Hi, Sorry if I'm violating your better judgment! I am interested in purchasing a used Scamp or Casita. I have tried and tried to register on the Casita forum, but it keeps saying I've failed the challenge question. I assume that means the text you enter to prove you're not a robot?

Howard, I would like your opinion regarding tire valve stems for my Chevrolet 3500HD DRW truck. Rubber valve stems or metal valve stems. I'm thinking the metal stems would be easier to check and/or add air especially on the dual rear tires. In your opinion is it worth the $ and trouble of changing over t...
