Re: Tires
You grossly over inflated your tires. Do not inflate to the max of the tire as you are not pulling max weight trailer. If you pulled 26,000 lbs. then inflate to 120. A G tire with a 12,000 trailer only needs 80 to 85 lbs., not 120. Now all the expert tire people, who cannot use a cell phone, will give you advice.366Views0likes0CommentsRe: Residential Refrig
We have a residental as well and also have solar and 5.5 Onan. When we dry camp the solar helps during the day a little. We run the gen 2 hours mid morning and 2 hours late afternoon. We are careful not opening the refrig unless necessary. We are also careful using other elect appliances. We have dry camped up to four days in sucession this way. Storage tanks are a bigger problem.551Views0likes0CommentsRe: Tire wear outside rear curb side
All RV dealers are open if they want to be. You did not described how the tire is wearing. It is not unusual for the front curb side to wear uneven as the inside tire does not turn, it slides. It may be your rear is sliding on some turns as well. Do you have China bombers or more expensive American or Europian tires? Camping World should be open. I have family that manages a large CW store in Texas and they and open and overflowing with business. It may be state to state on who is open.600Views0likes0CommentsRe: Info on 5th wheel brand
Not true about multiple day dry camping. We ended up buying a 2019 Forest River 24 foot Cardinal Luxury. It has a residential refrigerator, two batteries and solar. We added a 5.5 Onan gen. We have been out four consecutive days dry camping and only moved to drain waste tanks and add fresh water. We run the gen 2 hours in the morning and two in the afternoon. We make sure we have full sun on the solar panels. The electrical monitors keep us in a safe range.654Views0likes0CommentsRe: Larger 5th wheels in/on state and federal parks
Length is only one consideration when buying to camp in State and Federal RV parks. Another consideration is utilities. Most public RV parks do not have full utilities. We do some dry camping if that is all that is available. It is not first choice. When I backpacked I had none of that and it was great. I have grown out a little and have different ideas of fun. Public parks are more crowded and have more kids. Don't get me wrong I love the kids down the street. And love to see them having fun down there.558Views0likes0CommentsRe: California Non-commercial class A license ***New question***
