Hello All,
I am wrapping up my initial coach repairs (purchased 3/17) which included but certainly not limited to bearings, brakes and shocks. Now I am ready to tackle wheels and tires. I was shocked to read the warning sticker inside the glovebox warning not to use radial tires since I see 6 all-steel radials (on 16.5 rims not stamped radial).
A parallel effort is upgrading the a/c dash system to R134a.
What does experience say is the most cost effective choices regarding both?
My ultimate goal is a roadworthy vehicle by June 15. I have inspected and/or repaired all subsystems in the “house” along with engine cooling and charging systems refurb. Fuel system (tanks, hoses, pump, switching, etc) repair will begin after a/c and tires. I do all the work myself so I’m learning first hand about the entire vehicle. While not hoping for a roadside breakdown, I think this knowledge will be invaluable if my luck goes in that direction.
Tired but happy (73 days and counting) + ($3k purchase + $3k in parts)
