So sorry to hear about Zoey. I know how much she meant to you and i know she’ll be sorely missed. Letting go of something you love is one of the hardest things to do (we had to do it in August with Jetta) - but she’ll be waiting on the other side of the rainbow bridge for you😘

Thank you all for the kind words. Hope to see you all some day soon. We need to get back out there soon. I just finally got the fender repaired from the blow out back in June going through AZ.

Jarre & Rhonda: so sorry to read about your deep loss of sweet Zoey. We apologize for not being aware of her passing earlier. The loss of a family member/pet can be devastating, and the grief leaves a hole in our hearts. Please know we are thinking about you both, and miss you

I made the jump after blowing 2 Goodyear G114s in the last year. I'm Done !!!
I moved to a larger heavier duty tire the Continental HTL2 Eco Plus 235/75R/17.5 Long haul trailer tire. They are rated at 6005lbs per tire so 24020lbs all together. About 1200lbs more per tire over the Goodyear G114s.
This new Tire is just over 1" taller then the G114 was. It raised the trailer about 1/2" I am still at 13' 3" at the center A/C over the axles and 13'4" at the front AC. with my truck sitting at ride height. They actually helped level out my rig when towing behind the F450.
Looking forward to the next trip north see how they do. I've had really bad wear on those G114 I've been though several sets of the Goodyear over the last 7 years... Not sure why I didn't do this A long time ago. One reason was Goodyear will pay for the damages done by their tires. The last one was for $7400.00 repair. Goodyear wrote me A check for $7400.00

Jerrod, If I am not mistaken you have the Moreride IS on your rig. Do you see any difference in how the trailer tows and is there more bouncing? I need to replace my tires on our Big Country which has the Saulin's presently so the tire diameter is only .38 inches small on the Continentals which should not make any difference in the ride height. Were you able to use the same rims that you had? Also, did you make any changes to your TPMS equipment?
As always thanks so much.
Regards,
Steve

Hey Steve
Haven't did any miles with them yet. Going to Stockton and back isn't much of a test, LOL

Hi Steve
) Yes we do have the IS. With a load range J -18 ply tire I hope to never have a tire issue again. We roll with the Kuerig Coffee maker on the counter so we will see if we see any difference. I did a short trip 20 miles away and back with no noticeable difference. Time will tell.
) I used the same rims and the same TPMS. I have the Ford TPMS system and the TST system both

Absolutely AMAZING !!!! LOVE THEM
We have not been traveling as much as normal, but they are doing great so far. However our good friends put them on last year also and have close to 6000 miles on them and they are still perfect. I wish I would have done this several years ago. Also VERY glad I went with the 235/75R 17.5 they look great on the rig.

Been a while since I've posted any upgrades. I felt this one should be on here !!!
We finally made it up to Liberty Lake Washington to have the spray-on roof done. We had it done at Liberty RV Roofs . It came out awesome, and now I no longer need to replace the Dicore sealant every few years, or ever again for that matter. it is completely sealed. When they took off the original 8 year old rubber roof the found very little damage, however there was evidence of some leaks over the years. The biggest spot was from my SELF INSTALLED Satellite dish, and some where we had a leak in Oregon at the Coax cable pass through. You will see the spots in the pictures before they sanded them off. Then You will also see on the finished product the Top is a gray color and the side are color matched white. He had taken a sample of our old rubber roof that was under a A/C and had somehow faded to a gray color. That was the first color he had pained the entire roof. When we first walked in to see it we both had that look on our face that that didn't look good or right to us. This was on a Friday, He wanted us to be 100% happy with it, so he had his guy come in on Sunday morning and repaint the edges to a color match the white of our full body paint. It came out perfect.
I will post the pictures from my phone

I had the same roof put on last fall. Ours I white on top and oyster color over the visual edges. I just had a mobile tech up on the roof for ac service and he was very impressed. Said it was the best looking roof he's seen.

I forgot to mention, he called me the day that they removed the old rubber roof, and asked if we were in a Hail storm ? 
Yes 2019 Goshen Rally !!! A lot of you may have been there and remember that day. WOW
We field the clame on the F350 hood, but not on the RV. Heartland replaced one AC cover and our main awning for free, which had holes in them both.
He said if it was in the last year, the Insurance would have probably paid for the new roof. Unfortunately this was several years ago.

We still have dents in the lower J-wrap on the drivers side.
Some of it was replaced when we blew out the tire in Arazona 2021.
It is now small memory dents from one of our favorite amazing 2 month long trip to Goshen and Elkhart Indiana.
Nashville, Elkhart, Goshen, Mt Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Yellowstone, and so many more incredible people and places in between.
That is still to this day our favorite adventure.
