Got the Generator on the rear basket and tied down and tomorrow I will do a test drive over different types of road surfaces .......also will have a cover over it when traveling....
OK...I didn't post this yet...its now Saturday 21 July...I got the new tires, Maxxis 8008 ST225/75R/15 E load 10 ply....glad I did as when they were balancing them, they found one of the wheels was bent.....all is now well...got Ms casita weighed...with 95 percent packed it came in at 3150lbs....
Also did my test drive with the generator, several different terrains, from Freeway to washboard and everything in between...all went well...
Now its down to the last 72 hours.....and the list of things left to do keeps growing....here we go, crossing "t's" and dotting "i's".....oh bother..but there is hope...'cause the day is near when I start the engine and head north for my adventure...no matter what the damn "list" still has left on it....But the old "hitch-itch" is getting stronger......BTW here is a "phone pic" during my daily walk this A.M... Enough of this...need to start going through my list...there's some daylight left....It's now Sunday evening....Happy Trails...Horst

Remember that ST tires are only rated to 65 mph. I will be following you blog. When I leave Alabama I might be in your tire prints.
ReplyDeleteIt would be great to finally meet Mr OFM....Maybe you could teach this old man how to flyfish...ha...As to my tires...I never drive over 55mph..though sometimes that is upsetting to the folks behind me....Again hope to see you down the road...Horst
