    OEM P275/60R2 Good enough for short trips?

    Thank you. On the Goodyear site they have owners feedback on these Wrangler-SR-A. Two positive comments from owners pulling travel trailers, one was a fifth wheel. Considering how little we will tow, probably 15% of the miles, we'll give them a try at the max 44 PSI and watch carefully. Thanks...

    Hello, Our water pump is under the kitchen sink and needs replacement (water filling up the gravity tank). Check valve in the pump is not woeking. We were hoping the small wooden partition to the left under the sink, as you open the door, could be removed and the drawers could stay in place...

    Haul Gauge....anyone tried it?

    Did he mention how important being very level is in the 3rd step of the initial setup? When the app read “click here when you are level” I had to look for a spot and when I got there it was past the level step so I don’t know when it decided we were level. Thinking maybe of starting again...

    We are hoping to not use it in a campground but only when boondocking, which hopefully we can do often...but, since we have no experience, we’ll have to find out. I’ll try to hear one. Thanks for the thoughts. Chas
