Well, our trip to Colorado started and ended on the same day. We had two blowouts on the same tire location. Tires were only 3 years old so I do not know what the issue was. It was very hot (extreme heat advisory) and loaded heavy. Took 5-6 Hours on the side of the road to get a new tire brought out and mounted. It took out the hydraulic lines on that side so I could not open slides so we headed back home. We left at 9am and got home after midnight. The dogs seemed to enjoy it. They like to be in the truck even if it is setting on the side of the road in 102 degree weather. I managed to get the lines plugged today so I could get the trailer off of the truck. Don't know how long it will take to get the trailer fixed, hydraulic lines and some structural damage as well. That's my story, hope everyone else is doing better.
