Worst RV Road Trip EVER! Scary Tire Blowout.. Then Our BRAKES WENT OUT! 😳

[@johnlynch7433]

Hey guysthis is John that meet you on the road with the flat and I wanted to say thank you for entertaining us with your endless adventures. I also wanted to say that Eric and Allison are just as nice in person that they are on the videos. They are very genuine and very friendly. Hope to run into you again under better and safer circumstances.

[@kathykeene2092]

Thanks for stopping to help them! Most excellent!

[@jeffhampton2767]

Hey John thanks for helping them! You're a patriot! ❤🇺🇸🙏🏻✌🏻

[@alexandrugheorghe5610]

Well done, John!

[@johnrogers6291]

Good job John..you da Man!

[@sarah-phillips]

You're a legend for stopping and helping!

[@anttyzale5455]

Fords have bad brake boosters. The brakes still work but you have to push them reaaly hard like you stated.

[@michaelwaller6093]

Black Series are notorious for tire, wheel and axle issues. Most US dealers are no longer sticking them due to various issues. Good luck.

[@paulw8356]

From my almost 60 year career of driving you - name - it, and as a professional driving instructor, you should follow this advice as well as anyone else who is reading this: if you have a tire blow up on either a tow vehicle or a towed vehicle, do not, do not, DO NOT change it on the interstate! Drive on it slowly to the next exit, or spot where you can get away from traffic. If you ruin a wheel, that's perfectly OK, because wheels can be found rather inexpensively. Morgues and emergency rooms are considerably more costly.

[@johnthorpe6333]

Any trailer with two axles can be driven a short distance to get off the highway on three wheels.

[@juliemitchell9835]

Check your tyres regularly

[@jamesorendorff2731]

Good advice!!!!

[@tylerjames3029]

1000% I would never even consider doing what they did. I’d rather drive on the rim than die on the interstate. This is insane.

[@josephhicks6989]

You can tell they are genuine in their videos. If the world was even hslf as nice and happy as they are, it would be such a great place to live...

[@Pantherjonvideos]

Positive attitudes go a long way! So glad you guys are safe! As another truck driver, I can't stress enough as paulw has, that if this happens again DO NOT STOP ON THE SHOULDER OF THE FREEWAY! Limp to the next exit and get off the road and AWAY from traffic! Funny enough, I too, had a tire blow out on my trailer today, and that's what I did.. Keep the adventure rolling...And stopping when necessary..Stay safe!

[@ori9761]

In the UK you're told to never stay in the vehicle if you break down on the hard shoulder and to sit on the grass verge in case of a collision. Just curious is this not the same everywhere?

[@doughall5700]

Eric, What you need to do is, get a 2 x 10 about 2 feet long and lay it in the bed of your truck. The next time you have a flat on your trailer run the good tire on the 2 x 10 and that will raise the flat off of the ground and you won't need a jack to be able to take the flat off.

[@randywade389]

I love your videos'. I still watch when Allison "died" on the bungi cord jump off the bridge. Now your jokes are almost bringing me to tears! Keep the adventure going. You are just getting better!

[@PlanesTrainsEverything]

Watching you guys is my KZbin highlight of the week. Even when things go wrong you still remain upbeat.

[@peterwinstonaldredge6927]

I was so nervous for you stranded on that highway with cars flying by you! That must have been very scary. I know I wouldn't have wanted to be in that situation. I'm glad you were able to change the tire safely and be on your way. Maybe you need more good luck charms besides just Chuck.

[@FatherMarty]

Guys, you can get a Texas TollTag which will charge a credit card on file, and will work in Texas, Oklahoma (and potentially Kansas too). I live in Iowa but travel to Waco frequently and my K-tag (Kansas) works in OK and TX.

[@andrewmoody5242]

Hi Guys Messaging from Australia. You need to get a wheel alignment done on the van, otherwise those tires will go the same way. Common problem with all vans.

[@PlanesTrainsEverything]

It's a common problem with cars as well. Tyres should be rotated every now and again to ensure even wear.

[@jj-if6it]

@@PlanesTrainsEverything yep, I get mine rotated often when serviced

[@vickyrun8796]

Sorry you had so many problems. You have a good attitudes about it. Glad you made it.

[@duanerobertson9637]

Hey guys, another great video! Go out and pickup 20vt impact wrench, and a set of impact sockets. Makes life a lot easier if/when you get another flat. Also, and more important, never put a wheel lug nut into a socket and screw it in. That's a really good way to cross thread it and create another problem down the road. Always hand start them slowly to start it, then you can use a socket wrench to tighten it.

[@adriannurse1502]

Wishing you guys all the best. Now you have to have the truck and the trailer looked at to see why the tires are not wearing evenly.

[@Naedlj]

Glad y’all are safe!

[@jj-if6it]

Roadside assistance with no tools? Very helpful...

[@nfernandez11163]

Love you two. I’m living your adventures, fun and love through you. Funny and kind people. You have never failed. God’s blessings. Stay young and have fun everyday. My name is Neftali from Tucson.

[@gwynethglas-brown9171]

Wow thats was scary. 😱 what a a great Guy coming to your rescue😊 got off that Highway as quickly as possible 🫣. Thats lovely you got time to spend with Family 🥰 pleased every thing has been sorted 🙏 looking Forward to to your next adventure Take care have Good week 🥰

[@kevinfleming9919]

You can buy electric scissor Jack's and impact lug wrenches that connect to your car battery or power point to keep in your car/trailer. Makes changing a tire fast and easy!

[@stephanieknotts1720]

I just LOVE you two. I learn so much and appreciate that even through the super crappy times you present a cohesive approach to adversity God Bless you❤

[@emeraldglass9902]

I love the Ni Cola!!! And nobody carries it!

[@Theendlessadventure]

Right?! I think we've only seen them in 3 out of the hundred or so stores we've been in over the past few month.

[@_JoyceArt]

It’s terrifying seeing you two just sitting in the car. Here in the Netherlands first thing I learned in driving school, is to wait outside of the car, behind the guardrail (if there is one). To use a warning triangle thingy, and to use the hazards.

[@jackreacher2379]

I called road side assistance and they didn't bring a big enough jack either. So Iinstead I used leveling blocks to drive the front tire up on then I was able to change back tire. Just like your seneario.

[@karmalarma4367]

So glad you guys are safe. A tire blowout could have been a real danger. Then brakes. Phew. Look forward to your videos every week. Keep safe

[@-RONNIE]

Thank you both for the video I'm glad your ok & didn't have a complete blowout with the tire. I guess keep an eye on all your vehicles at least once or twice a month

[@lynettecarner]

Allison and Eric, I am sorry about all the things that went wrong on your travels, but the two of you make me laugh so hard. I love watching your travels, and your commentary is priceless. Safe travels. Sending Hugs 🤗🤗

[@sheilaathay2034]

I had AAAPlus for years! They are perfect roadside assistance. Go Triple A Plus!

[@Del-Lebo]

Yikes! Keep on Trucking! It is, indeed, part of the Adventure!!!

[@kennethwilliams7697]

Two of my favorite vloggers. You guys stay safe out there on the highway and byways.

[@jt.s.7418]

I was pleasantly surprised that you didn't make a overly dramatic tag for this video. I enjoy all of your videos and share your troubles and sorrows. Thank you❤

[@em......]

You guys deserve the best things to happen. Sending positive energy into the universe for you. I'm glad you made it off that highway safely and also got Chuck fixed. Hugs from Australia

[@buyerclub2]

Glad it all worked out, with nothing more serious. Good luck on your plans.

[@Short_and_tweet]

Love how upbeat you all are with all the crazy issues

[@genacostello5896]

Gosh you guys. I literally feel so bad for you all. Such nice people and a lot of random bad luck. It is okay to sometimes feel like why us. Sending good vibes your way!!! Thank you for sharing your ups and your downs. Xxoo

[@garulusglandarius6126]

Every journey throws up at least one problem so the fact that you’re almost constantly making big journeys it’s no wonder these issues arise. Excellent video, have fun and stay safe guys 😁👍❤️❤️🇺🇸🇬🇧

[@sean2148]

One of my biggest fears is a tire issue when traveling with the trailer. Glad it didn’t cause too much damage and y’all got off the road safe. Safe and happy travels y’all. That Freudian slip with the jack though…🤣

[@beverlypoirier705]

You poor kids, when it rains it pours!! But you are both right could of been a lot worse. Main thing everything is fixed no one was hurt and you spent some much needed time with family. Safe travels my friends...❤🙏

[@johnrogers6291]

Happy you made it home safe. Take a break and enjoy some Family time. 😊

[@davidcline9547]

Welcome back to Missouri! That's really bad when road side service is no help!!

[@Weffa225]

I had a scary blowout with my rv going 70... fishtailed but regained control, scary for sure!!!!!

[@Theendlessadventure]

Oh no!! So glad it wasn't worse 🙌

[@shannonlawson2219]

An alternative to using a jack is to drive up on levelers (if you have them with you). Glad you guys survived all that. Dealing with roadside "assistance" is frustrating because they either take all day, don't end up helping or still end up charging you an arm and a leg

[@ZXX984]

No trooper stopped by? In NY they go by often. Getting drivers and their vehicles off the shoulder is a priority. Help is radioed in and a tow truck driver who isn’t on a vital call must let that call go and respond to a situation such as this.

[@nathanbeaner928]

Thank you for talking about the toll road when we drove cross country Arizona to New York, we avoided the tolls just because didn’t want to pay for the pass device that goes on your window. If I had known they take cash we would’ve gone that way.

[@alexandrugheorghe5610]

You'll be looking with fondness back to these memories and adventures 😊

[@CarolStJohn-oz3oc]

I think you guys need to get some emergency road hazard triangles for the next time… I really hope there’s not next time… Love your channel and I look forward to every video release!

[@theathjr]

I almost commented on the last video when y’all took off in the truck & trailer thinking I hope they drive by a tire shop and have them get a lookover on the tires. 🤦🏼‍♂️

[@gerryrandallfox2402]

So glad you are safely home. Love your adventures but not when potentially dangerous for you both.

[@Mel.H_]

Nice job with the tire change! That "road side assistance" was appalling 😳 Good luck with what you're wishing for!!❤❤❤

[@jeffhampton2767]

Sorry about all your issues but you both still managed to put together a fun video to keep us in the loop. Looking forward to the surprises! ❤🇺🇸🙏🏻👍🏻

[@richardmoore2590]

When the storms of life assail you And the waves overturn your boat Don’t worry about what might have been Just lay on your back and float ( better days ahead friends)

[@alanclouser540]

Good luck guys and hope all goes well ❤

[@EatDrinkBeMerry]

Way to go, John! I’d trip out if I had the opportunity to help you guys.

[@jillwalls9330]

You had a very expensive week. Glad you made it safely. 😊

[@shelleylynn3033]

Oh my, sending you good positive vibes for your next travels! ❤

[@andystreet1479]

wow its important to get tyres checked glad that it wasn't worse and you got the brakes sorted on Chuck the truck

[@cindyellsworth8610]

Glad you all .ade it safe. Please enjoy your family time ❤️

[@thomasharhen2168]

And a piece of wood for under your jack for muddy or uneven grounds!!❤

[@sanlyn9]

You can get a Txtag toll tag that can be used for all Toll Roads in Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas. It’s a total lifesaver

[@FloridaandBeyond]

I did not know La Croix made a cola. Nice! My FIL's car broke yesterday, and he had the same problem. I am not sure why tow truck drivers don't have tools. You guys can't catch a break. Stay safe! Hopefully, better luck is coming your way!

[@Theendlessadventure]

Oh no! Such a bummer...you think you're saved and then you're back to square one. Sorry he had one of our unlucky types of days 👎

[@stevejobe9888]

Y'all are an absolute HOOT! You are both so real and your videos are AWESOME! World Class!! That gag about jacked up etc. was HILARIOUS!! I truly LMAO!! Great video, Ranks in my Top 3 all time of your videos!! ❤️

[@Theendlessadventure]

Aww, thank you!! Glad we can keep you laughing with us through all the adventures (and misadventures) 😆

[@RVingwithLuck]

Glad you made it through all that safe.

[@SewFrancine6120]

How funny LeCroix we bought a whole flat of hibiscus Add Malibu rum Good luck to you all.

[@fenwaywest]

Pro tip: since it is a dual axle just drive the other tire up on a couple of leveling blocks, no need to use a jack. Also highly recommend getting a cordless impact wrench at harbor freight, they are not too expensive, that way you can have the tire changed fast like a NASCAR crew before a semi runs into you. I have had a few trailer blowouts so I get quicker each time.

[@Amarieb29]

Yikes. Glad you are ok after all that. I will remember about the cash tolls in Oklahoma, I think I may be making a trip out that way later this year.

[@DanielleGlick]

When you guys say, "We'll see ya on the road" at the end of every video, I bet the subscriber who saw you stranded on the side of the road wasn't expecting it to happen so literally. You guys seriously have the worst luck in terms of frequency of bad events, although the Travel Beans have you beat on severity. 😵‍💫

[@Mel.H_]

😂

[@johnlynch7433]

It was funny we drove by and I said I think that’s Eric and Allison so I turned around and it sure was. They are a very nice couple and it was a pleasure meeting them.

[@skepticalmaiden]

😂😂😂

[@marvcbjorge]

Irons in the fire is the term and comes from having a bunch of branding irons in a fire to heat. During the cattle roundups of old, the calves’ ownership would be figured out by the mothers and then the owner’s branding irons would be selected for use.

[@michelleconcannon7584]

We had one of the 'china bomb' tires on our travel trailer blow on the interstate. Terrifying! Good to keep a bottle jack handy. We had tire sensors, but only alerted us about a half second before it blew. Luckily a trooper was kind enough to sit behind us with his lights on to keep people away and helped block for us to merge back on the highway. Glad you were ok!

[@bobknull7502]

LaCroix is made here in LaCrosse Wi. If you ever get up this way, you may be able to find it.

[@AutoHrycFix]

Keep up the good vibes and good attitude!! Crazy about the tire blow out! But for your brakes it might be the brake booster or the one way valve that is attached to it, it works with vacuum. The one way valve might be faulty! Just a suggestion! Drive safely

[@JohnandCaraRetiredTravellers]

You two always overcome the obstacles! I know it was stressful, but it’s inspiring for you to share “how to” when the @*it hits the fan! Great video guys! ~Cara 😊

[@Theendlessadventure]

🤣 Thanks, Cara!

[@jasonbird2628]

Poor Jeff! You should turn him around so he can see the view of where you’re going! Then turn him back around, looking into the RV when you stopped at someplace for the night. I think that will bring you guys better luck.

[@jasonbird2628]

I meant the bear. Maybe I got your names for things wrong 🤔

[@Johnny.D]

You could have used the trailer brake to help slow you down. Unless you use a electronic curt inline brake controller, then it may be difficult.

[@georgewinters3191]

Love your adventures and your attitude. You probably already know this but with so many vehicles that you keep changing , be a good idea to have basic tool kit in each for such emergency’s as tyre changes . I have a few vehicles here is Australia 🇦🇺, and all have a dedicated basic toolkit to get me out of trouble including proper jacks and blocks to get me out of trouble in isolated places… hoping to never have to use them 😊 Look forward to your alluded epic adventures ….. ❤️😊👍

[@TMAdventures316]

Sounds like a bad vacuum pump possibly some of the older diesels have vacuum brake boosters and use a vacuum pump for the booster

[@bigb2956]

Check your power steering pump fluid. That provides boost to your brakes so if its low on fluid it will also effect your brakes.

[@mrtdmt0309]

That's Good Sam for ya! Our experience was bad too. Switched to Coach-Net. Way better!

[@romans8286]

Did you know you can get toll pass for all states. EZ pass, Uni pass, Sun pass, there are lots of different ones. You put it on your windshield or dash. You should should check it out.

[@rodhampton56]

I live in Oklahoma and my pipe pass. Is good in Texas Missouri, Missouri and Florida.I thought The one issued in texas was Also good here In oklahoma.

[@michaelkurz9067]

The young lady is always saying something very funny:)

[@disneydorks6396]

Good Job you two!! All that and you still made a great vlog! Carry On!❤

[@sarah-phillips]

Yeesh - between the tire and the brakes I would be totally spent. So grateful it wasn't worse and you made it back to Missouri alright. My father-in-law has had many a trailer and said that can happen to the wheels because no matter the stated max weight, the trailer can still bow a bit, causing the tires to wear unevenly. We can put a man on the moon but can't solve this? Anyway, we can't wait to hear about your next trip! Hopefully somewhere not scorching for the summer.

[@desmondbeattie3954]

You looked great when your hair was blown off your face during the tyre change. Very handsome. Brenda

[@tammaralongman6791]

What a trip!! Family time is so important ❤️ love you guys🎉

[@assistant83]

600K! congrats guys! great channel!

[@spearfish60]

Good luck with the next Adventure 😊

[@stephaniluebben8064]

FYI... a Kansas, Oklahoma, or Texas toll tag work in all three states.

[@norm4907]

The easy way is put blocks in front of the fwd wheel and drive up. You can then remove the rear tire easily.

[@x35mmman]

you have a lot of bad dad jokes and I must when you said ....we can't get a break that made me smile

[@marge3157]

I swear, the moment you are in a place of inconvenience to go the bathroom, that is when your bladder starts screaming. BTW Roadside assistance sucks! We were left in NM and had to call another garage at our expense.

[@toddlucas1550]

Thanks John.

[@robertford7318]

We had the Rt rear trailer tire explode while driving on a 2 Lane Rd. down a mountain with no place to pull over with traffic both directions and by the time we were able to pull over the tire had taken out the entire right side of the trailer, ie: kitchen cabinets, Heater, plumbing, and electrical of our 27 foot Travel Trailer. It took us a whole year to do all the repairs. The tire was the spare that we had put on because we had a slow leak in a brand new tire in the valve and after it was fixed, we left the 10 yr old spare on & even though it looked brand new, we should’ve changed it back to the new one! Big mistake!

[@Reaglesracing44_]

boosters are a common failure on those trucks. ford had a recall back in the 90’s on that issue

[@afasetu8632]

Endless Problems continue 😅😅 Great work team

[@laurenm6511]

I confused. I thought the company loaned you that trailer. They are super expensive. How do you still have it

[@robertadams2857]

I’ve watched you on and off for several years. Interesting channel especially your foreign adventures. After watching several videos about the Black Series trailers not being of the best quality or backed by the manufacturer very well, I was shocked you have one.

[@debstockdale3270]

Maybe take the trailer for a wheel alignment. We had the same issue with our 5th wheel and it just needed a wheel alignment and the tires were all good after that

[@gingercrowe4580]

Agree! Suspension could be an issue if tires are wearing unevenly. May want to get that checked so you don't ruin new tires.

[@thomasharhen2168]

Ya'll are funny! Its legit issues with ya'll , Makes me want to purchase a rustic 1970s camper and head out on the open road!!❤❤❤

[@kenmatthews6476]

Friendly tip: you can put your leveling ramp under the good tire on the passenger side to lift it.
