Tire Covers for UV Protection - I Was Wrong! - Magne Shade Tire Covers!!!! 

That’s the best way to be . I’m the same . God Bless Americans 🇺🇸🇬🇧

Love your tire covers and I believe you also have windshield shade protection. 👍🏼

Hi...See followers...I was not kidding that we buy things. :) (Sometimes at a discount mind you, but not usually and surely not in this case.) Glad you liked the video. We have some great followers so maybe that will lead to some new sales. Now, about that windshield cover. :)

how do you know that?

@@jim-uu2db David stated this in the description. Also, scroll down a bit, there's a comment by MagneShade testifying, that they had no idea.

Yes, it's been some time. Sorry.

Rick, Good Tip! I would have to agree with that seeing you need to be able to reach over the top of the tire and when you drop the coach, it could make it harder to put into place. (Not just for these covers, but for any that slip over.)

Totally agree! Tel them we said Hi! :)

GREETINGS BACK!

Thanks for noticing the weight. I am also pleased with myself in that regard. And yes, it has been some time. More to come soon though, so thanks for still subscribing. (As you know, we don't post to post just to make an income.)

@@DavidBott I like watching you guys with your videos no matter what. My favorite video you guys made is the Dyson vacuum cleaner "IT REALLY SUCKS" lol I watch it over and over and get a laugh each time.

Nope...Not yet. :) But I think I will make a sign to put in where the button is for the slide outs to remind me. :)

Thanks...Yes, I am healthy. Actually had someone say "Hey Dave, you have lost weight, are you sick?" Hummmm...... :)

LOL!!!! Don't think that I didn't already think of I would be doing that!!!!! I was like...Oh my, it would be simple to forget!!!! :)

Yup, understood. Seeing we have a dark looking coach, the white slip on covers would just really look out of place to us. (but thats us.) You know how David likes to keep the coach. :)

LOL...I thought the same thing on driving off!!! I made a note that I put in the cabinet where there slide out switches are to remind me to remove them!!!! :) I was not insulting your covers...I just find then ugly for us seeing we have a dark coach and the white covers would just be totally out of place. :) You are correct in not using any petroleum based products on the tires. In fact, that will void the warranty if you have an issue any they test for it. I also used 303 on them...but I guess not often enough. And yes, lost weight! Thanks for noticing and I am very happy with myself in that regard!

God Bless You David .you seem like a wonderful gentleman. Great 😊 personality.

Your welcome.

I've never seen a Michelin tire that does NOT dry rot before the warranty is up. You are lucky they did anything, normally they won't do anything and refer you to the dealer who will refer you back to Michelin. btw- Re: tire covers - white or light colors reflect while the dark colors absorb the heat.

Sorry, no idea I am sorry to say.

Gary - tires are designed to withstand heat. It’s the Sun’s UV rays that destroy them. Standard black covers protect better because they surround the entire outside tires. After three years using Adco’s black covers my tires look brand new.

Thanks Debbie.

Dan Southcomb then u have tire covers 75 percent of the time. I think he is talking about a different thing than what u have

I used 303 almost monthly on the tires. As you can see, did not seem to help much. (I guess it could be worse. But 303 will not do it alone.)

@@DavidBott TY, best wishes to you and Brenda from sunny Maine.

Eeeeeeeasy buddy.

I bought them. They had no idea I was going to do a video. I also used 303 monthly and it still happened.

David Bott thanks for the info. Especially on the 303. We move at least once a month so I will keep using the 303 and skip the covers for now. Cheers!

@@DavidBott Do you think even with the tire covers there will still be cracks over time? The Paraffin will still not be circulating. The tire covers still may not be enough.

@@Tothefloor Unclear. Not sure as I would not have the data needed. But it is the UV that seems to break it down.

You got that right!!!! :) I learned that over time. Ha!

Hi Ya... It is hand on a case by case basis. If I was to say they replaced them, that goes not mean they would say that to someone else. But in any case, they would be prorated like most warranties.

They would be pro rated depending on the result etc.

I would have to think UV light is like any light in regards to reaching something. So if it can touch something, it can can also be destructive. As with such things, the more of it the worst it surely could be.

They are held in place with bungies so I really don't see them going anywhere.

It doesn't. It blocks UV light that makes for the issues. When the tires are used, the paraffin keeps the tires softer thus help to keep it from cracking.

@@DavidBott most people don't know that you can buy plastic inserts that bolt directly to the rim underneath the tire and will stop you from ever being stranded from a flat tire for only $40 to $60 per wheel

And if you keep Armor All on your tires once you do it enough it will soak into the Rubber and you won't have the ultraviolet bleaching issues like other RV owners

I know fellow RU-vidr Andrew Steele does their coach when they’re on the West Coast.

As Russell mentioned, Andrew helps me along that line as he details our coach at least once a year. Other than that, I wash it and rinse it with Di water so I don't need to dry it as that can also make for more "spider web" type marks. So after it has been detailed, we use a ceramic spray to keep it like you see it. For the most part, now all I need to do is rinse the coach with Di water to get the dust off of it. Unless we drive it in rain, or if we are in a very dusty area and it rains dirt, I usually don't need to use a lambswool pad on it with soap. Just wet, foam cannon it, and rince with Di water for spotless drying.

@@DavidBott that makes sense. You sure have quite an impressive well maintained rig all around. My wife and I love your energy as well.

Hi...Yes, we still use them and I would still purchase them. They still look new!

At this point it does not look like we will be coming to Quartzsite.

David Bott sorry to hear that I look forward to your OOD

Thanks for noticing. I have to say I am pleased with myself also. :) In regards to the wind...They are held in place with bungies so I really don't see them going anywhere.

It is the UV that causes the tire to crack. The paraffin is not moved throughout the tire keeping it soft so the UV can weaken it when it is just sitting being exposed for a long period.

David Bott. Thanks

I know right! :)

True. :) I said they were not cheap based on how "cheep" the other type is that covers everything and are usually just white. These are actually very well made and look good too.

Hi...For my needs...Mine were $362.00 total with shipping for all six. (Size varies the price of course.)

David Bott - that’s over $60+ dollars each !!! You must have more money than sense , no offense but if it were me ,you could of hired someone to do the same thing for 1/6 what you paid Oh Well !😢💵

Cross your arms in and fold like a figure 8. Done! :) (Well, you will get it. I should tell them to make a video. Oh heck, Brenda should make a video for them as she does it better than I.)

David Bott I do the fold figure 8 but for some reason doesn’t work most of the time Magna has a video - I’ve watched it 6 dozen times

David Bott Maybe if you make a video showing how you do it will be better Hope you are able to do a video

@@trike-hauler I am sorry to say I am not sure what to say here. They are a great looking solution for tire protection and while I have "issues" with folding them up...I suck at it....Brenda can do it without issue. :)

Hello, I've been in 60 mile an hour winds with them on the coach with no issue whatsoever. They didn't move one bit. Hope this helps. We still like them still use them and would still recommend them. If you order them tell him I said hi. :-)

Dale Carlson when vehicles sit the tires will flat spot. If they sit uncovered they will flat spot and begin to crack due to degradation because of UV rays. It takes about 15 minutes of driving to work out the flat spots the cracks only get worse! Keeping the wheels off the ground only stops the flat spot.

@@larryreno8293 I think I meant collector cars which sit inside away from UV rays off the ground so they don't flat spot or start to crack. The message was driving not sitting is the only solution to stop cracking. I just changed the tires on my jeep they have been on there 10 years they where just starting to crack between the treads not on the side wall no special care ever given to them other than driving all the time.

You don't have to drive it you only have to push it forward so that the tire rotates 180 degrees

Richard Wolfe Doing that usually gives you octagons for tires. Driving it gets the tires up to operating temp and the flat spots work themselves out.

@@larryreno8293 I own 17 cars and have bought and sold hundreds over the years don't try to tell me about how tires are

UV on the rubber that is not softened by the paraffin causes it to "age" and thus crack. It is not so much the heat as it is the actual UV light. (Like a sunburn is not caused by heat, but the UV) Per my face to face chat with Michelin and an inspector, once you start moving again, the paraffin again gets to move and soften the compound. I would rather put new tire money into buying a new coach then to buy new tires. Not sure about your comment of money. Do you own a house? We don't. This is our home. Just like a home owner, the cost in this case is nothing more than our monthly mortgage. The home we sold in 2013 was appraised at $300K. The price of our coach was $330K. So more or less we have the same monthly payment. (Just no longer have to pay $12K a year in property taxes from Upstate NY!!!) If we were to by another coach at some point, as long as the payment is around the same, we are just fine with that. I would much rather do that every 7 years than to put that money into tires. :)

Yeah, I bet it'd be REAL easy to drive off with those things on. I would prefer the color red. You'd never miss RED tire covers!!

I just lost weight...thanks for noticing. If you go back in history in the videos, I have to say, I am amazed myself. I will also say I am loving it as I can do much more and I am, and now need to be, more active. (You will find out why soon!)

Praying for good health and many more miles

It was our house for 9 years that we lived full time on the road. We sold everything in 2013 and just bought a home again looking to setting down.

Same answer...It is hand on a case by case basis. If I was to say yes, that goes not mean they would say that to someone else. But in any case, they would be prorated.

All you got to do is pull it forward and rotate the tires 180 degrees you don't have to actually drive it

Richard Wolfe 10000000% incorrect ! I dare you to call Michelin, continental,Toto Commerical time 800 and ask them . FMCA meeting Michelin and continental BOTH did presentations and explained why the tires need to be used and heated up.

@@ryanp135 yeah I dare you to call Totally biased companies that are profit based and take their opinion like it's fact

@@ryanp135 are you really that dumb?

Richard Wolfe oh the ignorance in your statements is unreal. You obviously haven’t done any research. Just like Dave didn’t think Sunlight didn’t do any damage, next videos from him will be either a blowout or getting all tires replaced . Rubber dries out if not used . Exactly like on a car that is stored too long , what happens ? Tires dry rot from not being used . Stop sitting on your brain and actually read technical document s

Hey...Our Tiffin coach was only around $350K.... Just wanted to mention that as people for some reason think it is much more. :)

@@DavidBott Please forgive me if I sounded disparaging, It was not my intention. I notice that you, like my brother, will do extensive research and usually obtain the best and highest quality of the support systems needed for this lifestyle. Cost is usually a secondary consideration. I admire that quality very much. Too many in our society think that high quality products are a rip-off when one can get the "same" thing for half the cost. The hidden problem there is....you buy it twice, if not more. This goes to everything from tire protectors, to sewer hoses, solar controllers, tires,....everything.

Your other reply came in via e-mail, so I wanted to reply. No worries, I just happened to mention it as people for some reason think we have a $1M coach and we surely do not. Though it is a very, very nice coach. :) You are right however, somethings that you pay for are worth it and thus is worth paying more for. This product is well made and I was very pleased with the construction when then arrived. And yes, you surely can buy products 1/2 the price sometimes, but you also run the chance at it being a knock-off. Then again, some RV products have inflated values for NO REASON other than they put the word RV on the box thus to just sell something to someone that just does not know better. I really hate that!!!!

Are you talking about the wolf carving by the door? (But....Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh) :)
