I was kinda wondering the same thing?

What info you giving them?

Do you have one of those flexible pockets on the wall next to the drivers seat, maybe there’s one holding that on? I don’t know if they use them there but you might try looking.

Tom good idea on seating the spacers with a mallet while tighting to spec. Tyron doesn’t want to support any used purchased bands. LD doesn’t return phone calls after many attempts even after saying they will check on getting hdwr and get back to you.

Because it’s easy and if you want to put your mind at rest you can unplug the two fuses at the ends of the orange and yellow wires. One might be a 5 and the other 15 or so.

What color Tyron Band button spacers do you have on your 2002 ish Accuride Monaco wheels? Curious to know Red or Yellow?

I too think this might be your problem.

Is there a way that the files many of you insert in your post could be done a different way? Speaking for myself but maybe many others I find it hard to open them on a iPhone. I rarely use my computer for this forum. Maybe a new thread could be started on this so others could look it up and find it. For example sake Tom’s recent attachment about the slip yoke is not an easy file to open even trying different methods.

Dave thanks I think he was at the Gathering in 2022 also?

Thanks Val for the links.

Can’t tell if that’s just a shadow and hopefully it is because it looks as if the differential pc that holds the U joint in place looks broke? In either case it does look spread out.

Yep I use Google Earth, coupled with the campground/resort site map also. Just interested in some newer technology. Pretty impressive stuff, especially if your traveling long distances and need to lock one in.

Thanks Dennis, that’s the real life experience I was looking for with the post. One day sitting on the side of the highway is not good. A tow wouldn’t be out of the question if it came to that. I decided I’m not going to let that weigh in on my decision. I would bet those that had to settle for what a tire shop could bring out to them didn't want to do a tow off the highway🤷 Here is a great interactive tire calculator to play with. Shows std specs and has overlay options. https://www.tacomaworld.com/tirecalc?tires=275-80r22.5-295-75r22.5

Yes, that’s it. Just wanting to get a feel for what might I might encounter so that’s why I called around to some local very large tire shops that do roadside. They trying to steer me away from the 295/80 because of THEIR availability. I didn’t like the smaller option at all. So it would be best because of this obstacle to just source it yourself and go from there.

The 75 or the 80 is the percentage height of the width of the tire. Multiply .75 or .80 x the width. The 80’s are taller.

Thank you Tom, yes I’m aware of all that and have done the comparisons. Loads and G vs H which affects the loads and CIP. The info I’m looking for has anyone had difficulty finding 295/80’s on the rd. The couple places I called as mentioned say they don’t really keep that size for emergency rd side service. I’ve read on some threads somewhere that because that size is not so readily available, they had to buy two tires for the front when only needing the one.

Yes I am shopping the big truck centers because I feel I can get their opinion on road side replacement service for that size if needed. You shouldn’t get a incorrect mph reading running the tire size that’s OE. My reading is off because of the slightly smaller incorrect tire size.

Coach calls for 295/80’s finding out if needed on the rd could be hard to come by? Last owner installed 275/80’s can still handle my weight but not ideal because of CIP needed and mph offset. What experience have any of you had on the rd with a need for a 295/80 tire. I called around and most say they may only carry one or two for that need but could be a yr old or so. Trying to keep my circumference close to OE tires.

I’m open to any, but really looking for real life experiences. I’ll take a look at their free trial. Thanks Martin

Jim did you attempt to search for the driveshaft or is that not a option?

Maybe the long Monaco flap saved the Honda from damage.

Roughly 20-24” long tops

As you discovered you can’t trust that small bubble level. I would continue to use your other level although kinda big to hall around. Maybe a inexpensive 2’ level. Doesn’t need to be perfect IMO.

Just to add, I did see that CampgroundReviews.com offers a free 24hr trial.

Has anyone subscribed to any of these type of websites that show views, either still or video drive thru’s of campgrounds showing the site #’s? I know you have to join this service and I believe there are a few out there. I’m sure the data base is limited but hopefully growing. What’s your experiences?
