That is to hot INSIDE, let alone outside! We almost moved to Tuscon at one point.. Fantastic in December. But the rest of the year.. no thanks. |

FWIW, my local independent tire guy recommends Carlisle trailer tires.

Last Thursday, still camping at Jacksonville, on the verge of heading north to home in upstate New York,,,read BarbanJoe's thread about Power King tires and losing the tread. So immediately we went out to look at our tires, and yup,,,we had the exact same ones. So that Friday we went to a Camping World that had just opened and wanted to order the Maxxi's,,,but he said he could only find one. Then we said, fine, Goodyear Marathons? and he said fine, bring the rPod in on Monday (the day we planned on leaving) and they would have them. Well then we got a call on Monday,,,they couldn't find them but had Carlisles,,,and this is after the guy told us on Friday, yup, Carlisles are not so good,,,then on Monday he says, oh, they are good tires! So we went to an independent tire dealer just down the road from the campground and amazingly, he found and ordered two Maxxis and they arrived within 2 hours and they put them on and we were on our way home! And it was cheaper than the worst tires at Camping World. I didn't like Camping World's prices before, but after this past experience, I will never go back to them! We drove home to New York and arrived safely on Wednesday. rPod is washed and stored under its cover until we head out for some New York State Parks.

Yesterday I spent about 3 hours repairing the Pod.
I used a fiberglass epoxy to fill the holes where the fender screws were, remounted the fender, installed a mud flap, and both lights. The fender was ordered from Forest River and the rest came from a RV center. Now to buy two tires, will be all set. It's funny reading all the weather posts, unless we go way north, our pod sits in the summer months!

Great to hear you've repaired the damage. What did you use to secure the fender to the wall? Or did you just shift it slightly and screw into undamaged wall with regular screws?
