Girl Camper Guide Catherine Goggia is pinch hitting for me for the next two weeks while I am on a little sabbatical. She is taking us through her purchase of new trailer tires and explaining trailer tires (ST) versus regular tires (LT).
Catherine is our Northern California Girl Camper Guide. She is an R Pod owner who grew up camping and encourages others to get out there and do things. She is the editor of her own Girl Camper site. You can follow her here.
Some of the topics Catherine discusses include:
- ST tires are built differently than LT tires
- Why the tread is more shallow on ST tires
- Why side walls on ST tires differ from LT tires
- C and D rated tires
- Tire maintenance
- Things that impact load capacity
- Open range tires
- Made in USA tire manufacturers

Is fact about trailer tires the same for motorhome tires? Buy ST tires?
I fell in love with the Little Guy Max 2020 with the SIZE and the INSIDE DESIGN, but I do not like that it has to be towed by another vehicle.. Is there a.DAILY,, LIVEABLE, DRIVEABLE vehicle (motorhome, conversion camper, coachman, etc) similar to the SIZE and:DESIGN that the Little Guy Max offers that I am able to drive and NOT TOW? The only, thing. that I want added is a stackable washer/dyer and I want to be able to tow my Miata behind this vehicle camper. Can you make some suggestions ((where to start lookig?) I can be reached at: ONLY:

This will be for a single person with two small dogs. Any direction or help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Need model #s, names of dealers that can help me with what I am looking for.. I need it to be the same size or close to the Little Guy Max.. Any way you can make one in the near future? I need something small I can control myself with easy setup.
