NOTE: When the motorhome is stored the tires should be
inflated to maximum inflation pressure as indicated on the
sidewall of the tire.
Failure to take these steps can cause early deterioration and shorten the life
of the tires.
The type of surface the motorhome is parked upon will have an affect on
how much moisture accumulation occurs on the chassis and flooring. Moisture
can eventually seep into the interior. Further, the type of surface can affect the
tires.
• Gravel covered parking areas still allow moisture to evaporate
from the ground, through the gravel and to the underside of the
motorhome.
• Concrete pads seal the surface, allowing better ventilation under
the motorhome.
• Storage buildings with concrete floors or heated storage facilities
greatly reduce the amount of moisture accumulation and protect
the motorhome from moisture damage.
• Wet, oily, or greasy areas should be avoided. Highly reflective sur-
faces, such as sand or snow, should be avoided. Finally, heat
absorbent surfaces, such as black asphalt, will cause problems.
Before removing the motorhome from long-term storage thoroughly inspect
each tire. This means a close examination of the tread area and air pressure. If
the pressure check indicates the tires have lost air during storage, inflate them
to the correct pressure for the current load before putting the motorhome into
service.
In case of a flat tire, it is recommended to call for roadside assistance. The
size and weight of the motorhome and its tires require the proper equipment to
change the tire. A professional service technician will have the equipment and
training needed to repair or replace the tire. In the case of sudden tire failure,
avoid heavy braking. Hold the steering wheel firmly and gradually decrease
speed. Slowly move to a safe off-road place, which should be a firm level spot.
Turn the ignition OFF and turn the hazard flasher system ON. Goodyear Tire
Company has an emergency number, which offers 24-hour assistance. Contact
Goodyear at (877) 484-7376. The old tire should be saved for warranty
purposes.
