[@Cptstokes]

That's why I carry 2 spares and a tire changer ramp. What a PIA! But on the up side, you were able to pull off onto a safe place to change it out. BTW RecPro carries new fender skirts. Don't ask me how I know!

[@johnnyrod251]

I admire how supportive you were in the mini crisis, my wife would’ve panicked and scolded me for not buying tires lol

[@sandyoklahomatransient8557]

Thank goodness you were able to get off the main highway to identify the problem, and change the tire. You're so right about being prepared. Having the right tools on hand for your rv, and vehicle will make a world of difference when you run into a situation. I sure wouldn't want to be way out in the mountains or desert with no tools, and have a need for tools. Being prepared is the secret!

[@JJs-ClassC-Adventures]

Thanks for video. We use a Trailer-aid for changing a tire. It takes just minutes to replace the tire. We are meticulous about monitoring our tires and have had 2 tread separations and two blow outs. We replace our tires every 3 years. Looking forward to Zion.

[@FindingOurSomeday]

That does look handy! 4 tires failures over how many years? I’m really looking forward to sharing the Zion episode 😃

[@JJs-ClassC-Adventures]

@@FindingOurSomeday It was 4 tires in 12 years.

[@thomashanlon9091]

I'am glade you all are safe. two things came to mind when I was watching this. One was to always check the spare tire's air pressure when installing it. two was that the spare is also getting old and dry rotting. When you replace your tires you should also replace the spare.

[@suecovert7643]

rotate your space with your tires so they all were out

[@timburton1715]

Get a Tire Pressure Monitoring System... it really should be mediatory from the manufacturers but heck, they only do the bare minimum... Glad everyone was okay 👌... I would've attempted to secure the trailer fender area with some duct tape to prevent further damage but it's all good 😊... love ❤️ Palm Springs

[@FindingOurSomeday]

They are starting to integrate tpms into rigs from the factory now. Actually With the system we have in the giveaway. Thank you 🙏

[@ShoHashi]

Wow...sucks about the blown tire. At least no one was hurt and damage minimal. Hopefully by now you've got it repaired. Thanks for sharing!

[@FindingOurSomeday]

All better, thank you 😊

[@armandocordero1667]

Hey guys I missed you guys pulling out of Richarson's RV in Menifee. I was the UPS driver pulling in. I would have said HI to you guys but didnt notice it was you guys and I was too busy with the traffic there. By the way I delivered that microwave couple days before that day. Take care and will join your guys soon on the road in my own RV!

[@FindingOurSomeday]

That’s crazy! You made it in the Vlog at least 😃 make sure you stop us next time you see us!

[@janphillips8340]

Oh guys! So glad no one was hurt and the tire situation wasn’t worse!! We love FOS!!

[@ashleyhickert3349]

We just took our new rig out this past weekend. We stayed close to a small town and met with friends. We wanted to take it easy just in case we needed or forgot something. It was awesome to have knowledgeable friends who helped us out. Glad you were all ok.

[@FindingOurSomeday]

Nice! Was it a successful shakedown? Sounds like some good friends!

[@nomowworries3745]

Love how y’all keep cool and level headed in a crazy time. Shows real maturity on the road. Great video and knowledge on a tire change. Praying for safe travels!

[@krec2133]

Glad everyone was ok! We just picked up our rig a few weeks ago and can’t wait to get out with our 3 children!

[@markcebron7397]

Blowouts are certainly no fun! Suggest you purchase a torque wrench and ensure you tighten those lug nuts to the appropriate torque.

[@Tx2Stepn]

The next time I have a flat I’m going to try to remember to film it. It’s much easier to raise the trailer using the power of your truck. Use an Andersen Rapid Jack or Trailer Aid. Glad you guys are safe.

[@mikz86ta1]

Tip. Ryobi has a sale at Home Depot now for their battery tire inflator (no battery). Buy a battery and/or with the Ryobi battery impact and charger. The 1-2 batteries work both tools and both would help and save you time on the road side. The impact will do our dually F350 and our triple axle 5th wheel. Both have high torque.

[@mmkiehn]

Agree, never ever rush! Wise decision to get off the highway onto the exit ramp. Your experience prompted me to have new tires put on our Open Range travel trailer before our excursion from Montana to Colorado, Arizona, California, and Washington to ride several scenic vintage railroads. Keep Safe Always!

[@FindingOurSomeday]

Thank you, that sounds like an amazing trip! I love the railroads mission! You stay safe as well! !

[@Cdentonphr]

So glad and thankful that no was hurt and that your home was not severely damaged!! PTL!! Keeping y'all in prayers for safe keeping, prosperity of every good kind and miracle blessings!! 💕

[@kahleybarricklow8492]

So glad we upgraded to the endurance tires as soon as we got our new Winnebago Voyage!

[@birdlady2725]

I'm glad you are OK. This is why I try to Not ride beside tractor trailers on the highway - either stay behind, or pass quickly, as their tires are high pressure and when they blow, it is terrifying. Try to make sure pressures are as even as possible, if really hot, highway speeds will heat them even more, so maybe reduce by a couple pounds (check with tire specialists though to be safe). Put flashers on when on side of road - helps truckers be aware so they can be more cautious when going by you. Glad you had dual axle and spare. Be Safe and have fun!

[@letsgolearnmore]

So glad you stayed safe & took your time with the tire repair. Super tip to use a Hwy exit ramp - very reassuring to know you weren’t right on the main road!

[@FindingOurSomeday]

Glad that was helpful! I don’t trust people to pay attention on the Highway, I didn’t want to get slammed into😱

[@1sheinz]

Lesson learned, ALWAYS use actual TRUCK tires on heavy trailers. They are designed to higher standards that extend beyond weight carrying capacity to actual lives of occupants capacity. A trailer blow out dosn't usually cost lives but a blow out on a steering tire can and does cost lives, so they have a much better construction. CHEERS Steve h.

[@FindingOurSomeday]

I think the endurance are pretty good tires for the weight of our trailer. I’ve done a bunch of reading in the past and now , but there still seems to be some debate about a good ST tire vs LT . When it’s time to replace again, I’ll revisit it again. Appreciate the comment, thank you. It’s a good conversation to have!

[@suecovert7643]

your wrong , trailor tires are ten ply and much stronger

[@badgerpa9]

Get some cones to use for tire changing, they can also be markers for a quick soccer field. Some people put a metal plate above the tire so if it peels it will not tear the camper bottom up. Glad it was not to bad of an experience, you all were safe.

[@chrisabyrd]

Been watching your channel for a little over a year now and really enjoy watching the adventures. We bought or first travel trailer last July and our first pick up a week later lol I know I know it’s backwards but that’s how it worked out. A month later we hit the road. We went a across Idaho and Oregon to spend a week on the coast. One of the best times of our lives. We are totally hooked on the rv life. Anyway happy you’re all safe and no one was hurt.

[@LeslinAdventures]

Same thing happen to us. We changed all four tires right away to Goodyear endurance

[@FindingOurSomeday]

It stinks, but, live and learn 🤷‍♂️😃

[@Pilgrimdave1960]

Dudes! Tearing off the factory sticker is THE BEST!

[@FindingOurSomeday]

Haha , we’re easily amused 😂

[@U20E27]

Yeah trailer tires are no fun. When I was in HS we lost a trailer tire / hub. My little brother says hey dad I think thats our tire passing us! My dads response was classic. “Yup” It was a back country two lane road. I had to run after it with a fire extinguisher dry grass everywhere maybe 1/4 mile run😆.

[@ronwilson5906]

god thats funny

[@jethead]

Had the exact same thing happen to us about ten days ago. 20,000 miles on the original (Chinese made) tires, front right trailer tire catastrophically exploded and tore off metal sheeting and fender. Fortunately I have a 3 ton rapid pump aluminum jack from Harbor Freight and a 1/2” electric Mac impact gun that made changing to the spare very quick and easy. I bought 4 new Good Year Endurance trailer tires within a week. I highly suggest you get new tires ASAP. You will continue to have this happen till you do. God bless, love your family, love your channel. Sorry, spoke to soon, saw that you plan on changing tires. We went with Good Year Endurance and are happy with them.

[@Cptstokes]

Excellent call on Goodyear Endurance tires. This past winter I replaced all 6 of mine with them plus the CRE300 with this wet bolt shackle straps and what a difference! 6 because I carry 2 spares. After 2,000 miles, no wear and they track true, after an alignment.

[@FindingOurSomeday]

Love hearing the good reports from others as well on the Goodyears. Glad they are working well for you! Safe travels and thanks for watching!

[@Janine1430]

Well, that just stinks. A blown tire isn't that bad, but when it takes out the fender that really stinks. So glad you are all safe. Hubby and I enjoy your adventures. Thanks for having a giveaway!!

[@FindingOurSomeday]

It did stink , but we really can’t complain, not much has gone wrong with the ground we have covered😃 (knocking on wood 😂) thanks for watching !

[@larrybarras8418]

Ryobi cordless impact wrench at Lowe’s. I never leave home without it.

[@FindingOurSomeday]

Perfect! I actually have a dewalt 1/2 inch impact now. I drive around with an embarrassing amount of Dewalt cordless tools now, including a chainsaw 🙈😂

[@Jimbos1954]

Would recommend reading owners manual about jacking a travel trailer. Never place the jack under the axle, pretty sure instructions recommend using the jack on the frame closest to the tire. The axle isn’t rated for the weight (they are hollow) and not designed to support a jack. RV dealers know this, tire shops don’t so I always show them how to properly raise the trailer to change tires.

[@suecovert7643]

bs

[@michaelthola1709]

Glad everyone is ok and that sucks about the side of the RV, once it s fixed it'll be good as new.

[@FindingOurSomeday]

You’re absolutely right! Thank you 🙏

[@jimgordanier7565]

Just before viewing your video we lined the wheel wells with sheet metal and under coated them and replaced the tires. We have a Grand Design reflection 315 and the floor started rotting out is why we started this project but after seeing what the blowout did to your floor we are really glad we did it

[@FindingOurSomeday]

Sorry to hear about the damage to your floor. Hope the new liner on the wheel well helped! We actually only had exterior cosmetic damage with the tread coming off. No underbelly damage and no damage to our floor. Thanks so much for watching!

[@admorris11]

The sheet metal may help with water intrusion, but unfortunately will do little to nothing if a tire really lets go

[@kenpaulson6212]

Thank goodness you guys are safe! It's time to invest in a TPMS system. I wouldn't of prevented this but it could have given you some warning before it happened. Same thing happened to my wife and I and we were able to pull over before the tire blew out and damaged or 5th wheel.

[@FindingOurSomeday]

We had one at the time, but just hadn't installed it yet. Just another reminder not to put things off!

[@nancynarraway2183]

Welcome home! Glad there were no injuries with blow out. I keep telling my husband we need a TPS system for our rig.

[@FindingOurSomeday]

Thank you 🙏 TPMS adds a little piece of mind in an already stressful world😃 your best protection is still going to be not overloading and paying attention to the road though😎 have a great week!

[@scottlewisparsons9551]

Thank you for another great video. The year was about 1964. For some reason my father had put retread tires on the back wheels of his Jaguar. The back left tire broke, the steel band holding the tire onto the wheel broke while driving up a steep hill on the desert road on the way from Wellington to Tauranga. You learn from your parents mistakes, I have always bought new tires, and the best I can afford!

[@n.harper2652]

Get a tire bat the next time you stop at a truck stop. Strike each tire like the truck drivers do, change in sound and bounce of the bat will give away a tire that is separating

[@FindingOurSomeday]

Interesting, never heard of that! Thank you !

[@aprilbracken9807]

absolutely love your channel. look forward to it every Sunday now.

[@FindingOurSomeday]

Glad you are enjoying the videos! It’s an honor to us that you allow us in your home on TV😊

[@guystewart6239]

So refreshing not to have to listen to foul language even when things go wrong. You guys are an awesome family.

[@johnmetzker7625]

When a trailer manufacturer releases a unit the tires are the lowest Load Range for that unit, typically D or E. I've put about 1.5 million miles on different tires and I've learned to get at LEAST 12 ply tires (Load Range F, G when I can) and get tires with a Load Capacity Index that will more than carry the entire load of half your trailer weight (a blowout will force the remaining tire to carry the load of the other axle). Also the date of the tire seems to be overlooked by most people. I would never trust a tire more than 4 years old even if they've never been on the road! That rubber will deteriorate faster by age (and never actually SHOW dry rot) than by most other factors.

[@scenictravels4664]

totally agree. We have a 42' toyhauler triple axle and upgraded to 14 ply Sailun tires. They take 110 psi I run 100 psi. Tires are very heavy

[@Daniel-eb3mp]

Love watching you guys. Sorry that had happened and luckily not very much damage.

[@FindingOurSomeday]

Thank you 🙏 we made out alright in the end 😃

[@nickid5889]

Your patience is admirable...truly. Good job, and the palm trees/ sunset were awesome!!

[@FindingOurSomeday]

Thank you🙏😊 patience is definitely a good virtue to have when RVing 😃

[@cmcoho]

Blow outs suck!! Glad you all are ok! Sheet metal can be fixed!!

[@pippenln5594]

Glad you guys are all okay! We had that happen on the way to the camp ground and then at the same exit on the return leg. Frist it was the front passenger side tire and on the way home it was the rear passenger side tire. Thankfully there was a truck/tire shop at the exit and we were able to get their last tire for our trailer and get us back on the road since the spare was already being used. I didn't see the tires blow, but thankfully people drove up along side us and signaled us to pull over. Messed up our fender like your's and also broke off the grounding bolt for our fridge, furnace, and microwave.

[@FindingOurSomeday]

Sorry to hear that you had 2 blowouts in one trip! Glad you guys were ok and that the tire shop was near by! Thanks so much for watching!

[@danopureblood7066]

I would check the alignment, the wear looks like it could be off! A quick easy way is to measure the distance between tires on both side, it should be exactly the same! Glad all are OK!

[@ronglickman2641]

Glad that you’re all ok, good call to trust your instinct and get somewhere safe to check. Our trailer has Goodyear Endurance tires from the factory, outside of one wearing out sooner than the rest (axle alignment issue, 2 new GY Endurance replacements on that axle) we’ve had great wear after 15k miles. I installed a TPMS system yesterday, more piece of mind. We’re headed to Zion and Bryce on our next adventure, hopefully we’ll be able to see your video before we get there!

[@FlashInYourPan]

As I say in the gold prospecting community to the newcomers, it's a never-ending learning curve, I would say that this applies to RV'ing also, we are also on the road from part-time RV'ing to full-time... Thank you!

[@FindingOurSomeday]

Your absolutely right! Always learning😃

[@gerardhoward5321]

Sorry about you tire damage .... As always your videos are the best... y’all are always teaching 👍🏻

[@FindingOurSomeday]

Glad you have enjoyed them! Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment! It means a lot!

[@bobstanley7954]

Love the videos you do … y’all are so down to earth and good for us homies as we say in the south. Great job with the tire change - same thing happened to us in September on I40 just outside of Nashville. Our blowout ripped the tire to pieces and was on the driver side. Fortunately got completely off I40 and you’re spot on about having the right tools, including torque wrench, saved the day - no accident! Keep up the great work!!!

[@66imper]

Since your tire lost tread and was not flat, a TPMS might not have noticed anything wrong. Unless it’s temp was high, then maybe it would set off an alarm. Glad the damage was not worse. You rocked the change in no time.

[@karene4164]

So thankful you were all OK! Such a bummer to have your trailer messed up! Good perspective on dealing with what’s already happened. Always learning!

[@ronaldbogard7012]

One blowout caused 3500$ damage to our trailer, thank goodness for insurance!! So I learned a lesson, change your tires every 4-5 years regardless of mileage. I also carry a battery powered impact gun and a bottle jack

[@phyllissmith2538]

We had a blowout in a tire that was just past warranty. It was in good shape to look at it. We'd heard that we should replace the trailer tires every five years regardless. A tire guy told us all our tires looked good, and he wouldn't replace them. Now we know if we'd stuck with the 5 year rule, it would have saved us a blowout. Also, we recommend AAA's roadside service, but be sure to get the additional membership for your trailer. They changed the tire for us and we were on our way.

[@lorraineanderson149]

That Happened to me a few years back in Montana. 3 hours later the other tire went. Lessoned learned. Even if they look good, it's time to replace them all when they split like that. Glad you are safe.

[@FindingOurSomeday]

Such a bummer to have one right after the other. I'm really happy with the Goodyears now. Thanks so much for watching!

[@bobshaw4063]

So sorry about the damage to your RV.. Glad you were in a safe spot to change the tire .

[@Stephenja]

Just a word to the wise. When a tyre delaminated like that you have to be careful of the wire sticking out. Also a great idea removing the air.

[@sherriweber7105]

Hi Corey and Jess! So glad you guys are ok from the tire blow out. Glad it wasn’t worse. Glad you you got it fixed. Sorry about the fender issue. Some welcome home that was. Glad you got the micro wave back and fixed as well. Glad you are going to Mount Zion. They have a new park that opened too you go check it out in Utah. It’s called Utah Raptor Park. It’s in Moab Utah. Thank you all again for this video. Beef jerky looked good. Have not had any in a long time. You all have a great week abs see you soon and stay safe.

[@FindingOurSomeday]

Hey Sherri! Everything turned out good in the end thank you! We’re excited to share Zion 😃 thanks for the tip on the new park! We will check it out if we’re in the area ! You have a great week as well!

[@droningharry]

Gotta say you handled the tire really well, probably better than I would have. Just got take it in stride and keep going you just never know when trouble is going to strike. Great example to us all.

[@FindingOurSomeday]

Well thank you! I appreciate the encouragement. I fully expected to get hammered in the comments section for this video , but for the most part everyone has been nice! Thank you 🙏

[@afzski]

Glad you are safe -- and things changed soo easy -- But this event is prime reason to have a TPMS system for the TT Tires !!! you would have had an instant indication that there was a tire problem and which one it was !!! I would invest in a better jack also !! those screw type ones are the pits!!!

[@FindingOurSomeday]

You’re right about that jack, it’s terrible. I’m going to swap it out with a better bottle jack. I wonder if a TPMS would have picked up the failure since it didn’t actually loose pressure. It might have heated up though?

[@dangossett712]

Glad things were a# bad as they could have been. Great example of staying cool under pressure

[@FindingOurSomeday]

Thank you 🙏 you’re right, it could have been worse 🙈

[@rolliegoal1]

I noticed you used a bottle jack to lift the axle. Have you ever seen the Andersen Rapid Jack? You would just have to back your rear tire up on it and the axle with the blow out would just float. Might be an option. Anyways, glad you guys were all okay. Love how calm everyone was. I need to learn from that because I was fuming for you when it happened and here you guys are, cheerful and just going about your business. Good luck from Canada.

[@drewsbenmad]

I have the Goodyear tires and added a tire monitoring system for peace of mind. Keeping track of the pressure and temperature of the tires will reduce the amount of breakdowns hopefully.

[@FindingOurSomeday]

Sounds like your doing all that you can, just enjoy the ride now😎

[@leekimm6826]

Glad it turned out so well! The worst time for tires is when they have been sitting around with weight on them. The other thing is when we are boondocking we forget how much we bounce those tires around or going through a parking lot if they get curbed here and there. Best policy... When they hit 22000- 25000 miles get rid of them no matter what they look like. If it makes you feel any better when I bring our's into Liberty; for service. You see this all the time. More on the stacker tailer's like ours. Once again I'm glad you are OK. Love your Video's

[@TravelingNana63]

My first flat with my truck i didn't even know how to get the tire down it had been so long since I had had a flat and things had changed so much. A nail.in the road was the culprit. I you tubed how to change my tire lol so from now.on when I buy a vehicle of any kind they will show me how to use this stuff. So glad no one else was hurt and that sun set wow .

[@toddsoutsideagain]

Could have been worse. Glad you are all ok. It’s happened to us as well. If you pull a RV long enough you will experience a blowout at some point. I feel like I should get my tires replaced now🤣 Thanks for sharing. Stay safe!

[@UncaDave]

Great job and back on the road. I had a blowout on I-278, I think it was. I only have a single axle on my Wolf Pup so it ruined the wheel too and a stabilizer jack which had to be removed. My stabilizer bars on my hitch set up kept it all straight too when it blew. Learned some lessons as I now carry a hydraulic bottle jack, carry wood cribbing anyways for setup, have two spares and even carry a battery powered impact wrench. I also have a collapsible orange cone to place out there too so other drivers might see me better. I’m ready for the next one!!! If you get the impact wrench note that you need impact quality sockets. They are black and Lowe’s sells them. I got the wrench at an auto supply store. Glad you all are safe too. What we all dread is this happening at night in the rain or going through a congested interstate area of a big city. You really did very well and as always are a hero to your family!!!

[@ellenwelch8267]

Oh man, that IS a bummer! We had that happen on a previous rig & it tore the fender all up! Thankfully they can be replaced... and everyone is okay! BTW, we are ALL about DTC! Our son-in-law manages a store in Killeen,Texas and they have been a GREAT company to work for... they treat their employees right also!

[@KevinCoop1]

We bought a used Class A and it had oxidized sides. Fiberglass with vinyl graphics. These are some cleaning things I recently found and did. To waterless wash your truck or camper, use Windex or equal. Spray on wipe off. Takes off a little oxidation and all the grime. To make it shine, used Nu Finish auto polish. Wipe it on wipe it off. Ours was so bad needed 2 treatments. To condition vinyl graphics, Howard’s butcher block conditioner. Too late for ours, bad when we got it, but made them look way better! Keeps vinyl from drying and getting brittle. Clean windshield and chrome or stainless with 4/0 steel wool dry rubbed. Apply Nu Finish on windshield and chrome. Better than Rainex. Our coach shines again! Just thought I would share. Respectfully, Kevin

[@donnaharris4459]

Glad everyone was ok and well done Corey putting the spare on 👍👍. Lilly made me laugh "Does this mean we are getting a 5th wheel" 🤣😅 bless her. Safe travels ❤🇬🇧

[@davidpollock7215]

So sorry this happened! I am glad you all were safe and it did'nt completly blow.

[@FindingOurSomeday]

We were relatively lucky! Thank you 🙏

[@Jedidiahjones]

I feel your pain man. Our first travel trailer we had 3 blow outs in less than a year. Luckily none of them did damage to our camper.

[@FindingOurSomeday]

That’s awesome that none of them did damage!

[@camperbum]

Seen a old man with 5th wheel one time blow a tire, my buddies and I were in big rigs, we finally got him to pull over, his had caught on fire by this time, it damaged way more then you got, we got the fire out, glad you all did have that happen, and thoses tpms's are life savers, everyone should have them...

[@GoByYourself]

That's why in the back of our 3500HD we keep 2 spares.. one for the truck and one for the rig. You may want to invest in a ARB High Output on board Air Compressor along with a wheeled hydraulic pump jack -- Say it's nighttime and pouring down rain on the shoulder of a Interstate and your rig is shaking from the 18wheelers flying on by.. you want to get that tire changed with NASCAR pit-crew speed.

[@FindingOurSomeday]

I actually do want to add air bags with an onboard compressor! I have a cordless 1/2 inch impact now, and a leveling system so I may be able to cheat if it happens again 😃

[@jamesgritz404]

you guys are lucky not too much damage to the trailer good job picking a spot to repair it you might want to get a torque wrench for the lug nuts

[@kerwynthomas4923]

[@FindingOurSomeday]

Thank you! Yes we were good 🙏😊

[@kerwynthomas4923]

@@FindingOurSomeday I hope it never happens to us.. scary..

[@allens7476]

Good choice with the GY Endurance. I added steel valve stems for the TPMS. I also love Discount Tire. I drive 40 miles out of my way to shop there. Nice people, super clean shop, the only place I've ever seen use a torque wrench on lug nuts. A word of caution, even thought the tire guys are accommodating, don't be shy about telling them where to place the jack. (especially Airstreams) and how much pressure you want in the tire.

[@sallykennedy9198]

2 weeks with a clean truck, I am so jealous! I love having a clean truck!

[@nicolepratt4188]

Just changed out the stock tires on my 2018..... we only had a few hundred miles on them.. the stock tires on most rvs are awful....your video makes me glad we did

[@FindingOurSomeday]

Probably a good idea! Tires are relatively cheap insurance! Much cheaper then tearing up the side of your rig 🙈😱

[@The_Traveling_Caldwells]

We are getting new tires on the RV before we leave for the summer! Now, if we just had the perfect tire monitoring system.

[@FindingOurSomeday]

That will definitely be good piece of mind! Good luck on the contest 😃

[@kelleyblackshear8081]

This happened to us just a few miles from home on our way back from a 2 week trip. What a bummer! Glad you all are ok! That TPMS system is defined in our wish list!

[@FindingOurSomeday]

In a way it stinks that you almost made it home! I view it like this , you were close to home to take care of it easier, and most importantly lucky it happened then, and not 10 mins into the next trip ruining a brand new adventure 😃

[@normparrott3055]

a TPMS system won't prevent a cheap tire from tread separation! Replace the chinese OEM tires with quality ones, like Goodyears. Best investment you can make to protect your larger investment! Oh ya, buy a torque wrench as well. Your wheel nut torque is something you should be checking regularly too.

[@jimleininger8963]

Well, first of all, I would suggest getting a flat tire when it's raining sideways. Snow and rain mix would be bonus points. Secondly, you picked the wrong side. How else are you going to get all new sewer plumbing?

[@FindingOurSomeday]

Definitely good tips for next time! 😂 Thanks for watching!

[@iglapsu88]

Glad no one got hurt. You all we're lucky. Stay safe out there on the roads!

[@mikesayakin]

Glad to see there were no injuries or serious danger. That's one of my biggest fears with our trailer. Y'all handled like pro's.

[@FindingOurSomeday]

Thank you! We are thankful that it wasn't worse!

[@jethead]

Your friend with the F-250 are from Virginia!!! We are also from Va. now domiciled in Texas! Hope to see y’all on the road.

[@guntherflume7129]

Rving 30 years had 2 blow outs (class c) both times tire date codes were 5 years old , with mint tread , minor damage installed warning system , and change tires at 4 years , haven’t had a problem sense , nicely done 💪

[@Temmeyhobbs]

Glad everyone is ok and rig isn’t too badly beat up.

[@FindingOurSomeday]

Thank you, and you’re right , it could have been way worse!

[@krakkerbox1214]

Here's a tip no Jack necessary just get a small ramp and pull the tire that's good up on the ramp and that will raise the bad tire off the ground and you can change it easily another tip loosen the lug nuts a little bit first

[@johnbandy4802]

Don't sweat the tire. I know someone that had a new fifth wheel and had a blowout. Also a brother that deals in tires. Unless they're bald or have a really old tire date, then you cannot look at them and know when they are going to come apart. Had a set on a travel trailer that were right at ten yrs old. Never had a problem, but we decided to start going farther from home, so I put new ones on. Glad the damage was minimal. Cause it can tear the flooring up.

[@t.l.robinson2162]

The RV can be repaired. I'm glad that it wasn't worse and that no one was hurt.

[@annlawrence8021]

Welcome back home! The blowout is definitely a bummer for you all. Glad to know everyone is okay. We love watching your travels, we’re heading out west this summer for a six week trip in our travel trailer. Maybe we’ll see you on the road, Someday!

[@FindingOurSomeday]

Thanks so much for watching! Hope you guys have an awesome trip! 😃

[@ipdstudiosdk]

Was watching the new episode and was glad to see it’s all ok. We have a new GD and just changed to tires recently to GOODYEAR Endurance for peace of mind and the longer trips too. Glad you all have new kicks on the rig!!! Enjoy the road!

[@pilotjohnnyg]

Just put the Good Years on my GD Imagine 2800BH!! I am confident we both made a good call on those tires.

[@reverendws]

You guys are awesome. You're the real "Someday" crew. Love watching your videos. Thank You.

[@tammyeames9306]

I feel your pain been there but did not have as much damage. glad everyone is ok.

[@robertpahlowjr4257]

Blowouts suck. Glad you came through it ok.

[@TheHavocdog]

We bought a 4 year old Bullet Premier. 28 ft long box. Pulling it home for the 1st time we blew a tire. They were c rated Chinese tires. I saw that the total gross load bearing weight of the tires was less than the gross vehicle weight rating. But if you add on the tong weight that the truck normally carries. The tire rating and the weight supported by the truck, slightly exceeded the gross maximum vehicle weight of the camper. So that means that the C load rated tires were at best minimally acceptable for the camper but no spare capacity. We didn't feel comfortable running on the bare minimum capacity of the tires. Within a week we replaced all tires with a D load rated Endurance tire which gave us about 400# of extra security. They have 2 extra ply in them over the old ones. Also the Endurance tires were rated at 65 miles per hours maximum speed versus the old tires that were only rated to a max speed of 55 MPH. WE HAVE NOW TRAVELED almost 6000 miles on the new tires without a problem. The safety and security of the better tires is well worth the monetary investment.

[@thomasholder8845]

Happened to us last month on drivers side. Same damage, but also took out our plumbing on the outer side of the dumb valve. Had to cut the trip short as we had no way to dumb,

[@FindingOurSomeday]

So sorry to hear that the blowout messed up your trip. Hope you guys are all put back together now and able to enjoy this summer!

[@vdubu1873]

Get a torque wrench, a good recommendation that not many people follow. It helps you to evenly tighten your lug nuts. Over-torquing lug nuts can damage wheels and uneven torque can warp your brake drums and cause drag with will increase tire temperature.

[@FindingOurSomeday]

All very good reasons to have a torque wrench 😳
