We pulled into the tire store and they adjusted all the pressure. All the tires were a little low and one was down a bit more than the others. I will get it checked again soon as there might be a problem. Both front tires are showing a little extra wear on the inside rib as if there is a slight toe out problem. He suggested putting them on the back and moving two back tires up front. They could not do it on Saturday so they suggested stopping at another one of their stores down the road. We will call ahead and make an appointment in Anderson, CA where we will also get oil changes in both vehicles.
At Camping World we picked up and installed a new outside shower hose that broke last year. We also needed a new Fresnel wide angle lens that sticks on the back window so I can watch the car in the rear view mirror.
It was too late to head out after doing these chores so we spent the night in the parking lot behind Fry's Electronics away from the highway noise and had dinner at Sheri's Restaurant next door. Today we will drive as far as Seven Feathers Casino in Canyonville, OR about 100 miles from the California border. It was cold last night but not as bad as the night before. It will be getting warmer every day now as we move south.
The Virgin Broadband is working well with the Cradlepoint WIFI Adapter. It gives us a WIFI zone about 100 feet around the motorhome that up to six people can use at a time. Very neighborly and very convenient!
Life is good and getting better.
We bought two front tires at a Les Schwab once. A few days later, I checked the pressure and found one of them to be 10 lbs overinflated.
ReplyDeleteWhen I owned a bodyshop we had a lot of tire work done on customer vehicles at a nearby tire chain. I learned to double check every car that was done because at least 25% of them had the wrong inflation pressure.
Underinflation causes poor gas mileage and increased risk of tire failure, especially under load. Even good tires will typically lose a half a pound per month.
One of the rear tires may have a nail and a very slow leak. I will get it checked tomorrow when we do the rotation.
Delete-9C here this morning so you are doing real good!!
ReplyDeleteJust wait until one of your "neighbors" sucks your Virgin Broadband bandwidth quota down to ZERO by streaming a movie!
ReplyDeleteWe are grandfathered onto the unlimited plan at $40 per month, plus we have never had that happen to us. People are generally considerate.

We had ice in the bird bath this a.m. Better stick to California unless you want to burn some propane! Sounds like you are having a good trip though. Looking forward to hearing about your Mexican adventures. Take care.
ReplyDeleteThe frost is on the pumpkin Don. Stay in that hot tub!
DeleteSeven Feathers is a great RV spot. Soon, very soon, you will have crossed the passes and be basking in the California sun and heat.
ReplyDeleteWe will be in CA tomorrow, Rene'
DeleteWe'll be reading...Safe travels.
ReplyDeleteJan and Lew
Thanks Jan and Lew, nice to have you along!
DeleteThanks for the update!
ReplyDelete(Why didn't you just spend the night at Camping World? When I stayed there, they said I could do so for up to a week!)
I thought I might want to wander around Fry's. It is a toy store for geeks. I ended up not looking as I have enough toys!
DeleteKeep a close eye on those tires, one of the best safety factors that you can do.
ReplyDeleteSo do you go on to I25 and then down through Pueblo and Trinidad or ?
ReplyDeleteI-5 to Bakersfield then over to Mojave,CA and down to Parker, AZ and Yuma.
