|| THIS EPISODE || In this eposdide, we pack up the RV after having it stored at our friends’ (@ourlivelytribe and @ourlivelytribervrenovations) house while we were in Maine, and headed to Palm Springs, California, where we experienced our first tire blowout on the side of the road.
We stayed at @thousandtrails Palm Springs RV Resort and got to reunite with our friends, @hinson.co and @rvlovetravel as well as getting to meet fellow UA-camrs, @livinglightrv. Thousand Trails has been a great resource for us in meeting other families and full-timers on the road!
Special thanks to Sarah and Kim at Richardson’s RV in Sun City, CA.

I admire how supportive you were in the mini crisis, my wife would’ve panicked and scolded me for not buying tires lol
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!
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!
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!
That’s crazy! You made it in the Vlog at least 😃 make sure you stop us next time you see us!
Love the calm, positive attitude in dealing with the tire situation. Glad everyone is safe and you are back on the road again! Zion is beautiful...enjoy!
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!
This story is amazing. I'm so glad you're all okay and no one was hurt. It could have been worse.
I started following your adventures after seeing you on LJMJ. You are one of the channels that inspire us and we love to watch week after week. Thank you for sharing!
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!
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!
Oh guys! So glad no one was hurt and the tire situation wasn’t worse!! We love FOS!!
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!
All better, thank you 😊
Same thing happen to us. We changed all four tires right away to Goodyear endurance
It stinks, but, live and learn 🤷♂️😃
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
They are starting to integrate tpms into rigs from the factory now. Actually With the system we have in the giveaway. Thank you 🙏
Great episode. Loved the sunset pictures through the palm trees. It’s just stuff is what I always try to say, but I feel for you about the trim - glad everyone was safe.
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!! 💕
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!!!
So refreshing not to have to listen to foul language even when things go wrong. You guys are an awesome family.
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.
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.
Blowouts are certainly no fun! Suggest you purchase a torque wrench and ensure you tighten those lug nuts to the appropriate torque.
Welcome home! Glad there were no injuries with blow out. I keep telling my husband we need a TPS system for our rig.
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!
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.
Love your videos glad everyone was all right. Love discount tire and also upgraded last year to good year. Been great tires.
You guys are awesome. You're the real "Someday" crew. Love watching your videos. Thank You.
Great video! And it was a great reminder to put a tpms on my rig asap! Going full time in 59 days! Safe travels y'all.
So sorry you guys had to go through this, but you took it like champs!! Part of why I love your videos. You guys are laid back and take things in stride ♥️
Guys, so fun to get to relive our time with you again here!!!!! Miss you guys and those beautiful palm trees!!!! - going to go and sign up for that give away right now... because you know that we need it after our blow out last month! - Meagan :)
What a gorgeous Thousand Trails resort! Thank you for sharing your travel adventures. May you continue to be blessed with many more memories. Safe travels 😊
So why am I so happy you’re back on the road when I saw this new clip!???? Hahahaha because I love your family adventure! Stay safe hope to see you on the road sometime!!
From one Navy Veteran to another, Thank you brother for your service!!!
In regards to the removal of the tape / stickers off the new microwave, squids aren't known for their nails lol.
I really like that everyone HELPS out in regards to your family when things happen by accident ( tire replacement ).
God Bless your family and keep up the great job!!!
The way you guys handled this was fantastic, and great for your girls to see. You've chosen a life of adventure and with that comes risk. Being able to handle inevitable problems when they come up with a cool head is essential. So many people beat themselves up and punish themselves over things that have already happened, and I mean really punish themselves. For weeks and weeks and weeks, which serves no purpose what so ever. -- nobody was hurt and the damage can be fixed. The lesson is that you should change the tires sooner, which you already took. Proper grown-ups, you are :-)
Welcome back on the road! That was a good video to show the need for proper tools and to deal and move on when something like this happens. We're currently in SD at America's Mailbox campground because my wife doesn't have her dependent military ID card so we could camp on base at the FamCamp at Ellsworth AFB. Arrived Saturday and have no way to get the new card until Monday...deal and move on.
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!
So glad you guys were safe and thought you guys handled the whole situation like champions!
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 💪
Love your channel! Glad the tire change went smoothly. Can’t wait to get on the road with our fifth wheel
It did go pretty smoothly, thank you 🙏 I can’t wait for you to hit the road either!
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!
This is definitely a worry for us. Glad y'all are ok. Thanks for sharing the experience.
Our family enjoys your videos. We are part-timers and are getting ready to head out for a five week trip to mountains and the beach, south from Amish country in PA. TPMS has been on my mind.
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.
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 🙏
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!
Glad the damage was not worse. Like you said no one got hurt and the tire held together. Stay safe
Your patience is admirable...truly. Good job, and the palm trees/ sunset were awesome!!
Thank you🙏😊 patience is definitely a good virtue to have when RVing 😃
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.
Nice! Was it a successful shakedown? Sounds like some good friends!
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 .
absolutely love your channel. look forward to it every Sunday now.
Glad you are enjoying the videos! It’s an honor to us that you allow us in your home on TV😊
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.
That was scary! Glad it turned out okay. I changed my own tires for years (they used to sell retreads and that was what we could afford). Now the lug nuts are too tight, I am a lot older and we have roadside assistance. I carry tools though, just in case. I like how you take it all in stride. "Let's go to Palm Springs and sit in the pool for a minute". Love it. Your video reminded me I still need to put on the TPMS system before we head to Moosehead. Safe travels. Looking forward to Zion. ~Edie
Awesome job on your video! I was really was impressed on how you guys handled that dip!
So glad you all had that special time with family but boy am I glad your back 😁😁😁🥰🥰Safe Travels 👍
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
So glad we upgraded to the endurance tires as soon as we got our new Winnebago Voyage!
Love watching FOS. I now clean my rig with some of the stuff you use. Just got to get the brush.
That’s awesome! The brush is the game changer 😎 it is expensive though 😳
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!
Good job changing the tire! Make sure to use a torque wrench for final torque and follow lug nut tightening pattern.
Glad everything went smoothly! I want to upgrade to the Goodyear Endurance tires but don’t want to get rid of the new tires out rig came with.
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.
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!
Always good content. Looking forward to the '21 season from you guys. Keep up the good work and enjoy everything along the way.
We’re there in mid March. Snowed on in Grand Canyon and Sedona. Wasn’t ready for that, but had a great time. Really enjoy your content if you’re ever slumming in redwood county again your welcome to stop by. We have 5 acres a couple of miles off of 101. Be safe
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!
Glad that was helpful! I don’t trust people to pay attention on the Highway, I didn’t want to get slammed into😱
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!
Glad your all ok! I'm sure that was scary! We bought 4 new tires before taking our's off the sale lot back at the end of August because the old tires looked like they wouldn't even make it a mile down the road. Peeling the stickers off is the beat part 😊
Glad no one got hurt. You all we're lucky. Stay safe out there on the roads!
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
Glad it all worked out so well for you guys but bummer on the body damage to the rig! Also, next time you are in the area, or any area, where they grow dates look for somewhere you can get a "date shake". I grew up with them in SoCal and they are a family favorite!
Glad you guys are ok!! It’s definitely a fear of mine while towing!!
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!
Thank you, that sounds like an amazing trip! I love the railroads mission! You stay safe as well! !
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!
So sorry about the damage to your RV.. Glad you were in a safe spot to change the tire .
Oh gosh! This had to be a scary moment! We will be starting our full time life in about 3 weeks. We just sold our house and it closes on the 20th. Thanks for this video.
You have inspired me to make sure we have new tires on the rig for our summer trip.
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.
Such a bummer to have one right after the other. I'm really happy with the Goodyears now. Thanks so much for watching!
Bummer.... Been there done that a few times! Only I didn't handle it as good as you guys did....... Great job 👍
Got to have the tire pressure monitor system the tires were fine man you just hit a big old pot hole in them tires just couldn't handle it good video guys
We love watching your channel! So glad all turned out ok and you guys are safe.
Bought a new to use rig (2015) in February and have been renovating it. We starting camping in three weeks!!!
Oh my, I'm so happy you are safe!!
I feel your pain been there but did not have as much damage. glad everyone is ok.
This happened to us once before it's very scary being on the side of the highway changing a tire. So thankful everyone was safe 🙏
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😆.
god thats funny
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.
rotate your space with your tires so they all were out
Love watching you guys. Sorry that had happened and luckily not very much damage.
Thank you 🙏 we made out alright in the end 😃
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
Just put the Good Years on my GD Imagine 2800BH!! I am confident we both made a good call on those tires.
Just saw this video, glad everything turned out ok. We are getting ready to take a 5k trip from Colorado to Florida and back. The tires look new and I just put TPMS system installed. It's new so I don't know how it works. I also carry a 20 ton bottle jack. Our RVee is a 2013 KZ 285 R 5th Wheel (Our first 5th wheel).
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...
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.
That sure is a bummer. Glad y’all were safe.
We had 1 summer were we went through 4 blow outs on our old pop up. Got a new rig and had a blow out first time taking it out. Guess that’s why they call it a shake down.
Safe travels.
Just love your family. We had a blow out on our way home from vacation. Like you we were lucky no major damage.
Glad it was on the way home and not the way there!
Oh man such a bummer with that "blowout"! I literally just today changed out my "Westlakes" from the factory to Goodyear Endurance tires. ( at Discount Tire by the way)
I could immediately tell the difference just in the handling. So I def recommend them. Enjoyed the video!
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!!!
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!
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 😃
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.
The RV can be repaired. I'm glad that it wasn't worse and that no one was hurt.
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.
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 ❤🇬🇧
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!
Your absolutely right! Always learning😃
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.
Sorry about you tire damage .... As always your videos are the best... y’all are always teaching 👍🏻
Glad you have enjoyed them! Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment! It means a lot!
You are an amazing photographer I can seeuou girls following in your footsteps with a camera in there hands, great work girls thanks for sharing and as always stay safe ,safe travels and God bless love ya Nancy
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.
