Thanks for the input to all

I realize the coach is FWD...no offense taken on that. The PO put new front tires before I purchased it. The rearmost tires appear new and I will double check the date to be sure. The front rear tires look old and dry and those are the ones that I plan on replacing(at the very least) I do realize the importance of tires. Will do the same for the spare. I believe Alcoa's are 16" but will confirm when I get home after a 96 hour shift. Additionally the PO stated he put a wider tire in the front so that I would drive better. I know nothing about that, the few short trips I have taken on the interstate the coach drives well although I does tend to have a rear sway going down the road, not unlike driving a fire engine on the freeway. I Plan on taking a long trip this labor day weekend to Central California and will have more information on how it drives for long stretches on the interstate(long for us-not for you road vets)

So, do I replace the front rears and put the new tires on this set or install the new set on the rear as I will replacing with the same size(the fronts are wider, that much I know)

I have seen that some of you out there run down the road with the onan going for coach a/c as the dash air is not that great. I plan on doing the same ...any info/tips on this?

Going up the grade..Super Drive the best option? I saw a coach last week on the I-5 northbound that appeared to have overheated.

Any and all tips are appreciated as we get to know each other(the coach and I) I read the forum and get all kinds of good info from the group.
