There is just enough room for a sound bar. I had to raise the TV a little. This sound bar is a VIZIO S3821 with Bluetooth Subwoofer.

Here is a web site I found pretty interesting: Enter the DOT code and it will give you a tire facts report. http://www.tiresafetygroup.com/

Good point, however the Goodyear G614 is only rated 230lbs more than the TowMax, G614 3,750lbs @ 110psi vs. TowMax 3520lbs @ 80psi. The G614 is a whole lot more tire to have a rating only 230lbs more than the TowMax. I don't know how the TowMax got it's rating of 3,520lbs, maybe standing still...

Hate to burst your bubble SeattleLion, but you are doing it too. How do you know there are millions of Tow Max tires on the road? The problem with facts and statistics, they can be presented in a manner to achieve any result that's desired. The scope of an analysis on the Tow Max tire failures...

Sajo, Yes, this is what I bought. Goodyear Unisteel® G614 RST Tire Size Load Range Side Wall Thread Depth (32s) Apprvd. Rim Widths Meas. Rim Width Overall Width Outside Diameter Max Load at Infla. (PSI) Single *LT235/85R16 G BW 12 6.50 6.50 9.5 30.7 3750@110 *This tire requires a...

Josh, become familiar with the symbols on the display. The first alarm we had while rolling down the road was "low battery" from a sensor. My reaction to the alarm was to get our rig stopped as quickly as possiable, I was very glad it was just the sensor battery. Good idea to stock up on CR1632...

Here is a fact: "I am glad I got the China junk off our 15,500lb BC." Goodyear G614 3,750lbs @ 110psi

Here's food for thought: the person towing the trailer to the dealer has no vested interest in tire life, other than to get it to the dealership in one piece. Bouncing over curbs, towing too fast, not checking tire pressure. I'm pretty sure this is what happened in my case. All 4 Powerking...

When AC power is limited (30amp or less) I operate the HW heater and refrigerator on propane (12v). I also define running on generator power as "limited", generating your own power is very expensive compared to buying it. I only run the generator to charge the house batteries while dry camping...

Situation: We operate our HW heater on propane and electric when we need quick recovery (wife and I shower back to back). After our showers, I shut the propane switch off. Sometimes I forget to shut the propane off, and sure enough, about 2:00am I hear the propane burner kick on, using...

This is what's possible when you remove the outdoor bistro on a BC 3690. This is a 46db Bosch.

I'm not sure what the Bistro components weigh, the dishwasher is 83lbs + HW heater 23lbs + 4gal water 32lbs = 138lbs. The production weight of our trailer is 12,400, this includes dual pane windows, 6pt level up, and 4 door fridge. The GVWR is listed at 15,500. These mods are definitely using up...

The access door was relocated to the off door side by the shore power hookup. I don't think the volume is the same as the rear access door version. I keep power cord and sewer hoses there, not room for much more. Everything's a trade off, and the 3690 had the fewest number of compromises.

No, the dishwasher will face inward. I'm just using the void left by the outdoor bistro. The sales person made the same mistake when I was describing the mod . When you look at the first pic, you would be looking at the rear of the dishwasher.

We ordered our 3690 without the bistro. Here are some pics of the 4gal hot water installed. I am using a 3 way valve to draw hot water off the main hot water heater when we are dry camping, when we are on shore power this gem will deliver hot water to the rear kitchen immediately. It will also...
