The pHp sub-forum is reserved for pHpers.  If you are interested in volunteering shoot me an IM with your home town so I can modify your account and list you on the pHp list. Hey, thanks. What do you mean by volunteering ? I'm a real newbie so I don't think I could be of much help to anyone. It just seemed like the right place to post my tire question.

The pHp forum is a listing of people who have volunteered to help people if they are, say, on the road and need assistance. Say you break down in central KY, we have pHp people there that can, at the least, guide you to a good shop, up to and including finding/recommending a local CG if needed, or even providing a spot to hook up and wait on repairs. No guarantee of what any one pHper might be able/willing to provide, but it may give a member someone local to contact if needed.

As far as help with questions, just ask in the appropriate forum, "modifications", etc, and someone will be along shortly to give you a hand.

Thanks all. I looked in the owner's manual and the section on towing didn't mention air pressure at all. My truck is old, a '97, so I don't have any kind of air pressure alert light.

I have never changed my tow vehicle tire pressure for towing. My Expedition seats 8, and I am sure, when I have had 8 in it, and I have several times, it's carrying way more weight then the tongue weight of our pod..

What does your owners manual say to do?
