Hi Hi Hi.

Well Tom, you wanted to go test drive a new 2011. Here is your chance.

Going to get an allingment on my truck this week and try that for the handling first before tires.

I was happy with the 10.3 mpg

Alignment can't hurt Lee, but ask them if the tires are affecting it at all.

How's things going for you tonight? You gonna make it to the camping GTG at all?

Yeah, I did. It's cleaned up quite a bit, and a new floor is going in to. Almost done with that. Went with a faux wood floating floor. Looks pretty nice. My wife wants to paint the cabinets white too.

My buddy said four Transforce would be $660 mounted and balanced. They went up $40 a tire since last year.

How would they know if the tires are affecting the alignment, I thought it would be the other way.

Well it can be the other way. But oddly worn tires can make it so you can't get the alignment set correctly...

White cabinets would really brighten the camper up, and the wood floor will be really nice. Make sure that the wood flooring you use will take the cold, I have saw a few that were buckled from heat/cold cycle, but it may have been the installation. You will want to allow a little room along the edge of the floor for the movement of the camper, or you will either buckle or squeek. Talking from experience.

Yeah, I've had the before to Lee. That's why I tried the floating floor this time. It doesn't actually attach to the camper. Just floats. Hoping that solves that issue. Time will tell...
