Don’t forget to check the tires for age. Old tires will let you down on a hot day. We carry a mounted spare for the truck and trailer. Mounted spares will save time and money.

In my case the calendar advances faster than the odometer on my truck and trailer tires.
It kills me to replace tires that have so much tread on them. However experience has told me it is necessary. |

Also a good time to check your trailers running gear. Just freshened mine up.

Just a tip. But when your not using your motor home and trailer. If it’s not parked inside. Cover the tires. They’ll last a lot longer before they start cracking from the sun. They make covers for them. But a Black Friday $.89 sheet works too if your cheap like me.

Edit: I got to wondering so I googled why tires on a sitting vehicles dry rot faster than a vehicle being used. It’s because tires are kept moist by the oils and resins in them. And they need the pressure of being used to activate them. (That’s the short version) can’t figure out how to post a picture of the whole explanation or I would.
