RE: Interesting Tire Decision, Opinions Welcome
My Maxxis were $146ea with tax, stems, M&B back in 09, good 'ol inflation..... anyway, the TPMS will probably be fun, and maybe the cheaper tires will work for you.

RE: Maxxis tire availability
I haven't needed the spare on 6 trailers so far(knock on wood). If I have to replace a tire, I'll buy an off brand before changing plans waiting on an order to come. Good luck.

RE: electric jack
My Atwood has worked well for 5 years. I don't know anything about the two the OP is asking about. Money well spent.

RE: Trailer Wheel bearings maintenance
My TT is 15 years old, I have owned it for 10 years, how often should i repack the bearings, its never been done. Is it something I need to do?
I don't know, I never kept one that long, but if I did, I'd check them now.

RE: Routes in CA from Mojave to I-80
The first real climb is Sherwin grade from Bishop 4,200' to basically level @ 7,000', then Deadman @ 8,000', down gradually to Mono Lake @ 6,400', then Conway @ 8,100', then down to Bridgeport @ 6,500'. Just gear down as needed and watch your speed. Not a big deal and certainly no need to smoke your brakes. The condition of 395 is very good to excellent for the most part.
Boulder Creek RV Park just south of Lonepine would be an excellent 1st. stop.
I bet you could get an exhaust brake installed in Vegas :C

RE: Major fuel leak 6.7L Ford Powerstroke
remove fuse for fuel pump (or disconnect relay), turn key on, shift to neutral, push where you need to. Disconnect battery if not sure where to remove fuse or disconnect relay.
Gotta wonder about the shop already.........Good luck Norsky.

RE: 4wd for towing stability?
I think your friend is either pulling your leg or is delusional. Unless of course, he does have a full time 4x4 system. Then the answer would be maybe, or maybe not :B

RE: Seasonal Site..Leave the fridge on or turn it off each time?
I'd leave it on. I've had RV refrigerators malfunction, but never while they were working. Good to have the gas backup. Have fun.

RE: How long will the water stay good in my fresh water tank
Water doesn't expire caveman. Its the same water the ancient cavemen drank. There is really not a biohazard. If its only water (even well water) the nutrients are not present for bacteria to multiply in any number great enough to cause a threat. Dogs drink from toilets all the time without getting sick. You'll be fine if you left it in and just added water as needed. The only issue would be the plastic from the tank may impart an undesirable taste after a while especially in hot weather. Add a teaspoon of bleach if you want. Chlorinated water isn't a problem. Most of us drink it everyday. My 2cents.
We bought our first used MH and a week later went on the road. I filled the FW tank before we left. A few days later we woke up feeling like we were getting the flu. By dinner time we had to call 911.
The water in the FW tank had bacteria and mold in it because the EMT's took a sample before they left. They said they see it all the time.
Any amount of water left in the tank will mold within a few weeks because there is air in the tank but it doesn't move, no sunlight and the heat and water turn into something that can hurt you bad.
Don't kid yourself and always put a few ounces of chlorine in the tank before you fill it and if it hasn't been used for awhile sanitize it.
We used a concrete storage tank, that was fed by a redwood tank for years. The green seaweed growing in the tanks didn't seem to cause any problems. What did the EMT's do for your condition?
