This does not seem to be my problem. Last trip out I was in a site for two days and found the tire to be near flat before leaving. I aired it up and drove 500 miles over the next two days. I checked it at every stop and it was holding pressure. The next morning after we got home it was flat again. Aired it up, have not moved the Montana, this being over a week ago and the tire is still up and holding pressure.

I talked to a tire shop today and I was told the aluminum wheels are noted for forming corrosion on the rim. The only solution was to have the wheels sand blasted clean and reseat the tire. There was no guarantee it would hold after that. His recommendation was to replace them with steel wheels.
