RE: Motorhomes with 19.5 vs 22.5 tires

We have had 3 Class A’s with the smaller tires. Our 4th and current Class A has the larger 22.5 tires, it gives a better ride . We travel quite a bet.

Dutch John UT to Ashton ID

36’ Class A towing F150
Best route: RT 191 Rt 22 Rt 33 Rt 32
OR : RT 191 Rt 89 Rt 26 Rt 20
The top route is faster, but only concerned with grades etc.
Have driven the Rockies before .
Grades and road conditions being =. Which is the best as far as scenery ?

RE: Manifold Replacements

So, . . . what year is this Ford V-10/MH? What is the GVWR? What is the actual operating weight? What is the length? Do you tow? What is your normal driving speed? Do you use 87 octane(min) fuel? Have you modified the ECU/engine/transmission/exhaust/driveline in any way?
Just a few questions before Ford gets sent to the gallows. (again)

Are you feeling ok?
Sure. Never better. Clearly, you are approaching this issue from the grease pit side of things. (Where I have spent many hours as well) I'm approaching it from the engineering side of things where I have also spent many hours.
Cheers! Go ahead, . . . . repair the damage. My approach is to, . . . . solve the problem first. Then, . . . . fix the damage. If you just fix the damage without solving the problem, IMO, you're just kicking the can down the road. (and putting a few $$$$ in your pocket)
Chum lee
Huh?
Dude needs a repair and is asking if the price is ok….no angle to take. Neither he nor I nor you are going to re-engineer his exhaust manifolds.
This is EXACTLY the response I would expect from you. Expect no further reply.

next time i ask a question you two need not reply

Manifold Replacements

WE have been RVing for over 40yrs. Currently on Class A number 4
Number three had the same problem but less mileage 32,000.
Number four has 63,000 miles four cracked bolts and two cracked manifolds.
From what I understand this is a fairly common problem, because of excessive heat.
That being said, labor, two new sets of bolts and two new manifolds around 4,300 hundred.
Ford V10 F-53 engine.
just wondering of other experiences and cost quotes thx and stay safe.

RE: Michelin vs Toyo tires

On the fourth Class A
In 38 yrs of RVing only have had Michelin on all four.
Looked at others but always told, "yes they are cheaper but not as good of a ride""
So how do you know if others ride/handle just as well if not better? 40 years nothing but Michelin, will never buy another.
