Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

Travel Trailer Tires


Hi Everyone! I am replacing and upgrading my 4 TT tires and getting 1 spare.The best tire I can get is 225/75d15. Does anyone know what brand of tires are the best for trailers?Are you just paying extra for the name on the tire? Also from sitting around the rims have developed a little rust. What is the best way to deal with the rust and then cover it up?I thank you for all of your input!

Thunder...

My TT is around 7600 pounds and I bought, about 18 months ago, Goodyear Marathon tires (around $110 a tire at Wal-Mart). I have had good luck with them so far (except last weekend when I picked up something on I-75 south of Atlanta and shredded one tire). But other than that, I am happy with them.

Some have told me that the best tire is one with the greatest load range. I guess overkill is better than not having enough tire to do the job and take all the stress that they absorb when turning. I had Maxxis tires before and they were worthless. I chucked them after having all kinds of problems going over the
Smoky Mountain National Parkway. Talk about a white knuckle drive!

Just one man's opinion...
