Speaking of nitrogen in tires, that reminds me that my truck tires need the winter air exchanged for spring/summer air. It's only 80% nitrogen, but .....

As for the trailer tires, they still have last year's "summer air" so I'm guessing they are good to go and if they do need to be "topped off" I'll just add some of the left over "spring/summer truck air".....

The above statement is definitely said, "tongue in cheek", and while I wouldn't begin to criticize anyone who decides to use nitrogen in trailer tires (Jayco advertised that they use nitrogen in ALL their trailers), for me, the 80% stuff has worked well for 50 years and I've yet to find a campground with nitrogen, so the first time I check tire pressure on the road and need to add to any tire, I've defeated the purpose, or "messed up the pure nitrogen" or worst case: committed to tow with low air pressure to the nearest nitrogen source....

Maybe I'm not seeing the "whole picture, but I just don't see it as such a "big deal"
