    Poor man's concrete - any good for RV parking?

    I`m thinking it might be the stone they use under interlock bricks called "screening" after it gets wet it turns hard almost like cement but not as hard. It works ok my friend did it and had no problems but you need it about at least 4" thick. and frame it in with 2x4`s.

    Dodge particular filter 100% clogged

    Take it to the dealer they will burn it off and reprogram the computer with a new flash. This will have it regenerate at the right intervals and all will be fine.

    How often should you replace your Rv tires?

    RV tires are a different animal. My experience has been if you don`t get the axles aligned and tires balanced the tires will be useless in about 2 yrs. We made a trip to the keys with a brand new S.O.B. and by the time I got home to Canada the tires were bald. Got rid of them did an alignment...
