Hello All,
I stubbled across your web site looking for fender flares for our Fun Finder. My wife and I love the outdoors and we use our RV every chance we get. We have a Fun Finder F233RBS which works great for the two of us and our two dogs. The F233RBS is a relatively small trailer that allows us to get into most the older Sierra campgrounds while the two opposing slides make for a lot of room in a small package. We had a 32' Jayco Designer series previously it was a great trailer but just a bit too large for what we wanted to do. We purchased out Fun Finder new in 2014 after looking at many brands and models. We have happily hauled this trailer all over Nevada, California, and Oregon with few issues. The worst thing that has happened with the trailer happened yesterday. We were on I-80 almost to Winnemucca Nevada and blew a tire on the trailer. Anyone who has ever blown a tire on a travel trailer knows they can cause a lot of damage and it did. The cap coming off the tire wrapped up the electrical and gas lines going to the kitchen slide and ripped them out. I have been told that it is best to replace tires every six years these were on year five and I was going to replace them prior to next camping season. I had checked the tires condition and pressure prior to leaving that morning. I had visually checked them and felt the hubs at the rest stop an hour before the blow out every thing looked ok. The temperature was pushing 90 degrees but I kept the speed down should have been fine. Who knows maybe I hit something in the road. I spent most of today fixing the electrical replaced about 20' of 14/3 cable. The local RV shop should have the gas hose tomorrow. Hopefully the tire shop will have tires they were out but are supposed to get some more tomorrow. Oh well perhaps we can camp somewhere close this weekend.
