    ^Good to know. Somewhere I thought I read 65 mph, but probably was a do not exceed speed warning disclaimer and not the tire speed rating - I made that incorrect association.

    I have read a few accounts from people that boondock, not being happy with their residential fridge. Mostly the draw on the batteries..... Now only a few is signifignant considering that the campground rvers vastly outnumber the boondockers.

    On an aside, I read a lot of posts here about the mods people are doing to their propane large fridges to attain apceptacle performance. I was prepared to make some improvements on mine... I am happy to report tha my 18 cu ft works great as it came from the factory. It seems that someone was reading of the problems and made some changes... And I am in Phoenix AZ. It gets pretty hot here on a regular basis.

    I'm not sure, but check before getting 17.5" rims that the lug nut pattern and sizes are the same. Someone recently told me that they require a different hub.

    My brother has "H" rated tires on his Forest River Hathaway. They are rated 140 PSI cold. The rims that came with my Solitude are rated 110 MAX. Not sure "H" rated tires would be a viable option.
