Any one have an idea of what weight capacity there is for adding accessories to the tounge area. Weight distribution system, spare tire, 2 bbatteries, dual propane. Looking to add a shelf for the generator.

Living in Michigan, with the "highways" that they have up there, I'd go with knobby tires.

Would you do the knobby tires (like on Hood Rivers) or just regular 15 inch tires?

I don't see a problem with the 15's.
I much prefer 15's because they are way more common if one has to buy a tire on the road...

We are getting the Axle Risers installed tomorrow; planning on putting larger, 15" wheels on our 2014 178. Anyone see a problem with putting the larger wheels with the lift kit?
