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!!
Our 2011 5er has been sitting on the same grass lot for 10 months. We have tire covers on them. How long can you let your rig sit without damaging the tires?
Ques. I just put on the TPT system on the trailer only (at this time, will be purchasing other monitors later) the tire pressure for the marabombs is 80psi. What would be a good setting for both low and high tire pressures to monitor? Before we hit the road those tires will be off and better tires on. Thank you.
80 psi low - 90 psi high.

Safe travels to all, Take each day as a gift for that is truly what it is.

There are a number of reasons for your tires to already be damaged. Are they setting directly on the grass?
When setting for long periods of time on the bare ground water will permeate into the tires carcass causing unseen damages and degrade the tire tremendously.
The chemicals tire manufacturers put in the tire’s compounding mixtures dissipate when not exercised which leads to dry rot and flat spotting.
Was the air pressures checked often? Were they kept at full sidewall pressures? Low air pressure causes overloading damages, even when just parked.
