Woo Hoo! Dreaded Tire thread begins!! :-) 
  
With the westy, you empty your water tank and have everyone go sit on the back matress over the engine compartment. 
Then the right rear wheel will get traction. 
  
I've found that tires do make a difference, but if you have a westy with a left-side weight bias, and tall springs, it is oh-so-easy to get in a position to unweight the right-rear wheel and then all you get is spin.
