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!
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!
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!
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
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!! 💕
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!
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!
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.
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.
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.
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!
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!
We haven’t done a specific video on it. We still only buy the yearly Zone pass, we end up getting it for around $500 . If your on the fence just get that and try it out, it won’t take long to pay for itself. If you’re full time definitely get it.
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!
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!!!
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
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!
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!
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.
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!
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.
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!!
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
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.
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!
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.
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!!!
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!
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 .
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 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.
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
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!!!
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?
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...
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.
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!
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!
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,
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 💪
Next time you are in Palm Springs area you have to try the Ladder Canyon hike! Super beautiful - on way out to Salton Sea. It will remind you of Zion- super narrow red rocks and crevices.
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.
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!!!
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).
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.
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.
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.
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
@@FindingOurSomeday well, trying to find something soon is sorta difficult. Summer is booked up. But, our first mini trip will be a nice local spot to test it out and adjust to our new trailer. Pretty excited!
We have a 1/2 inch cordless impact now, hopefully it’s faster then 20 minutes because that’s as long as it took without an impact 😃 thanks for watching! Hope your weekend is epic!
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!
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!
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😆.
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.
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 😃
Thank you for sharing your experience. My mom and I are going full time in a month and I'm trying to prepare myself mentally and equipment and tool wise before we hit the road.
We used to live on the west side of the mountains that you’re at in Palm Springs, Mt San Jacinto. We lived in the sister city to Hemet, San Jacinto. Lived there till May 2020, when we moved to north Texas. We lived in San Diego from 1977 to 2004, then 2004- 2020 in San Jacinto. Sure miss the dry weather! LOL.
Was wondering about the TPMS, that tire still had pressure but the tread came off and am interested in what a TPMS might have report. I see the TPMS sensors on the new tires. Great job and advice in staying calm and taking the needed time to get the job done right
Thank you! I’m not sure if a TPMS would have picked up that particular problem or not? I’m guessing the tire must have gotten more hot... hope I never know from experience again😃
Just changed my tires out to Goodyear endurance and only have just over 3k on the trailer but going on a 4,000+ trip this summer so didnt want to risk it. It's great how positive you guys are keep up the fun!
You made that look easy but next purchase should be an impact driver. Makes the job faster and so much easier. Especially as you get older and travel more.
Congratulations! Don’t let it worry you too much ! Also, don’t let stock tires scare you too much either. Watch the road ahead for bumps and other hazards, don’t overload . Change the stock tires out whenever it’s convenient down the road. The tire that blew was a stock tire that had 25k on it circling the US twice including through Canada and around Alaska.
Had that happen to me on a trailer as well... looked at the other tires in between the threads and there were cracks... usually if there's cracks deep in between the threads thats a sign that the tread can come of the trailer or the tire can blow...
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!
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!

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

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

Good reminder! Glad it was only rig damage. Have you guys done a video on Thousand Trails? We have been considering a membership.
We haven’t done a specific video on it. We still only buy the yearly Zone pass, we end up getting it for around $500 . If your on the fence just get that and try it out, it won’t take long to pay for itself. If you’re full time definitely get it.
@@FindingOurSomeday Thank you!
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!

So refreshing not to have to listen to foul language even when things go wrong. You guys are an awesome family.
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!
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
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!
The sheet metal may help with water intrusion, but unfortunately will do little to nothing if a tire really lets go
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!
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.
All you needed was some blocks to put on the back wheel and back it up on and it would’ve raised up the axle you don’t need a jack
We didn’t realize that until after, good advice!
So glad we upgraded to the endurance tires as soon as we got our new Winnebago Voyage!
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.
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!

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!
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!!
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 !
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
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.
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!
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.
We had one at the time, but just hadn't installed it yet. Just another reminder not to put things off!
Same thing happen to us. We changed all four tires right away to Goodyear endurance
It stinks, but, live and learn 🤷♂️😃
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!!!
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!
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 .
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 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.
Sounds like your doing all that you can, just enjoy the ride now😎
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 sorry about the damage to your RV.. Glad you were in a safe spot to change the tire .
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!!!
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?
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...
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 😃
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.
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!
Blow outs suck!! Glad you all are ok! Sheet metal can be fixed!!
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😃
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
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.
Thank you! We are thankful that it wasn't worse!
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,
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!
Glad everyone is ok and that sucks about the side of the RV, once it s fixed it'll be good as new.
You’re absolutely right! Thank you 🙏
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 💪
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.
That’s awesome that none of them did damage!
Next time you are in Palm Springs area you have to try the Ladder Canyon hike! Super beautiful - on way out to Salton Sea. It will remind you of Zion- super narrow red rocks and crevices.
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!
Blowouts are certainly no fun! Suggest you purchase a torque wrench and ensure you tighten those lug nuts to the appropriate torque.
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!
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.
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!!!
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).
Bought a new to use rig (2015) in February and have been renovating it. We starting camping in three weeks!!!
90% of the struggle with tires is being prepared! Awesome video!
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.
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.
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.
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
Just put the Good Years on my GD Imagine 2800BH!! I am confident we both made a good call on those tires.
So sorry you guys had to deal with that, but thanks for sharing! So helpful! We just purchased our first trailer and we are ready to hit the road!
Congratulations! That’s exciting, what’s the first adventure?!
@@FindingOurSomeday well, trying to find something soon is sorta difficult. Summer is booked up. But, our first mini trip will be a nice local spot to test it out and adjust to our new trailer. Pretty excited!
Glad no one got hurt. You all we're lucky. Stay safe out there on the roads!
We are getting new tires on the RV before we leave for the summer! Now, if we just had the perfect tire monitoring system.
That will definitely be good piece of mind! Good luck on the contest 😃
You should get a battery powered impact driver. It is life changing. I can zip a tire off and a new one on in under 20 minutes.
We have a 1/2 inch cordless impact now, hopefully it’s faster then 20 minutes because that’s as long as it took without an impact 😃 thanks for watching! Hope your weekend is epic!
You guys are awesome. You're the real "Someday" crew. Love watching your videos. Thank You.
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!
Thanks so much for watching! Hope you guys have an awesome trip! 😃
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!
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
Thanks for the info! Corey made changing that tire look so easy!
You’re welcome, and thank you 🙏 you could change it that easy too!
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.
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 😃
Thank you for sharing your experience. My mom and I are going full time in a month and I'm trying to prepare myself mentally and equipment and tool wise before we hit the road.
Sounds like an adventure! You’re going to do great!
Sounds like an adventure! You’re going to do great!
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!
We used to live on the west side of the mountains that you’re at in Palm Springs, Mt San Jacinto. We lived in the sister city to Hemet, San Jacinto. Lived there till May 2020, when we moved to north Texas. We lived in San Diego from 1977 to 2004, then 2004- 2020 in San Jacinto. Sure miss the dry weather! LOL.
Was wondering about the TPMS, that tire still had pressure but the tread came off and am interested in what a TPMS might have report. I see the TPMS sensors on the new tires. Great job and advice in staying calm and taking the needed time to get the job done right
Thank you! I’m not sure if a TPMS would have picked up that particular problem or not? I’m guessing the tire must have gotten more hot... hope I never know from experience again😃
Just changed my tires out to Goodyear endurance and only have just over 3k on the trailer but going on a 4,000+ trip this summer so didnt want to risk it. It's great how positive you guys are keep up the fun!
That’s a big trip! One less worry now😃
@@FindingOurSomeday Now debating whether or not we need more than one spare. What are your thoughts?
Trailer should all have two 225 15 Inch load range E which is a 10 ply tire
You mean 2 spares?
You made that look easy but next purchase should be an impact driver. Makes the job faster and so much easier. Especially as you get older and travel more.
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.
2 weeks with a clean truck, I am so jealous! I love having a clean truck!
So sorry this happened! I am glad you all were safe and it did'nt completly blow.
We were relatively lucky! Thank you 🙏
Just purchased our first travel trailer, and this is one of my big fears. Glad you were all safe!
Congratulations! Don’t let it worry you too much ! Also, don’t let stock tires scare you too much either. Watch the road ahead for bumps and other hazards, don’t overload . Change the stock tires out whenever it’s convenient down the road. The tire that blew was a stock tire that had 25k on it circling the US twice including through Canada and around Alaska.
Been There, planned on doing it and bam explodes. We had the rig repairs done at a truck repair place, they did great worked with GD and insurance
Glad the damage was not worse. Like you said no one got hurt and the tire held together. Stay safe
Had that happen to me on a trailer as well... looked at the other tires in between the threads and there were cracks... usually if there's cracks deep in between the threads thats a sign that the tread can come of the trailer or the tire can blow...
Looking like a Pro changing that tire.....!! Cool looking campgrounds!!
Haha, thank you 😃👊
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!
