Looking for tire update (Michelin XPS)

Hello
Time for 6 new tires, i have spent the last few evenings reading the last 12 months of post on Michelin tires. Some talked highly about the MICHELIN XPS at this time this may be my choice. I have a f350 with 235/85/16. Can any of you please give me some feedback about your Michelin XPS.
Thanks

RE: DOMETIC RECALL

Thanks for the reply's
But what happens when the tube breaks? What's all involved when the tube finial breaks can that be fixed and who pays for that?
This seems like a no win situation. Are the newer tube things made better then the older ones.

Driving in the rain good or bad

I was reading the post about water damage with the TC sitting still outside and it got me thinking about driving in the rain, do all the storage compartments stay dry when traveling? I was concerned if water would make its way into the back of the refrigerator by going through the access cover it does not look to water proof in there.

Hanging Rock SP North Carolina then down the parkway

Leaving out on a Friday morning on a 8 day trip staring at Hanging Rock SP in North Carolina would like to stay at least 3 nites there but with no electrical hook up the next spot we will need power to recharge. Then we would like to head down the Blueridge Parkway to maybe Linville falls no power or Julian Priece no power and come home I-40. Are there any campgrounds in this area were we can stop for a nite to recharge. This is the first time we have went to a campground with no power or water but would like to try it and see how it goes.
Thanks

RE: rooftop folding antenna question

The chrome looking antenna on the spring is for your radio. I was told that the TV anntenna on a bigfoot was built into the nose of the camper but my question is will this built in antenna work after they change the TV siginals?

cold weather camping

When camping in cold weather (below freezing)conditions do you do any thing different or special to your truck camper then you would any other time like the fresh water hose and water filter the landline opening and outside shower opening and the water hose opening seems to be a area that is subject to freezing.

RE: small LP tanks

Thanks for all the replys.
The 5lb. tank would fit the best, in the back seat on the floor but would it be better to go with the 11lb.. How long would the 5Lb tank last running the big Weber Q and the coleman stove? The Big Weber Q can eat a whole 1lb. bottle in one evening meal.
Thanks again

small LP tanks

I have a weber Q grill and a coleman cook stove we use all the time instead of cooking inside the TC the problem is the little 14.? oz tanks do not last long, we carry three with use they are about $3.00 each. I was thinking about getting a 11lb. propane tank and using it does anyone else do this? The tank is about $50.00 already have a hose when i bought the grill and it will also work on the cook stove.
Looking for any ideas
Thanks
