Repairs & Maintenance
Under construction!
At Suite101.com, an online journalism site (for now; it seems to be changing), I am the RV Topic Editor.
From time to time, this page will link to my related articles about repairs and maintenance on Suite101. I can’t just re-post the articles here on my own site for two reasons:
- By linking (rather than just reposting the articles here) I keep up my “Google juice” (duplicate content is a no-no)
- My contract with Suite101 gives them exclusive online rights for a specified period.
I may also link to other repair/maintenance articles that I’ve enjoyed.

Thoughts on RV Tires
A while ago there was some flap about defective RV Tires from China. That, and a lot of news stories about defective products from China over the past few years, make people especially suspicious of Chinese RVs.
Bid you know that tires from even top brands like Michelin are made in China? So when I put new tires on my truck, did I check to see where they came from? Um, no.
