Until those tires run over a nail or smack a curb. Good luck.

Go on n git u some Chief. You won't be disappointed.

Put em on your TV first, then tell me all about 'em. Bet you won't put another tire on there after you own a set.

Hell, I'm broke now Chief. Momma has cut me off on further cash for TT.

But I will open me cooler and give you an ICRB (Ice Cold Refreshing Beverage) when our paths cross! Best I can do for now. I do enjoy some good company such as yourself.
Sea ya down the road my friend.

I believe in Michelin tires. The new car has them.

There's a good how-to article on calibrating the MicroPulse system in the current issue of Airstream Life. I did it this past weekend.

*LOVE* that!! The only potential modification I would make is as follows:

Gray Tank - water spilling out of the overflow relief port onto the ground beneath the vehicle

After learning about gray tank tendencies and sensor un-reliability, my husband and I installed a sump pump check valve into the top of our tank to preclude the nasty shower drain scenario. Installation tips here for anyone who is interested, and conceptual pic attached.

There's an overflow port on the new gray tanks? Got to be illegal in most states or am I missing something here? Peace,jim

Really? I've never heard of gray water overflows. I thought, based on our old 2011 23fb and other posts, that water would just back up into the shower.

I too use that method, seems to work just fine, the guessing game. Keep showers short and hope your feet dont end up getting a spa treatment,

Going to replace the original converter, it just doesn't put out the power it used to. I've been warned about overcharging the batteries anyway. Killing 2 birds with one stone.
