While I don't consider myself an "expert" on tires, I did spend 25 years in tire manufacturing in a variety of engineering and managerial positions.

EMS working fine - 20 Months Later

As the OP of this thread from 20 months ago, I'm still very pleased with how the EMS operates and the info it provides. Microwaves and hairdryers use a lot of amps. So glad I got the 50 amp upgrade....

In all probability the date code was wrong on the tire. A metal plate called a serial tin is changed out weekly in the mold to imprint the manufacturing week into the sidewall. These are handmade on...

GFI's are on circuit breakers, not fuses. But the GFI would still reset if the breaker had tripped, so that's not the problem. I agree that the rain has somehow caused a ground fault somewhere. I'd...

Welcome to the forum. We have a 2013 308RE Laredo, which is very close to the 314 you're considering. I actually like the 314 floor plan better than my 308, esp. the queen slide (vs the 308 closet...

John, I think I can visualize what you (and Chuckster) are suggesting. Doesn't help me much right now that the TT (and fridge manual) are 200 miles away. BUT, if I pull out the fridge, then insulate...

You should try sharing the bed with a 45 lb dog that likes to sleep between us...and sideways. That's why I know the "lumps and bumps" in the sofa bed so well. If I had owned that spoiled worthless...

Happy Camper!

I tend to "lurk" on this forum a lot to catch up on the new posts and get some fresh ideas for my 2013 Laredo 308RE TT. Some folks have some really bad experiences with their new Keystones and/or...

Kumho 857 LR D Trailer Tires

That's a good looking tire. And the published specs are good as well. Too bad (for me) it's doesn't come in a Load Range E. And you're correct, it's a Q-rated tire (99 mph). This is sort of a hybrid...
