If you want the extra ground clearance, and it isn't already, consider moving the axle to under the springs instead of atop them. Its called an axle flip. We did our 1998 and then towed it for 5 years.

Thanks for the reply. The tires are new with a good spare. I am pretty handy having been a boat man all my life. I will change the bearings , take spares and add bearing buddies. It should be ok.

It was built with the 12" tire, so I have to assume that its adequate even for long trips.

I would just have them serviced, or grease them up good, check the pressure, and have a spare (all obvious recommendations).

Congrats on the new camper!

Just bought a 1999 Starflyer. Plan to do the western national parks this summer. We are in Tampa FL. My question is concerning the 12" tires. I will be towing with a Honda Odyssee and wondered if I should spend money to lift the camper and put on larger tires (14"?).

Maybe the 12" will work great if I keep them full of grease? Any problems that anyone is aware of?

Thanks
