The 2005 Travels of Richard n Shirley

We are fulltime RV's. This means we have no other home but our motor home. We joined the Escapees RV Club and use their mail forwarding service and forum. In addition to Escapees forum, you can find us on rv.net and lrv2.com. We are Richard n Shirley on all of them. We access the internet with a Direcway satellite dish mounted on a tripod. We do set up the dish at every place we stop for the night or more. We are #2321 on datastormusers.com. Click us and you will find our current location.

The Pills, the PILLS

More of the headaches. I'm still not on the aspirin, taking advil type for the headaches and seems to be no help. I take the nitrate in the morning for its time release effect. Around noon, its time for the first advil tabs, 2. And ever two-four hours I have to take two more till I have taken six usually. I will call monday and see if there is a lower dosage and try them. Otherwise we will stop.

Tires and Brakes

I have been looking a tire and brake prices this week. Our tires are 5 years old, by date, and need replacing. Our brakes are in need of something as the ABS light stays on now. And since we are planning on going out west, good brakes are a given for the mountains out there.

We have Goodyear G159 that were put on in 2002, at least four were. The current tire is the G670RV and a G124 truck tire. We have 73219 milesonthe rv. The four tires were put on with 43260 on 7/9/02. There is a date code on a rear tire of oo. this is where we are getting the 5 years. So far we have been quoted tire from Sumitomo, Dunlop and Goodyear. The Sumitomo is the St718 series. And for Goodyear RV series. We didnt find a Dunlop rv tire series on their website. For pricing, go to the Escapees.







Our brakes were last looked at in 6/11/01 with 29561 miles. At that time, there was 50% life remaining. There is no other record of brakes in the paper work we got with the coach. We also dont know what the 50% pertaines too. Is it front or rear or both is unknown.
