Good Afternoon, Well just got home from the last of the Chemo for six months, next time is in August just before the M&G. I'm checking on all options for tire rim combo's, just looking outside the box, I haven't seen any unusual wear on my triaxle 5th wheel, and I'm running ST's now, the only wear that I used to see on a Triaxle was on my big rigs which would scuff off the tread on the rear axle in a sharp turn, the last rig had the capability of picking up that axle both on the trailer and on the truck.

I know those temps well. Dad grew up in Howe and cousins still live and ranch on the Little Lost. If fact, little brother got his moose at the head of the Little Lost last October. Safe travels, this year.

Hope you are feeling better quickly after the chemo.

Our 5er would wear the edges off of the front and rear axle tires. The center tires looked like new.

Thanks Gordon, it only affects me for a couple of days, worst is the steroids, you can't sleep. Then I just stay away from most everyone because I have no immune system

Doesn't sound like fun at all. Keeping fingers crossed for a more permanent fix in the near future.

Good morning, all is good here, I've been doing the chemo thing for years now, I was one of the guinea pigs when this form of treatment for RA was thought of, one of only 6 in the nation so I was told. Last 2 days have been in the 40's here, so wish it was spring

Snow is almost gone here, 42 degrees right now, but they are promising more cold weather.

No questions here as well. What happens on the ocean stays on the ocean (article 8 of pirate creed).

Hi all. I am reading with great interest about this rebuild currently on page 80. I sure have a ways to go. Glad to see you are still on here, maybe with any answers that come up as I finish reading this saga and then start on my own toy hauler conversion. Starting with a 28’ “twilight bungalow”. And going to be much less “total rebuild” and more “ need room to fit the 4 wheeler!”
