    Another marvellous outdoor camping trip. Really awesome drone captures all along. The Island just doesn’t disappoint at all.

    Enjoying your vids. Question: do you air down your tires when on logging roads or at any time you are on other than paved road surfaces?

    • @wayoftheroads
      @wayoftheroads  Год назад

      Thanks Garth! I do not, but I probably should lol Would make for a much comfier ride.

    • @garthwheeler1338
      @garthwheeler1338 Год назад

      Oh it really does. I have a 2023 standard body version of your van. I installed a compact compressor under the hood of my GMC Savana and air down whenever I am off pavement. Reduces the shock to the vehicle's components and makes for a much more enjoyable ride. However, do not try this technique with SL (standard load) street tires as the sidewalls will fail. Definitely need AT (all-terrain tires), just remember to air up when about to get back onto paved roads. @@wayoftheroads
