fireflipper Well I am sure that every one will have a different opinion on this matter. I for one am very happy with the Goodyear 614's. I put around twenty thousand miles on the first set and still had more than half the tread left, no tire problems. The second set had grooves worn in them...

Fireflipper Kognito I have a infra red temp gauge and on my last trip the temp of the 614's after traveling for several hundred miles at around 65 mph was just above 140. I always keep the pressure at the max 110 psi due to the weight I am carrying.

Fireflipper Kathyo We have the splendide combo with the vent. It takes awhile to dry the clothes but like you, my wife does not like the dirty washers in the campgrounds. Se has found that if you take the clothes out a couple of times during the drying cycle and shake them out a bit, it does...

Fireflipper 5catfam It is an easy add on. If you feel comfortable about drilling a hole in the side of the truck for the plug, the wiring is color coded to match on most 7 pin plugs. I simply used splice connectors in the wiring harness under the truck and taped everything back up good and...

Fireflipper I know this will not make the bugs go away, but from living in Fl. for forty years I have found that some roaches will come in by way of grocery bags, your pants anything they can cling to. The boric acid seemed to work best for us.

Fireflipper Jack, make sure you put some sort of heat shield above the fire place. Some models get hot on the top and it could dry the wood out and start a fire. I would hate to see someone lose something that they love. Especially the second home.

Fireflipper Jack is right on this one. I have a 2005 Grand Canyon and that the spring shackles and wheels were rolling under the fiver by accident while in South Dakota. Limped to R.V. Capitol in Elkhart and Lippert did the repair. Ate up four new tires before the problem was found. Everyone...

Fireflipper Katkens Had two friends pick kup their new Big Countrys from R.V.s For LEss this past weekend. Spent four days with them in Pigeon Forge. They love them. Good luck with yours and I am sure they will have plenty of questions when they finally join the forum.

Fireflipper This was straight from the factory. They still making the Landmarks, just changing the models and the floor plans are changing to the side isle instead of the center isles. I saw one at the factory about a month ago. I was not real impressed with the side isle , but it did allow for...

Fireflipper Be sure to check out the Crazy Horse monument jsut outside of Custard S.D. It is really worth the price of admission. It is best to go about mid afternoon, have dinner in the resturant and stay for the laser light show around 9:30 P.M.

Fireflipper I was told by a frien who changes oil for fleet trucks that the new oil is also suppose to compensate for the lower sulfur in the fuel, since sulfur is a lubricant. It will be some time before the real world tests are in to say what will really happen to the older engines, and this...

Fireflipper I used Direct whiel fulltiming and got very good setting it up in about five minutes. I did find out that it will not work when you get to far north, if I remember right it was in Edmondton Alberta, Canada. You can not point the dish far enough south to pick up the satalites, unless...

Fireflipper David It is easy to change but I did not read anyone telling you to get a strap type oil filter wrench. It makes it alot easier to get the filter off. Also remember to diconnect the wire from the bottom of the filter prior to unscrewing the filter. It is a quick connection and...

Fireflipper You guys are just jealous that you don''t have that much money.

Fireflipper Packer You will not be alone for long. I have two friends who will take delivery of their Big Countrys next week and spending a couple of days in Knoxville. I am sure they will have many questions as this is the first fiver for both of them.
