2. Use new tubes

Palaver: David has named motorhomes "dinosaurs" and decided he doesn't like them at all.  Not on the road and certainly not in the campground with their generator roaring.  We respectfully request the Powerbar Corp to invest in more R/D.  We are tired of having our fillings yanked and struggling with wrappers.
