Just a quick note about the tire issue and the cleanliness of our coach upon delivery. After talking to the general manager at RCD sales in Delaware, OH, they would only agree to cleaning the coach and applying a paint protection. He claims it would have cost me $1000 for that installation. They also agreed to provide a second deadbolt key since we only had one with the used coach. The issue with the tires went unresolved. They wouldn't do any more than get us a discount on tires from the tire dealer they use. The quote they gave me seemed high for a "discounted" price. So, I did a little checking myself. I was able to get the same tire (Goodyear) at a different tire dealer for the same price without their "discount". To say I am displeased is being kind. I ended up replacing the front 2 tires today at my tire dealer. (those were the worst shape of the 6). I went with the original Michelin XRV. $1400 for the 2 tires, with mounting, balance, etc. I will replace the other 4 this fall after I save up some more money.

I had similar problems on one of my purchases. It does seem like a bit of rain on your parade. I suggest that you take a look at Toyo tires. This is the second coach I have put them on. Toyo is a great tire for the $ spent. I trust my Toyo's to give me better service, ride and stability than any Michelin I have ever had. I put 4 Toyo M154 H load on my coach last week for &1,905. I bought the Centramatic balancers in place of balancing the individual tires.

I hope you can get your rig as squared away soon. It's time to go campin' .

Happy trails,
Rick Y
