    Tire replacement, size not found

    I have Towmax tires and want to replace them. They are ST 235/80R16. The only replacement for that size is ST Goodyear Marathon. I cannot find any other brand or LT tires that size. I hate to buy new wheels too. Any suggestions? Bruce

    Rope lights on the ground around an RV

    There are many rv's with rope lights around on the ground in the park. Do these stop animals from getting under the unit or are they just for show? Or are they for some other purpose?

    Cost of electricity

    Dumb question. I am paying for electricity at the rv park we are in. I am plugged into the 50amp but we don't need 50amp. If I plug into 30amp, will my electric bill go down? Bruce & Lu

    #2 gray tank problem

    I know the tank lights are not too dependable but all 4 are all lit for tank #2. I have the drain valve open at all times. If I close it the sink will not drain after a day of usage. If I leave it open the sink drains. How can I tell if the tank is full and the valve is working? Bruce & Lu

    Tire pressure in cold weather

    We are getting ready to travel this week from Colorado to Arizona for the winter. The last time I checked the tire pressure, it was warm out and all 4 were at 80lbs. Today it is 24 deg. and the pressure is 70lbs. Will the pressure drop 10lbs? Should I increase the pressure? Bruce & Lu

    Should I really be worried?

    I have Towmax tires in our new Sundance. We have been in 5 outings this year totaling about 3000 miles and have not had a problem. I check tire pressures and feel the tires for overheating when I stop for fuel. I have read all the threads regarding Towmax tires and I am getting concerned. There...

    New furniture for our 2013 Sundance

    Our recliners are not wall huggers and we have to move them more than 18 inches away from the windows or we will dent the screens again. They also do not lock into place. The sofa is like a slip and slide material and you can wind up on the floor. We decided to replace all this. We found some...

    Walking on top of the slides

    When I camp under trees for a couple of weeks, I like to clean off the top of the slides before retracting them. I can walk on the roof and do the best I can with a broom but I sure would like to get on the slide and clean it very well. I am afraid to step on the slide itself. How do you clean...

    Awning auto retract?

    A gust of wind lifted my fully extended awning and it retracted about halfway then opened all the way again. Is it possible it has a auto retract? I cannot find that in the manual. The switch was in the off position. By the way, we are at West Yellowstone KOA. Bruce & Lu

    Winter in Arizona W/O park models

    We are getting very discouraged finding an RV park for our first winter getaway. My wife is having a medical procedure in Mesa AZ and thought we would stay the winter while she mends. All the so called RV parks look like mobile home parks with all the park models. Are there any RV parks left...

    My solution taking our canoe and our 5er

    First off I have a 2008 Ford and it has 2 bolts on each side. I drew the plans and I had the brackets fabricated at a local shop for 50 bucks. The rest of the frame is standard pipe.

    Our 4th time out with our new Sundance I have water dripping under the trailer. I found the source. There are 2 blue lines that go through the floor into the bathroom. I assume they go to the sink and the toilet. The water runs down the line to a low point then it drips. This started when I...

    We are about to take out our new Sundance and it was winterized at the factory with antifreeze. There are 2 valves under the trailer, one is red the other blue. If I open the valve, antifreeze comes out. Are these the drains for the fresh water tanks? Should I drain them before putting in water...

    Is my 50 amp power cord long enough?

    We are getting ready for our first trip with our new Sundance. The unit came with a 50 amp power cord 30 feet long. The power connector is on the rear and I was wondering if the cord is long enough. I realize all campgrounds are different, so should I purchase an extension? Thanks, Bruce
