Wade, thanks for the tip on the Buddy Heater. I almost missed your message. I may try it, dunno yet, really wish someone with some experience with it in their TM could let me know.

Everyone needs to be sure they have load range "C" or "D" tires.  My 3124 was upgraded from a "C" to a "D".
The D's carry 65 pounds.  We have been through the blowouts on two C's and now with the D's we only had one Carlisle blister.  Have had a Goodyear on one side and a Carlisle on the other and towed over 8,ooo miles since July of 2001 and had no more tire trouble.  Did read that with a car tire, an extra 2 pounds of air would increase the speed rating by 10%; so to make up for potential problems with tire gauges, I now keep the tires at 67.5 pounds cold. What I have not done is change the label on the trailer to indicate that the tires are now D's and need 65 pounds of air pressure.. Remember a trailer tire is only speed rated at 65 MPH.  (I tow at whatever the legal limit is and am towing some at 75mph.)
