Now I've just got to decide between the 7 & 8... Next time anyone's going to be in Wilmington or nearby and doesn't mind letting me clamber in for a couple of minutes that would help. I know I'll fit in an 8 (thanks Len!) but Greta is beginning to show some interest in the 7, so I'd like to try that on for size... literally! Talked to my developer today and they're 3-weeks AHEAD of schedule, so I may have a garage to get started in by the early summer if things keep going as planned. do not archive Robbie On Oct 31, 2006, at 2:00 PM, Dale Ensing wrote: > --> RVSouthEast-List message posted by: "Dale Ensing" > > > Thanks Mike. > Didn't realize from your first post that $59/tire was a big > discount.

Check the wheel pant clearance _really carefully_ before you blast off for a fly-in after fitting new tires of a different brand. Otherwise you might discover a smoke system you didn't know you had. I don't know what made me think of that.
