Swapping tires around made no difference. Maybe you should take Mike up on his offer and try a completely different set. The tires are the only significant difference from last year aren't they?

We left last Thursday night For Two Harbors. Went up part way and then got to the campground Friday morning. Camped right on the shores of Lake Superior so that was pretty cool. Got back yesterday about 7 p.m.

Not sure what to do any more.

Just what we did the night we swapped them Chris. That made little to no difference. I am not going to keep screwing with pressure. I know that's not the problem. I have nver had a tire change all that much do to a few pounds of change.

Did you stay at the public campground right in town? That looks like a nice place.

Yeah just on the north edge of town. It is owned by the city. It was a nice campground but the spots on the lake like we were in that were close to the shore were a little close to each other but had some great views of the lake.

Here is a pic one morning that I took. It was taken from standing in the doorway of our camper.

You can see a ship out in the background.

I think swapping tires for a completely different set will at least let you know if it is the tires of not.

We tried to get out group in there once Troy but it is so popular you would have to plan a couple years ahead to get a few together.

Easier said than done though Jim. Mikes truck is not usually at the shop so just swapping his over is not an easy task and I honestly cannot afford another whole new set of tires right now.

I think I remember that now Jay.

Well if these tires are bad they should be replaced under warranty right? Your tires are new and sounds like there was a flaw from the factory if that is what it turns out to be.

We can certainly try them on my truck if you want. I know mine won't work on yours because of the backspacing but if it helps we can try them on my truck and hook the truck to the camper.
