Evans RV Adventures: Tire replaced (Mesa, AZ)

Welcome To Our Full-Time RVing Adventures!!

Hello! We are Bobby & Shelly Evans.
In 2006, we sold our home, "stuff", purchased our 2000 American Dream motor home and began our full-time RVing adventure with our 2 Bengal cats, Jasmine (age 12) and Kimba (age 9). We are both originally from Seaford, Delaware and married December 28, 1991. Shelly is a Registered Nurse (RN) and takes travel nursing assignments as wanted/needed as we travel. Bobby works "remotely" for a national Internet company, so doesn't matter where we are.
Please join us as we document our daily activities and experiences as we travel our great country!

Tire replaced (Mesa, AZ)

Bobby completed 1200 miles on his bike today! No, it wasn't all today. That's how many miles he's ridden since he started road biking. Go, Bobby!

Once Bobby got home from his ride (48 miles), we got the coach packed up and ready to go for a ride. We were heading to "Gunnell's Tires and Service" here in Mesa to replace the tire we had cut when we were pulling out of Quartzsite, AZ.

It was probably fine but we wanted to be safe, as we will be traveling over 1,100 miles when we leave Mesa to head north to Wyoming.

We got a great price on the tire and an exact match to our tires (TOYO 295/75 22.5). Everything went well, though we were hesitant at first, when they had us pulling the coach up onto boards to lift the outside rear tire off the ground, LOL. After the board exploded from the weight, they used a jack, as they should have from the start.
