    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Tire tread depth for replacement

    It was definitely overloaded. Had big wood frame cabover camper. 55mph on a warm day. I don't recall the brand or pressure. Nevada Highway Patrol checked me out. Didn't offer to help though.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Tire tread depth for replacement

    On my old truck, I had a blowout and I mean instant complete disintegration of the tire. It was on a nice straight stretch of 395 and I've often thought I might not be here if it had happened on a turn. I ditched the truck and the heavy camper after that. I give overloaded trucks a wide berth.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Tire tread depth for replacement

    How long is safe is good question. I had Jeep tires that were ten years old. Still looked great since I put very few miles on the Jeep. I needed a flat repair and they refused. Too old they said. I hated to do it but I bought new tires. I thought about a blow out and if something bad happened...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Current Spike in Gas Prices

    Diesel is still 4.99 here. My fuel issues went away when I filled up. Waiting to see if they come back when I'm down to a quarter tank again. Sure helps having a code reader. Much cheaper than the 12k the Elk Grove Dodge dealer wanted to charge me.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Monday Checklist

    Here's a question for the coffee nerds. I get everything ready before I go to bed. Grind the coffee so all I have to do is boil the water. Is this okay or should I wait to grind until just before I make coffee?

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Noise While Sleeping

    I have noise cancelling headphones and they work amazingly great but I can't sleep with them on. White noise doesn't work for me either. Camping far away from others is the only thing that really works.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Monday Checklist

    Thankfully we don't have to brew our own beer. I have a friend who roasts and who taught me about how to pour the water, all about the bloom etc, and it does make a better cup of coffee. Not enough for me to roast but I do grind my beans when camping (sadly not at home for some odd reason). I...

    Unfortunately Covid has made it easy for me to stay home and not contribute to the problems our roadways are experiencing. Mild case but its made me miss the Winter Fun Festival this year.

    Taxpayers of course. We're going to foot the bill one way or another.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Welcome to the future we deserve

    Cramming more people into fewer and fewer places is going to be a disaster. I'd like to see some serious fines and jail time, not a slap on the wrist but enough where people go, hmmm, maybe I shouldn't do that. Might not need as much law enforcement then.

    Congrats on eliminating the vermin. Worst I ever had was when one died in my heater. Took a while for the smell to go away.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Questions regarding "So, you want to setup a good electrical system in your camper?"

    I don't use an isolator, just a simple marine switch. My camper didn't come with a battery so it also didn't come with an isolator and I saw no reason to add one. It requires a bit more thought from the user though.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Questions regarding "So, you want to setup a good electrical system in your camper?"

    I can easily use my camper batteries to start the truck and before I bought new truck batteries I actually had to do that twice. Once I gradually lost all power in the truck. I never did figure out what the cause was and it never repeated but it was sure comforting to throw the switch in the...
