Getting ready to hit the road!

As we are going to be putting A LOT of miles on the motorhome, I wanted to make sure everything is in good running order. We now have 6 new tires! The best of the old tires is now the spare. It's scary how bad the old tires were. There was very little tread, and dry rot/cracking on almost all of them.

A shout out goes out to "DISCOUNT TIRES" for a great deal on the tires. They have a replacement warrenty for their tires that I had to use two times on the car. Both times my tires had to be replaced and I only had to pay the amount needed to buy the warrenty for the new tires (about $15!). GREAT DEAL!

We also had a alignment done. The front stabilizer was bad and is now replaced. I know it's a petty thing, but the steering wheel is now centered... it was very crooked before and was driving me crazy! It was really hard to find somewhere that could do an alignment on a motorhome! They don't do alignments at any of the RV places, and most businesses that do alignments don't have the clearance to handle a motorhome.

We finally found a place (through a couple of recommendations) that could handle an alignment on a motorhome. They deserve a shot out as well.. "ALBUQUERQUE BRAKE & ALIGNMENT". They were friendly, helpful, and reasonably priced.

Now that this work is done, I feel safer hitting the road.
