tires went on yesterday
easy part
ordering 10
follow up to order 10
follow up tires location and shipping info 10
3 way call with motorhome tires and installer 8.5
call to installer day before to confirm, CAN BE INSTALLED IN GARAGE.. and tech would have proper jacks for the f/l trailing arm rear... 8
tech arrived on time 7
tech deciding tires cannot be put on in garage... 4

install of tires after phone calls, etc to sort out a plan 8
tech doing the work front axle 10
rear axle 8

over all ME being happy 7

price for all service provided 10
correct valve stem extensions 3
over all quality and NO DAMAGE to new tires 10 plus

day before i called installer to confirm work could be done in my rv garage.. YES
confirmed truck would have a short jack to lift up the rear trailing arm suspension YES
confirmed tech would arrive between 8 and 9 am YES
tech arrived 930
walked tech around bus... no go on doing it in the garage... which really wrinkled the job. i had already lifted bus up on to blocks so suspension was only weight he needed to manage to do the work.
so i had to have tech wait for nearly 45 minutes while we got bus off blocking and out the door, where tech insisted driveway was not big enough on driver side (5feeet of clear concrete , with 20 of grass after that)
i stopped with front tires clear my outside wall with 6 feet, he conceded
got fronts up and done, i ran genny to exercise it and the ac units

then pulled fwd so rears would clear the garage outside wall, placed jacks down to just touch to stability bus
surprise... his jack was tooooo tall to fit under the jack point on the suspension
soooo i had to lift front a bit then about an inch on the rear... which was not the plan, as i had the bus supported with cribbing in the garage
rear tires were broke down, and new ones done and installed


really unhappy with the whole cant do it in the garage bit, especially after everyone in the LOOP said YES

first he had only 50 feet of hose, so i offered my compressor and hose and he could not use them for liability ??

after he figured out i was NOT driving 50 miles to his shop to have tires done, he actually was a great installer, did a fantastic job etc
worst part was the garage with the big door open for hrs, its got to 97 inside and that took long time to bring it back down
next, polish wheels, put center caps back on and take a run to settle the balance beads

I didn't realize you were a millionaire!
 
Hi,

The funny part is it probably isn't a urinal and some prankster just hung the sign there.

It's actually in the restroom of that gas station/convenience store on I-15. I've stopped there a couple of times just for fun. (Can you really have fun relieving yourself?) It's like an elevated version of those trough urinals we had when I was in grade school. I've rarely seen a line for a men's restroom but all the tourists were there. :LOL: The pictures don't do it justice.


Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff
