Thank you. As for the same grease - well, this is the first time since purchased that I’m greasing them, so not sure if I have the same stuff. What happens if it’s not the same? Using LMX Red Grease.

Keep it cool

Very slow to cool once we hit camp, so I turn it on as cold as will go the night before heading out, with some freezer blocks inside as well. When I get to camp, the blocks go in the freezer, and I...

Well I am so glad you are otherwise not hurt. Your story should be a big reminder to new owners to get cheap tires off their rig ASAP.

High winds vs cover...

Planning on putting cover on today but just learned winds 30-50 mph tonight with gusts to 90! Should I wait until less windy? I’d hate to shred a brand new cover. Thoughts?
