only 10,000# so I have 4,000# of lee way. I just put 3,000 miles on them on not the best of roadways that included a fair amount of gravel. I've gone over them and don't see any problems with them. Bill Tire went off like a shotgun. Heard it before I felt it. My daughter was driving behind me at the time, she said everything looked fine, then there was a second of smoke, then bang she blew.380Views0likes0CommentsRe: Towmax PowerKing blow out pics
This is a Travel Trailer. 36.2', dry: 945 tongue, 8500, 10600 GVW. Got it, makes perfect sense that the tongue weight would allow more room for the tires to meet weight. I am still going on caution to upgrade to Load E with the thinking of stiffer sidewalls and more room to allow the tires not to be so close to load. Taking the theory of towing with 80/20 capacity, probably wouldn't hurt to have the same mindset for the tires.67Views0likes0Comments
