    +1 Sounds like cheap tire from a second rated tire manufacture ??

      BaHa camper tires

      Maybe the owner is using the camper to transport Illegals or off roaders and doing some BaHa- ing across portions of uppaved desert terrain. LMFAO

        Crappy Scrappy actually use good name brand manufacturers but they drive such a hard price point that the only way to meet that price point is to make 'em cheaper, so in effect, it's the same thing.

        I learned decades ago that I can't afford to save money buying their products.

        An example is Makita drills. Makita are a good product but if you buy one from an electrical wholesale outlet (where you would buy a 200-amp panel) you'll pay more for the same model number drill than you would if you purchased the same model number drill at Crappy Scrappy.
        The difference being one has brass and bronze bushing inside and the other one has nylon and plastic bushings inside.
        Exactly the same model numbers but not the same product even though it LOOKS the same.

          they sure like the inverted torx on these Chevy Cruzes.
          A 2014 Nissan Altima 2.5 with CVT, delayed engagement ( 10 to 20 seconds) after start up. A new TCM fixed it. Nissan no honor the warranty. They say it been tampered. A load of ****. Watch your select solenoid amperage, 1 amp at idle drop to 750 mA in gear.

            We got some one to do the simpler things around here. Maybe I can get back to writing TIPs again. I working on a TMR feeder wagon for a big farm ( it burned) and a street sweeper for a town ship. They tipped and hydro locked it. It feels like piston is wedged on the Deere.

              well what I'm going to do is have the camper weighed at a cert. scale, get a print out, and then figure out the spec. on the tire and c what the rateing and act. weight is.
              I've tried and tried, but can't seem to fix stupid!

                I give up on writing tips..... just not enough hours in my day.

                  So exactly what is a 2002 Ford class 3 30-footer-??

                  Check your door end or the B pillar for the full vin and the GVWR. Also check the front axle load and the rear axle load.
                  I would use E load range on a 3 /4TB ton or heavier vehicle. Some Dodge 3/4 with the diesel call for E.... Anything that's a one ton should have them.
                  If it's a heavier vehicle than a 1-ton chasis you need to go up ftom LT load range E to a heavier carcass, as in Truck tires.

                  Also, if it sits for eleven months, the tire carcass will be flattened out. Raising the weight and supporting it with stands would be better than leaving them loaded in one position.

                      So is it a one ton chassis-???

                      POCONO is a cool track.

                        That was close........ I Went out to the street sweeper to see if there was some easy way to get it inside and start pulling it down. I was checking to see if there was some electronic way to put the hydrostatic drive in bypass to tow it when I accidently hit the starter... IT CRANKED !!! I had the injectors out from the other day when I was trying to bar over the engine and it wouldn't budge in either direction. Well if it cranks lets clear the cylinders and then put the injectors back in and see what happens. No mechanical noises when cranking and it slowly started one cylinder back at a time. A little smokey yet but runs like a champ (like a Deere).. better lucky than good some times.

I quit driving except for test drives. I bike or run to work and can get most of the necessities of life from Amazon. Yep they got groceries (dry goods) on amazon pantry. a whole box shipped to your door in 2 days for 5 bucks. I get Power Ade, granola and trail mix in bulk UPSed right here to the shop, cheap. Pretty cool, It cost to drive a car but worse than that shopping sucks or going into town for any reason for that matter. Once you find what you want on the big A you just hit re-order when supplies are running low. I get all the fresh veggies I need from my garden, Freezer full, corn and taters to sell, !!
                          If you live off nuts and berries and run to work I guess Amazon works well but if your like me youll need to run to the store for ice cream and beer once in a while and since its more than two blocks away ill continue to drive my F350 460 gas hog.

                                X, I got the same setup! You can remove the mouse tray and move the keyboard to the right to clear the scanner area, I see you got the mouse on top anyway.
