There’s nothing more critical to our safety as RVers than rolling on tires with proper tire inflation pressure. Unfortunately, checking tire pressure can be challenging on some RVs due to the length, position, or angle of their tire valve stems. RV valve stem extenders exist for exactly these types of situations. Today we’re taking a …
Tire Pressure
You’re likely well aware that the safety of your RV and, more importantly, that of you and your family, are riding (literally) on your RV’s tires. Despite the importance of the topic, RV tire pressure is among the most widely misunderstood aspects of RVing. How is it that the details of such a critical safety …
There’s a lot to an RV. It’s a house-on-wheels, after all. It has a plumbing system, an electrical system, even an HVAC system. But, when you get right down to brass tacks as they say, there’s nothing on your RV more important than your tires. With an RV, not only does your home sit on …
An RV TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) is a safety feature that not only protects you (and everyone riding in and around your RV while you’re on the road), but it also helps to keep your tires in tip-top condition, a goal near-and-dear to the hearts of RVers… for many reasons. So, today’s post is …
Tire Pressure (& Temperature) Monitoring Systems are a must-have piece of safety gear on an RV. We wouldn’t leave home without ours! While we’ve always used a TPMS, we started having some issues with our old system, which led us to start looking for a new one. It had been so long since we got …
Even though the Viair 400P-RV air compressor is one of our favorite pieces of RV gear, it’s not cheap, with an MSRP of $299. We just spotted an amazing deal, so wanted to alert our most loyal viewers. So if you’ve been holding off on this one, now’s the time! But the sale is only …
Accurate tire pressure readings can only be taken before you drive on them, when they’re still cold. But are you SURE the readings are accurate, even if you haven’t driven on them yet today? Maybe you shouldn’t be so sure. Most RVers, especially us DIY types, are meticulous about maintaining correct tire pressure. But even …
We demonstrate a clever and easy way to add air to high pressure tires on a diesel pusher motorhome using the on-board air system. With lots of modern equipment, full-wall slide-out mechanisms, tile floors, etc, newer diesel pusher RVs are heavier than ever. The front axle in particular, supported by only two wheels, places heavier …
