Aluminum Camper Forum

Just on our second set of Goodyear Endurance tires. After seven years the tread was still good but the interior composition had started to rot.

Tire shop informed us that Chinese tire manufacturers are taking over the travel trailer tire market, big brand names are not making them any more, not profitable for them, not sure if this is true or not?

Tarrifs may also impact your decision as well.

First, a quick check to see if you have looked at the placard on the frame to see what size tires it came with.

And, I haven't been able to find any trailer service tires in the 195/75-14 size.

How about a list of the accessories you must have.

An EMS system (Built in or Pedestal) not just a Surge Protection System

Sadly our 13QBB was sideswiped and insurance totaled it, so we're buying a 14DBS to replace it. The new trailer needs all new tires. Currently on it are 195/75/14 which is apparently a rare size...at least at Discount Tire. I'm curious what size tires everyone has on their trailers and if anyone has a go-to brand/model.

I tried drilling drainage holes at the bottom of the bubbling compartment door that I referred to in my comments above.  Didn't work.  Once that bubbling occurs your options are limited, from my experience.

It was solid aluminum and no screws to remove it.

Greetings GrampaKilt.  I have posts on both Lithium Ion conversion and awning replacements here in the forum. Lots of YouTube videos on how to do both.  Progressive makes a replacement converter for charging the lithium batteries that is an easy swap vs. replacing the entire inverter converter.  I replaced the fresh water tank on our 16 TBS due to kicked up road debris. To prevent that I got some truck flaps and cut them to be longer than the tank and screwed them into the frame member the front tank strap to act as a defection shield. 

Greetings back at ya!

Ours had solid aluminum between toilet and behind pan. Could not get to underside. Still trying to get it back together. What I wanted to do would not work on this the way it is made.

Hmmm......was that solid aluminum between the toilet and behind the pan welded in on yours? On mine I could remove that cover and that's how I accessed the drain pipe to move it to the correct position (there was a drain installation error at the factory).
