Glad you got off without too much of a hassle. Hope today goes better for you.

Pulling those big 5ers in the wind isnt much fun I dont care how much truck or horsepower you have. Maybe you will get lucky and get some tail push to make up some fuel mileage

after driving down I-29 from Estelline to Kansas City we exited onto I-70 and headed east .... during a planned fuel stop just east of KC I noticed a camper tire that was coming apart .... haven't able to find a mobile tire service or source to get the tire replaced .... we are setup in Trail Side RV park and with today being Saturday we don't have much hope of finding anything before Monday .... will add more later ....

[BigAl52]

Glad you caught that. Didn’t you just put those on not long ago?

replaced the off door side tires in June when we got to Estelline .... the door side ones looked worn but fine .... that turned out to be wrong .... should have replaced all 4

Hope you can get back on the road quickly. It's good to check the tires at stops. I got into a habit of doing that on my cars while driving long distances.

TIRE PROBLEMS RESOLVED ---- well at least we hope they are .... this morning I was on the phone with Evan (ESquared) when one of the tire services I left a message with yesterday returned the call .... bottom line, they are booked to come here tomorrow and to bring 2 Hankook G rated tires with them .... we hope to get back on the road on Tuesday .... talk about hot, they are calling for a high of 108 here today with a RealFeel of 111

Dang Jim, hope you have all the gremlins behind you and have smooth sailing the rest of the way.

[JEBar]

we certainly hope so

Evan (ESquared) from this forum just left .... it was really good to see him again and to meet his pup Rupee .... Rupee is the only dog Maureen's pup Zena has been willing to play with .... we are now in the process of changing campground reservations which we hope will get us home this Friday

Great to see you and Maureen (and Zena!) today, Jim! It's been too long (pre-Covid) since we'd touched base.

Glad you got your tire issues sorted out and sorry I couldn't have been of more immediate help (as in: YESTERDAY), but sounds like you'll be back on the road soon!

Safe travels and Hello to all my HRF buddies!
