First of all, welcome to our club and congratulations on your purchase of a pre-loved LD unit! What model did you get?

If you update your profile, post a message, or e-mail me with your geographic info and e-mail address, I will send you an invitation to our travel club.

By upgrading tires, what exactly do you mean, brand or different size? I heartily recommend you replace the house batteries with Trojan brand batteries. I have a pair of T-105's that are six years old and still going strong in my 1985 unit. You can find them at:

Once again, welcome and hope to see you at the travel club soon!

My understanding is that LD uses two 6 volt Trojan T-105 batteries, wired in series (to give 12 volt), for new MHs. The two T-105's are rated at 220 AH.
An upgrade from T-105's are two 6 volt Trojan T-145's rated at 244 AH. The T-145's each weigh about 10 pounds more, but are about the same size as the T-105's.
I do not know what the price differential is.

When we bought our '83 it had 8.75R16.5 tires in the front, so when we put new tires on the back, we replaced the bias-ply with this size radial. There is no contact problem with the wheels we have, which are probably the same as yours. All six tires are now Cooper SRM's.
