valve stems

Just replaced the last of the OEM valve stems on our 2013 3402 Big Sky. Two failed within the first year and the third in the second year. The last one has been leaking very slowly for some time after 6 months on our Florida lot it went from 110psi to 90 psi were the other replacements lost a psi or to in the same period.

The three that were replaced all had cracked and dry rot rubber this one had been tightened down to hard and we could see where the inside rubber seal was compressed. This local GY dealer said the same as the others did. Cheap valve stem.

Our Lug buts are nothing but rust. The so called chrome plating is TP thin and has all peeled off no salt, no snow, no ice. They are all like that and they will stay like that. When folks look at this very pretty best you can buy top of the line Montana it will give them a heads up on what to expect and how much they will have to spend on new quality lug nuts. They are not cheap.

We are looking good after 3 years and several thousand $$ in repairs.
