Too much. Wanted to stay under a 1/2 mil new but after going to 4 RV shows and considering how much we’ll probably use it, looking probably to buy this one from a friend.

2021 Fleetwood LXE 44B Bunkhouse bath and a half with 8,500 miles. Garage queen.

Has a FCCC chassis with an ISL 450HP/1,250tq, MH3000 trans and a steerable tag.

If it’s a friends, just borrow it as you need it. Much cheaper and easier.

Not an option, he’s selling it regardless and upgrading to something much much nicer.

Assuming I close the deal on that 2021 Fleetwood Discovery LXE 44B next week, even though it had original Michelin XZE 275/80R22.5 tires, can I run a Toyo 295/65R22.5 instead?

The Toyos are about $550 a piece and the Michelins are $850 a piece. Local Tire guy says they’re the same but hard to believe. Both are H rated/16 ply.

Some people still run the Michelins on the steer and Toyos on the back.... My father has Toyos on his Allegro Bus.

Some do the Michelin tire program, but I don't know the discount is.

I went with a more expensive tire and was told I basically just wasted the money

I run the Toyos on our Allegro Bus and I have no complaints.

I wouldn't hesitate to run the TOYO's Lots of people report back positive w/ both TOYO & Hankooks for sometimes half the cost of the Michelins. Especially if you're in the program of swapping them out every 5yrs anyway

I've had really good luck with the Toyos on "working" trucks. Not semis, but big bobtails driven by morons. Something in the tread design or compound seems to help them were better on rears. If the new coach has TPMS monitors, check them and make sure they are on the proper wheels. If it doesn't have TPMS, get it...can save you a bunch of money down the road.

Oh, and my God those Michellin's will make you cuss mounting them. The beads are gnarly...best to let them sit in the sun before mounting

Welp, deal is done. We now own a 2021 Fleetwood Discovery LXE 44B.

Can someone explain registration costs for a used RV in Arizona?

 

[1tonfun]

Set up a Montana llc and register it up there. The cost to set up and the first year registration were half as much as the AZ registration. AZ registration is based on the FMV of the vehicle. IIRC Montana is a flat rate.

Don’t have anymore pics yet I’m leaving it in my buddies garage where you see it now until I get my garage and pool finished in the next month or so.

Our first trip will be for her grandmother‘s 90th birthday in Tucson on April 5 so we’ll be heading down on the fourth. I’m gonna get tires on it in about two weeks so they’re fresh for the trip as well as a oil change and fuel filter and that kind of thing too.
