    Storing - Dealing with Humidity in RV

    We don't have an issue either.. I leave the fridge doors open and wiped dry... if I don't get it totally dry I have an issue but otherwise nothing... maybe you have a drippy sink adding moisture? .. ours is parked in our yard with no cover.. sits for several weeks without being opened up sometimes.

Yes, I am hoping the tire company will make it right.. they replaced the first one.... from what I was reading on tire guides online etc.. is that you should allow 20% or that your tires should be rated for 20% more than what your max load would be... so for...
