Anyone with dual axle will love the trick I’m about to share. Always have some 2x6 pieces of lumber with you, about foot long. Put boards on ground so you can Pull or back camper onto boards with good tire leaving bad tire dangling freely. No Jack required. This will save you lots of time.
I bought a gizmo that does that exact thing. Over the years I have changed many tires on our RV's. Our Brinkley has H rated Coopers so it has been good so far, but flats can happen anywhere.
So glad I found your channel. No matter what happens, you take everything in stride. I did enjoy the laugh. We just celebrated 18 years of full timing a few months ago. Happy trails!
Awe, thank you so much! 💕 We laughed at ourselves too! 😂 Congratulations on being fulltime for 18 years! That's awesome! What has been your favorite thing about the fulltime RV life? Thanks for watching too! ~ Shion and Matthew
Since we had the eclipse path going right through our town I took my telescope with solar filter to share with my church which had a special event that day.
Great video guys - so funny about the slide-out! Glad that TPMS worked for you - sometimes I'm not so sure about ours. And nice boondocking spot you ended up at - we have noted this. Safe travels (especially relevant for this video) !
Your laugh when she pointed out that you'd been cranking the slide open.....priceless!! Gotta' be able to laugh at oneself. Great and refreshing outlooks you two have. 👍
That tire monitor paid for it self. You could have had 100's of dollars in damage not knowing the tire was loosing air. Blow outs can damage the RV siding and the rim. GOOD JOB!
So glad you made it safe to that dirt lot.... in a stroke of irony, I just bought a 12 ton jack two days ago so that I can jack up our axles to replace the tires instead of dragging it to the Discount Tire Shop. I may have missed it last week but did you guys get that side window fixed that fell out of the trim?
We were so thankful we found that dirt lot too! That's good to know that you got a 12 ton jack too. It will come in handy whenever you need it! 😁 We go back to the window issue in a future episode! Thanks so much for watching! ~ Shion and Matthew
RV and boat trailer tires have a life of only 5 years regardless of the miles, use or non-use, or maintenance. I found that out years ago when pulling a friends boat and we had a catastrophic tire failure on I-70 going through the mountains here in Colorado. There is a stamp usually on one side of the tire. It looks like a raised oval with 3 or 4 numbers. They indicate the date of manufacture. It’s almost like they set a timer. You should consider the other tires may need to be replaced as well if the date is really at 5 years
Went to Mount Gilead, Ohio for the total 100% eclipse with some RV friends. It was a blast. I am a former professional photographer, now a hobby photographer, and got some great photos. The best part was enjoying it with friends.
That's awesome! We are glad to hear y'all got to have that amazing experience and thanks for sharing that with us and thanks for watching too! ~ Shion and Matthew
Hey guys great video loved the editing thought it was great u left in that you didn't get the tire down instead brought the kitchen out "because you were hungry " LOL! We just recently shared a couple videos how the TPMS saved our trip we agree with everything better to be safe then sorry and have what u need instead of not having it. What a gorgeous boondocking location excellent views and so peaceful! Saw the rubber chicken on the ladder made me giggle and text Deb Hahaha! I was messaging her last week cause I kept seeing reels on Facebook or Instagram about how ro clean your rubber chicken it was cracking me up!! We do love Discount tires and costco. We didn't get to see the eclipse this year but had a prime view in 2017! Anyway not sure if u remember u are way busier then us but we watched u a lot over a year ago so sorry we lost ya as u know things get crazy and we lost ya been catching u again the last few months and so glad we found u again u crack us up!! I think one of the earlier videos was a water bottle opening trick? Maybe? Anyway great to see ya and great video and awesome job teaching Deb and Joel how to boondock!
Hey ya'll! We are so glad y'all found us again! We are apart of the rubber chicken gang with Deb and Joel! 😁🐔 We have got to keep those chicken's clean! 😂 We really like Discount Tire too! 😁 We are very thankful for our TPMS! It has saved us a lot of damage! Yes, we had a water bottle hack video that worked wonders! Thanks for watching y'all! ~ Shion and Matthew
Ugh, we just found a big nail sticking out of one of our tires and had to buy a new one. We traveled to Waco for the Eclipse since we are 70 so will more than likely be our last one. It was amazing!!! Everyone around cheered. I’m writing that boondocking site down. It looks awesome.
Oh no! We are sorry to hear about your tire mishap! We are glad y'all got to experience the total eclipse! Thanks for sharing your story with us and thanks for watching too! ~ Shion and Matthew
This is why I enjoy you guys. You could have edited that out but hey, let's give everybody a little laugh... Just so you know, I was trying to help by hollering at my computer screen, "It's the lower hole!".😅😅 Stay safe out there!
O.K. I know I'm not the only one that was yelling at the computer monitor when we can see that you were using the wrong hole to lower the spare tire! Leave it to the wife to save the day!!
Great video guys. TPS saved the day. And , Thank goodness that empty spot came up. Absolutely , having the right tools can make the situation easier and safer.
You really need to be in full totality to get that awesome experience when you see an eclipse. We went to Syracuse, NY and it was amazing. It was cloudy, but you could still see the sun through the clouds. However, what was awesome was seeing the actual eclipse pass overhead. It was like twilight and a sunset 360 degrees around. I am so glad we made the two hour trip to go from 95 percent to 100 percent totality.
Hey guys just thought I would mention it's good to have a spray bottle with water and dish soap to easily find your leaks also works for gas leaks. Okay take care.
Matthew my 2020 GMC 3500 dually came with the built-in TPMS it also came with four extra for the trailer tires which worked through the infotainment center possibly your Ford dealer might be able to supply you with the same system
It does???? Where do I find that in the infotainment system? I've got the same year LTZ Silverado which are the same exact trucks other than stupid stuff!!!! lol
We went to Mohican State Park here in Ohio. For us that was just an hour north and put us in the total eclipse. We got luck and we had a clear day. It was something special to see. The camp ground was sold out for the Sunday and Monday. Plus many people coming in just for the day. We have never seen an Ohio state park so full of people. Glad your tire was fix so quickly and you are ok. Hope the job search is going well still praying for you all.
We are glad y'all got to experience the total eclipse! Thanks for sharing that with us and thanks so much for the prayers! 💕🙏 We really appreciate them! Thanks for watching too! ~ Shion and Matthew
I think you did a great job. Yes, you should have known how to release the spare, but it wasn’t a big deal and you learned something. And, you now know how to manually extend and retract a slide. Sooner or later you WILL need to use that information! I’m also impressed that you had all the necessary tools! All in all, great job!!! 👏
We love y’all’s channel. Quick question, since the leak wasn’t on the wall of the tire, couldn’t you have just plugged it yourself? Got a kit at a Walmart and used it a couple of times and always carry one in my tire care kit.
That is a great question! We did not have a tire repair kit and didn't think about it until after the tire was fixed. We have since got one, so we now have that in our RV too! 😁 Thanks for watching! ~ Shion and Matthew
My first/only so far blow out was in Mesa on the highway. Pulled off to the emergency lane and begun the adventure with the coach we JUST bought used. Mesa drivers.... Oh my... They were flying by on that 65MPH stretch I was working in the slow lane, changing out the rear driver side tire doing close to 85 or more, flying by my back, taking out the triangles I had set up! And I thought California drivers were aholes!!!!! Turned out that my tires were all overloaded at one time by the previous owner. This thing was only a couple weeks old for us at that time too! Changed all of them to Sailun tires. Highly recommend them! Be happy! Be safe! Bust most of all... Enjoy life the best you can. After all, it's the only chance we all get!!!!!
Oh wow! We are sorry you had to experience that! 😱 Glad y'all made it out of that situation and thanks for sharing your story with us and thanks for watching too! ~ Shion and Matthew
Couple things, we have the same trailer you could of called us too but glad you got it figured out, Second that is Mount Graham, Jen’s Grandma lives 5 mins away from the Wal-Mart there and yes it sucks all around. Third we were in Sulphur Springs, TX in the path of totality & it was Amazing!
Thank you for being willing to help us out! 😁 Ya'll are so awesome! That's pretty cool about Jen's grandmother living there! Do y'all get to go there often? Glad y'all got to experience the total eclipse! Thanks for sharing and thanks for watching too! ~ Shion and Matthew
Hardly anyone ever checks the spare tire pressure until they need it and most of the time it's low. I know it's a pain in the neck to check the spare but after getting caught far from any help and without a portable pump I now make sure the spares in all my rigs are checked at least once a year if not more. I purchased a new truck this last year and the spare was low when I checked. Go figure.
So funny that this was your content today. I had my wheel bearings greased last weekend, after 3 years since last greasing. My friend told me that my tires were almost bald. I had no idea. I just get in the car and drive. I know Matthew, I should be checking them. Anyway, I got new tires put on my little camper today. My spare was at 25, and the max is 80, so they filled that also. I never even thought to film all of that, until I watched your video. I'll have to film an "after the fact" video, when I go camping this coming weekend. Don't yell at me!! :) BTW, my tires are only 12", so even though they were only 3 years old, they work harder than standard size tires. At least that's what I've been told.
Oh wow! Glad you got your tires replaced and that everything turned out okay! That will be a good video to film too! Thanks for sharing that with us and thanks for watching too! ~ Shion and Matthew
I agree that it is better have what you need when you need them than wishing you had the tools, etc…. We traveled to Central Texas for the eclipse and had great weather and the experience was awesome. We have a couple of videos on our channel. Travel safe.
If you use a heavy impact without a torque stick you can overtighten and stretch your tire lugs. Hand tight , then cross wrench or ratchet then torque to spec.
We were in Cotter, Arkansas, (Flippin address) to see the eclipse. When we set our reservations for the Campground we didn’t know about the eclipse being in the 100% area. The owners reminded us about almost 3 months ahead of our arrival. We did not know what to expect. We were amazed at what we witnessed. Well worth being in the area. I wished I would have bought a camera designed for directly looking at the sun. Thanks for the heads up on the tire info. We have tst770 and an electric impact wrench but I need to get a bottle jack. I have a road service and so I hope we don’t have to wait too long on the side of the road. Did you get a new tire? Or repaired.
We remember y'all getting to see the total eclipse and are very thankful y'all shared your pictures with us as it was happening! Glad y'all got to experience it! We got a new tire! Thanks for watching! ~ Shion and Matthew
What tires do you have that take 97lbs of air? Didn’t it come with Endurance tires that max out at 80lbs? I am just making sure I am not missing something. You may have upgraded your tires and I was t paying attention. Thx
We check tires daily. If we are doing a lot of driving, we allow for the pressure to go higher. We have gotten to the point, that we know what pressure to leave at to stay under maximum tire pressure. I don' t believe you should go over that.
IF YOU DRIVE THE REAR TIRE UP ON A LEVELING BLOCKS YOU DON'T NEED TO JACK UP THE FLAT. ITS JUST A FLAT. ITS ONLY A PROBLEM IF THE TIRE LETS GO AND DISINTEGRATES AT 60 MPH. GOTTA LOVE THE LIFE
That is how people bend the axle. That method overloads as it carries all the weight that is supposed to be spread across 2 axles. I've straightened axles for people that swore they never hit anything but they did what you said and bent it.
We lost a tire one time and before we got in to the next town we lost one more tire from that day we carry 2 spare wheels and check the pressure even if we only go 70 miles from the house
Oh no! We are sorry y'all had to go through that! That thought has run through our mind about losing more than 1 tire. That sounds like a good idea about the second spare! Where do you keep the second spare? Thanks for watching! ~ Shion and Matthew
It rides in the back of the pickup till one day when i get tired of it in my way then will install an extra hanger for it Something else the i have is a die nut and a tap for the wheel studs if ever you take them of and the treads are damaged i can repair it an keep going till the next stop if it needs to be replaced very cheap insurance not to be stuck on the side of the road in the middle of Arizona on I 40
We called ahead and they said we needed to order it online and have it shipped to store and we made the appointment for the day after it arrived. Thanks for watching! ~ Shion and Matthew
It seems to be, our’s doesn’t have them either. I figure it’s because when we back up, it’s not in the same situations as when in a car. Just hope someone doesn’t suddenly backup when in traffic!
We don't know if it's common but they will light up when your foot is on the brake or when you have the headlights on. Not sure why they designed it like that! Thanks for watching! ~ Shion and Matthew
We’ve started to label the ins & outlets on our new rig…our black tank flush is right below the city water inlet…the city one is all black & the black tank one is chrome! We’d forget that the black tank IS’NT the black one 😬
walmart customer service sucks- but they are all over where discount isnt and my discount tires , all of them have flattend where there was none around
Good all Walmart i got a flat on one of their tires after 50 miles going 65 mph on a highway they were refusing to fix or warranty they said i drove on it i told them to explain it to me of how I can do a dead stop going that fast. Their answer i don't know finally got a refund and went to Discount tires are junk even if they are named brand they made cheaper.
You did fine. Always carry tools, jack & compressor that will fill tire up to required psi in less than 3 days. Most of us do not think about all the holes around our rig or what the spare tools are for or read our units manuals. We are MEN, we do not read manuals, atlas or ever ask directions.

😂 Thanks for watching! ~ Shion and Matthew
It wasn't anything special until it was total, that was amazing!
That would have been amazing to see! Glad y'all got to experience that! ~ Shion and Matthew
What tires do you have that take 97lbs of air? Didn’t it come with Endurance tires that max out at 80lbs? I am just making sure I am not missing something. You may have upgraded your tires and I was t paying attention. Thx
We only inflate the tires to 80 but when we are driving the pressure goes up. We have Goodyear Endurance! Thanks for watching! ~ Shion and Matthew
We check tires daily. If we are doing a lot of driving, we allow for the pressure to go higher. We have gotten to the point, that we know what pressure to leave at to stay under maximum tire pressure. I don' t believe you should go over that.
I was on a cruise to Mexico. So I "Totally" missed it.
We hope you enjoyed your cruise and thanks for watching too! ~ Shion and Matthew
IF YOU DRIVE THE REAR TIRE UP ON A LEVELING BLOCKS YOU DON'T NEED TO JACK UP THE FLAT. ITS JUST A FLAT. ITS ONLY A PROBLEM IF THE TIRE LETS GO AND DISINTEGRATES AT 60 MPH. GOTTA LOVE THE LIFE
That is how people bend the axle. That method overloads as it carries all the weight that is supposed to be spread across 2 axles.
I've straightened axles for people that swore they never hit anything but they did what you said and bent it.
We are glad that our TPMS alerted us and that the tire did not disintegrate! Thanks for watching! ~ Shion and Matthew
You could safely run slowly at 40 psi for a short period of time, as long as you don't make sharp turns.
Thanks for sharing and thanks for watching too! ~ Shion and Matthew
AB Roadrunners was in Apache Junction sick didnt see anything. 😢😢😢😢😢. Sorry you broke down but you made it safe.
Hope you feel better and thanks for watching! ~ Shion and Matthew
@BrokenDreamsReborn Thank you. we're back in Apache Junction.i just got out of hospital we'll be Gere for a while stay safe.
We lost a tire one time and before we got in to the next town we lost one more tire from that day we carry 2 spare wheels and check the pressure even if we only go 70 miles from the house
Oh no! We are sorry y'all had to go through that! That thought has run through our mind about losing more than 1 tire. That sounds like a good idea about the second spare! Where do you keep the second spare? Thanks for watching! ~ Shion and Matthew
It rides in the back of the pickup till one day when i get tired of it in my way then will install an extra hanger for it
Something else the i have is a die nut and a tap for the wheel studs if ever you take them of and the treads are damaged i can repair it an keep going till the next stop if it needs to be replaced very cheap insurance not to be stuck on the side of the road in the middle of Arizona on I 40
Aren't you supposed to loosen the lugs before jacking up the rig?
When you have an impact gun it does not matter. If you had just a breaker bar then you would have to.
Because we have the impact wrench we didn't need to. Thanks for watching! ~ Shion and Matthew
Did you call ahead to know that they had the tire you needed or just assumed they would have it Safer travels
We called ahead and they said we needed to order it online and have it shipped to store and we made the appointment for the day after it arrived. Thanks for watching! ~ Shion and Matthew
Ok, Im new to 5th wheel'ing, as I am buying one soon. But I just noticed that you have NO back up lights. Is this common?
It seems to be, our’s doesn’t have them either. I figure it’s because when we back up, it’s not in the same situations as when in a car. Just hope someone doesn’t suddenly backup when in traffic!
We don't know if it's common but they will light up when your foot is on the brake or when you have the headlights on. Not sure why they designed it like that! Thanks for watching! ~ Shion and Matthew
I noticed that the new Outdoors RVs have back up lights.
Went to Arkansas and 100% awesome
Glad y'all got to experience the total eclipse! Thanks for sharing that with us and thanks for watching too! ~ Shion and Matthew
Tires needed replacing along time ago
Thanks for watching! ~ Shion and Matthew
Wouldn't it be nice if those holes were labeled? Gift idea for Matt, a label maker.
We’ve started to label the ins & outlets on our new rig…our black tank flush is right below the city water inlet…the city one is all black & the black tank one is chrome! We’d forget that the black tank IS’NT the black one 😬
That would be a great idea! 😂 Thanks for watching! ~ Shion and Matthew
We have labeled our pull handles too! It's a great idea! Thanks for sharing and thanks for watching too! ~ Shion and Matthew
Good job man.
Thank you and thanks for watching too! ~ Shion and Matthew
You have no tread left time for new tires
Thanks for sharing and thanks for watching too! ~ Shion and Matthew
You needed solar glasses to see anything less than total eclipse.
Thanks for sharing and thanks for watching too! ~ Shion and Matthew
walmart customer service sucks- but they are all over where discount isnt and my discount tires , all of them have flattend where there was none around
We prefer Discount Tires over Walmart too. Thanks for watching! ~ Shion and Matthew
Fyi, Discount Tires is called Americas Tires in California.
Looks like the tire should have been replaced a little while sooner.
Thanks for watching! ~ Shion and Matthew
6:00 Am I the only one yelling at the screen, "Wrong one, you're on the wrong one!"
Lol 😂 We cringe when we watch it now! 😂 Thanks for watching! ~ Shion and Matthew
what year is that camper ?
It's a 2021! Thanks for watching! ~ Shion and Matthew
is that silicone along the right hand side up front?
Good all Walmart i got a flat on one of their tires after 50 miles going 65 mph on a highway they were refusing to fix or warranty they said i drove on it i told them to explain it to me of how I can do a dead stop going that fast. Their answer i don't know finally got a refund and went to Discount tires are junk even if they are named brand they made cheaper.
Oh no! We are so sorry that happened to you! Thanks for sharing your story with us and thanks for watching too! ~ Shion and Matthew
OK, you two, I think it’s time you remove your LTVA stickers off of your trailer.😊
Lol 😂 Thanks for watching! ~ Shion and Matthew
I have a drick too bottle of jack ?
Thanks for watching! ~ Shion and Matthew
I see you never read the owners manual 😂
😂 Thanks for watching! ~ Shion and Matthew
Hmmm wrong hole lol
Thanks for watching! ~ Shion and Matthew
Miss leading title you said Rv broke but all you had was a flat
The RV was broke as it wasn't going to make it to our next stop. Thanks for watching! ~ Shion and Matthew
Some people should not be towing an RV. Learn how your RV works before going on the road!!!
Matthew is usually on top of things. At least he owned up to it.
Relax. They learned either way.
You have no sense of adventure! Live life on the edge! 😂
Thanks for the encouragement!
I thought I researched everything there was to know about pregnancy, delivery and then raising my kids LOL. We all survived anyway.
You did fine. Always carry tools, jack & compressor that will fill tire up to required psi in less than 3 days.
Most of us do not think about all the holes around our rig or what the spare tools are for or read our units manuals.
We are MEN, we do not read manuals, atlas or ever ask directions.
Lol 😂 Thanks for your comment, it made us laugh! Thanks for watching too! 😁 ~ Shion and Matthew
