Nice.!

I have a Rize Thor I’m trying to add a spear tire in the back. How did you do yours. Thanks 1:03

[@TatesTravel]

Amazon, lol. I ordered an extender hitch, the hitch, and tire, rim. Found it a lot cheaper! Then I found a tire dealer to mount it on rim for me. I bought locks from Walmart.

I’m torn between this and the 18G model. How do you find the sleeping situation? It would be my husband and I. We’re both not very tall. Do you know the dimensions of the bed when extended?

[@TatesTravel]

Sorry I missed your question. Im 5-08 and it's close, Amy is a bit shorter. Did you get one?

[@monicae67]

@@TatesTravel No, we decided to stay away from Thor and have decided to go with the Winnebago Travato 59K.

@@monicae67 Exellant choice!

[@monicae67]

@@TatesTravel Actually due to Thor’s not so good reputation, we decided on the Winnebago Travato 59K.

I just got one - but I must say I'm a little nervous about some of the negative reviews. But the price was good and the floor plan and size just what need. How is the off-grid capabilities been for you? Trouble with anything falling apart?

[@TatesTravel]

We’ve boondocked a lot now over past 2.5 years we’ve had it works great! Everything is going good at the moment!

Hi Tates! I have same van, and I was wondering about a couple things and ya all have figured it all out! My rear right door (looking from inside) will not open! Almost like maybe a cable came off, not sure. Have you any experience with the rear doors? Also. They told me I could not add a spare b/c I’m not able to change a flat on this here rig, they said I would need a special jack. Help lol. I’m very capable chick and can change a tire (I guess I can) so is there really a special jack, etc needed? I hate hate hate not having a spare :) ya all are awesome! Keep rolling! May I email ya?

[@TatesTravel]

I am using my jeep gladiator jack when traveling. I did purchase a floor jack as well but I’ve never taken it.

[@TatesTravel]

We also plan for flats by using roadside service or our insurance should we hope not but should we need help!

[@vanlifebayou]

@@TatesTravel thank you. I have roadside also but was wondering if I am even able to Jack it up lol. I am getting the spare to keep with me so roadside can just change it. Great advice. Thank you SO much! Happy & safe travels!
