Thank you!

This mod is a must for anyone with a propane BBQ or camp stove.
I added two quick connect fittings to the toyhauler for just this purpose.
I "tee'd" of the existing propane supply for the refrigerator/heater.
I also fabricated a steel shield to protect the fittings from road debris being thrown by the tires.
This will make setting up camp so much easier.

it was easy to install, I had alot of wheel & tire problems in the past and could have saved 2 tires because of long trips and running a tire flat.

so when I up graded to the Rib tires I figured if it saves me from runing a low tire than it will pay for its self.

It hasent alerted me yet to a low tire so I really dont have an opinion I did alot of reading and chose pressure pro thats about it.

Thanks, I've been considering a system for my rig.
A quality tire does seem to eliminate your tire woes. I had ribs on my old Weekend Warrior for years and I rarely had to add air.
I'm hoping the Goodyear G614's I put on my Fuzion are as trouble free.
