Finally picked up our Northtrail yesterday from the dealer where it's been ever since we bought it. Hopefully all the issues are over. We shall see.
We have the TowMax Power Kings on it - ST225/75R15 Load Range D. Been reading a lot here and elsewhere about the general unreliability of these tires.
I also still have my old travel trailer - it's at a different dealer - almost finished being repaired - on their dime. And I will be finally selling it. (YEAAA!) But before we sell the old trailer, we are going to swap out our brand new mattress for our mattress from the old trailer. (I think the new one only has 6 springs in the entire mattress and you can feel each and every one.).
Right before we decided to sell the old trailer, we replaced all the tires in Tennessee (picked up a chunk of metal in a Sevierville Wal-Mart parking lot). All we could get that late in the day were Goodyear Marathons. They are the exact same size and load range as our Tow Max tires and have about 1200 miles on them and are about 4 months old.
Are the Marathons any better than the Tow Max's? Would it be worth my time/money to switch them out before I sell the old trailer? Or are they functionally equivalent - and neither one is something to be proud of?
