Title: Checked out the Camper today.
Post by: Vamps on 25 April 2009, 21:30:53
Borrowing my Dad's Campervan Motorhome, as he keeps reminding me, ::) for York Meet :y

He has been clearing it out and checking it over, had it serviced, tracking done and 'Nitrogen' put in the tyres?? And he has filled it up with diesel for me, and he doesn't expect it back full :y :y :y

I have to take it for a drive tomorrow, with him ::) I have an HGV1 and a PSV still, don't mind, keep him happy, small price to pay :y

Its more stable than oxygen, so stayes the same pressure with heat. usually used in sports cars  ::)  ;D

Don't forget to drive off around the campsite when Mrs Vamps is on the bog  ;D

He likes his toys :) He hardly uses it really, touring Scotland in June and that is about it. Now I am on the insurance I thought I might be able, well to, sort of take it over, for oof meets and maybe a little touring myself. :)

They will be fine if they have something to do, whatever the weather and a real pain if they get bored, based on my experience with Miss Vamps ::) ::)

Big City Tyres in Nottingham offer Nitrogen tyre inflation for £2 a corner.

Apparently it stays at the same pressure, regardless of its temperature.

Main reasons for using nitrogen are 2 ; (and the reasson most aircraft tyres use nitrogen)

Nitrogen is made "dry" whilst air contains moisture, the moisture content is very susceptible to changes in temperature. It will actually condense out and freeze in very cold conditions so giving a low pressure, but will "boil" off and produce a high pressure vapour when the tyre gets really warm on a long run.

Nitrogen atoms are large in comparison to oxygen, carbon dioxide and water vapour. so they have less tendency to "leak" through the miniscule gaps in the rubber of the tyre and so hold pressure far longer.

So, as said already .. nitrogen tyre pressures are far more stable than those filled with air, especially if you filled the tyre from flat on a humid, wet day.

Oh, yes, that's what started the nitrogen bit. :y
According to my dad the tyre place he had it done charged £2.40 a corner but calling in for a tyre pressure check and any top up is free for the life of the tyre. :D :D 'Tyre Services' in Darlington.
