I've seen fist fights in VN over the cans of beanie weanies in the C Rats.
Don't knock them, I love them.

On our last motorhome I blew two Michelins and replaced them with all Goodyear RV tires. They were just fine.
Where are you heading first?
Maybe to Ephrata, WA to store my teardrop. It’s much dryer there. It’s been raining hard here for days. My first scheduled camping begins December 1st at Dosewallips State Park on Hood Canal then a quick trip to the nearby coast. I’m going to winter over in Washington along the coast.

Sounds good as long as it's warm. You can always unplug and head south it its not.
Keep in mind, you're mobile now.

They are great room temperature when the room (nam) is 90 degrees. Cold when it’s cold they aren’t that great. The beef stew which was mostly grease tastes good when it’s cold and we wouldn’t eat them in nam.

I didn't know you were in VN. So was I. MACV 1965-66.
I assume you are much younger than I. I turn 81 Saturday.

Michelins would be my first and only choice if they are available. In 34 years at the company I retired from they were tested many times and always proved to be the best. I never had any issues with Michelins in the 34 years I was there. YMMV

I don’t think I indulge too much in Little Girl. I removed one leather recliner to make room for her favorite chair. I had to cut the legs down to fit it through the door. This is actually her scratching post. The vase is where I put all her toys. Usually in the mornings I’ll find them scattered throughout the house. I’m going to put a small dog size cage beside it when I need her contained.

This site explains it pretty well, looks like you can get replacements that will work with all ballasts but that may not be the best option.

Check here Gene
Thanks Al. They have to be required but I think I can do it. Just not now. I may buy them and install them in a month.
