As much as we dislike to park our RV's, we cannot drive them every day, day in and day out.  When our rigs are parked tire maintenance continues to be a very important issue.  Most owners overlook an important component while parked.  Using a vapor barrier between the parking surface and the tire foot-print.

Sam uses Landing StripsTire manufacturers recommend that a vapor barrier be used between the tires and the parking surface as a method to prevent premature tire failure or possible tire tread separation from deterioration caused by moisture.  This vapor barrier MUST be made of a High density material that will block moisture from entering the tire tread where the rubber meets the road.

Front and Rear, Landing Strips saves our tiresRanger Design, a company that specializes in high tech RV, automotive, trailer and motorcycle maintenance and tire protection products has solved the vapor barrier issue with its unique "Landing Strips" tire product.  Landing Strips are relatively inexpensive and offer a bonus as they are an attractive looking product to boot.

Specially cut-to-fit strips of a medical grade high density plastic are available in sets to accommodate any RV, tow vehicle, travel trailer, 5th wheel, motor coach and even your car parked at home while you winter in the south.

Easy CleanA set of 2 single tire Landing Strips sells for $14.95, but most owners will need a set of 4 single-tire strips, which retails for $24.95.  A set of 2 singles and 2 duals-size Landing Strips are packaged for the motor home and dually tow vehicle for $34.95.

Landing Strips are easy to position (a handle is cut into the dual size strips) and clean.  They are very durable, light and when not in use, take up very little space.  The manufacturer recommends that Landing Strips be used when your vehicle is parked for 5 or more days to optimize the protection of your tires.
