Today was a teaching day so we had no other plans than to check into a motel for quality wifi. However, in unhooking the rPod at the Hot Springs National Park campground I noticed a problem with a tire on the camper. Since we were in a community with several tire shops and the tire was not of an unusual type, we were in good shape.
We have had frequent problems with tires on our road trips. During the last outing with the rPod, we ran over a screw with the car. The tire could not be fixed and because the car is all wheel drive, the tires have to be very close to the same size. Big SUVs have expensive tires and the bill for four was over a thousand dollars. The camper tire was inexpensive in comparison.
We went through three tires on our old camper on an Alaska trip, but that was back in the days of driving on gravel.
I do know how to change a tire and have done so many times. However, this process used to be far easier and I can say I did not regret being able to just drive to the tire store.
