The "D" is the generic load rating, and the ply is what it is rated at, not necessarily the actual number of plies. So if it is 8-ply rated, it might actually have 8 plies, or it might have 4 or 6 that are stronger than the plies used when the rating was originally conceived.

The 113/108 is the load rating. The first number is when it's used in a single axle configuration, and the second number is when it's ina tandem axle configuration.

The L is the speed rating, which is 75 MPH.

A lot of this is explained here: Tire Ratings Explanation

Google is your friend.

Hope that helps.

Assumptions on my part.
113/108L  113 load rate cold? 108 load rate hot? And L is my speed rate (the 75mph)

Now, researching a few places it seems 'D' range tires are either 6 or 8 ply. Even though the tires say 2 nylon & 2 steel plys.  By the PSI rating and speed rating I'm assuming these are actually 8 ply tires..

Ya, we can use a good explanation portion in the Tire Section..

I'm brand new to the Rpod, so excuse the question, but if not.. Should be added to the tire portion.
Which tires are you speaking of? 14-inch, 15-inch, C-rated, or D rated? I don't know that the number of plies is all that important. I would be more concerned about the ratings on the tires. Maybe you can get the brand & model and ratings on your tires?

Wonderful idea here! I will pop some corn, grab a beer and go through it!

My question will evolve around tires (no pun intended).

When I'm plugged into shore power and turn my refrig on using the icon for ac, the alarm goes off.  It is a dometic rm 8501.  It works well on propane and battery.  Any ideas why this is happening, and how I can go about correcting it?

I saw below you spoke of the gfci outlet being tripped, which I will check.  Also you mentioned to check the circuit breaker in the converter.  How do I do that?  Is my converter under the seat on one side?  If I open that up, where will the circuit breaker be on the converter?

Yes, bypass before sanitizing.  Yes, open a set of valves inside when draining, hot and cold.

I ran across this PDF manual in my google search to install my progressive industries power management system.  http://www.rpod-owners.com/uploads/5017/HW30CInstall.pdf
But I can't find this or any other instruction manuals for other things by going to the home page. Is there a section for instruction manual  uploads I am missing on this site? I figured there must be since it has its own path with /uploads/ in the web address.

Question about #2 and #3:  should a hot and a cold tap be open when draining from the hot and cold low-point plugs?
