Tire rotation

We just purchased a Forester 3011DS and was wondering about tire rotation. How often? How many miles? Any thoughts?

imo, you will never wear out the tread off of a camper tire before it wears out due to a blow out from side wall degrading after 5 years or so. I have never rotated tires on a camper in 35 years. If you have unusual tread wear from one tire, you should have your axle looked at for alignment. Check your psi on your tires before and during each trip is the best for tire wear.

Joke of the day OC, I like that......


Since I don't drive a motor home, I would deffer to some one else that does.
