My truck is sitting at the RV dealer serving as a truck camper dolly!

With the parts having been ordered to fix that, I think I need to go get the camper just to get the truck home so I can continue working on it.

I completed a research effort on those Nexens and I will be replacing them before leaving to go anywhere. I just purchased seven Toyo Open Country RT trail tires. I went up to 255/80R17. That will give me a slightly taller tire at 33.1" and will fit the stock wheels and wheel wells without modification. In my opinion, I do not like tall, big tire duallys and think something closer to stock looks best on those work-oriented trucks.

The Toyo is a great top-tier company and has the best reviews. An American-built tire will be reshoeing my dually.

Awesome, Don!

Day 97.

Wow.  Rates are going up

I spoke with the shop today to see what all the fuss was about.

Not only did I destroy the window and awning, but I also did significant structural damage.

The slide mechanism is bent and torqued and will be completely replaced. The sidewall and the floor of the slide are damaged as is the floor beneath the slide. That will get replaced as well. The dealership was surprised to find the damage, but it is a good thing they did.

Now the clock starts to tick. Parts have all been ordered. It could take as little as a month or as much as two, flash to bang. I will be flirting with our Wyoming departure if it goes much longer than that...

Bob and Matt, praying for you both and your families
