My dad gave us his old 1995 Coachmen 26' 5er and he warned me several times about blowouts. He had 3 in the span of just 4 years. His TV is a GMC 2500 Sierra. Mine is a 1500 Silverado with shackles to level the truck out. I noticed the camper sits level when attached to my truck but when he had it on his truck the front was jacked up. My theory is he was putting extra stress on the back tires of the camper (the back tires were the blowouts) because the truck sits so high and the camper is on the short side for a 5er. I have been on 4 trips so far and I have had zero tire issues. I will definitely have my new truck lowered to "normal" ride height when the time comes to upgrade.
