    I've been to that town I worked on the hospital there. You're right it would be a good year round town. Lots of people just summer there in RV's to escape the heat of Phoenix.

    Hi Matty im gonna say your right-front tire is separated that you can’t see. Rotate the two fronts if then pulls left it will be that tire. It’s safe to drive on it but get it checked out sooner then later. Can’t go wrong with discount tires. Be safe and keep up the videos ✌️ 2

    I'm just seeing your channel for the first time, the exact same thing happened to me re: took my van into the dealer for routine oil chg & tire rotation, left with it pulling to the right! They messed something up. Took it somewhere else & had tires balanced & rotated tires again, but. Gotta get an alignment. I'm also a nomad on the East Coast, hope to get out West though eventually!

    Matty, Boy that was fast.😁
    Okay haw many hours do you drive from Tennessee to Arizona? Asking because I’m to drive from here to eastern part….so a guesstimate helps.
    Arizona- and Oregon are the most stress free most therapeutic I have ever gone to although going to the Michigan meet up a few weeks ago that was my first time up in Michigan I felt really good.
    But both Arizona is my next door neighbor so easy to enjoy.
    Definitely want to do a night or two of camping with you so let’s keep in touch working on cleaning out the van so that I can repack it all.

    Tire discounters is in ohio also assuming they are the same company owned by a guy named chip wood, they are a bunch of crooks. Had a similar issue they didn't install a part right and I was long ways away from the nearest tire discounters, went to another shop to get it fixed and safely drive back home and had the same part replaced again that got bent because of incorrect install. They refused to do anything about it when I brought it to their attention, took me for about $400, never been back since and never will.
