Re: Input for coach absent of Spare tire
I ahve been the victim of multiple blow outs over the last 5 years towing a 30 foot closed trailer and have learned these lessons: [list=]You MUST carry a spare or accept that the time taken to rectify you por problem could be as much as a couple of days. This is whether or not you have insurance or...

This requires ey...

Forgive me, I just noticed you do have the PSD chassis. That gives me comfort in saying that the 6K you are going to tow will be easily handled, equivalent to my empty car hauler with which I have over 75K miles of towing with the same rig. I do tear my hitch (Class III) and had it rewelded which la...

You can overcome the sway/whip issue with a Hensley Hitch. Expensive but it makes the tow both safer and easier. I have used one for 12 years and have had a number of OMB events lately thanks to the failing Michelins which blew 3 times before the recall. But the plain fact is that the brakes, drive ...

Others have mounted their spare to front hitch bars with little or no cooling impact. So it can and has been done. Not sure why there is a problem with the hood. Works pretty well on my Land Rover. Of course you have to be strong enough to get it off the hood. I just toss mine onto the ground and of...

I had the same experience with the trailer which blew a couple of the Chinese Carlisles that are excuses for tires. After a 5 hour wait on a turnpike in OK the guys arrived with new tires and the fitting equipment. The coach blew a driver side rear on I 35 twice in 30 miles as both were Michelins. I...

The diesel makes a HUGE difference to the towing experience. I do much like you except I tow a 10k enclosed trailer and have had so many safety issues that I have mandated for myself that I will never tow above 75% of the capacity of the rig and particularly the tires. This is difficult to achieve w...
