Just joined GSRA
Sunday before Labor day we had two blowouts Southbound on I69 just North of Fort Wayne. Called the Police they came out and were great, they tried a couple of tire suppliers but they could not help, they also gave the name of another to call which didn't work out. Each time I requested a recommendation and called them all without success.
By this time we had been on the freeway for three hours in sweltering heat. Being a member of Good Sam Club, but not GSRA I considered I had nothing to loose and called them. The lady was extremely helpful warned me I would have to pay all charges incurred (which I expected) and set about finding someone that come out with the correct 16" tires. She eventually came back to me advised she had located the tire at Goodyear and they would call me with ETA. They called, it would be a couple of hours, they came as promised.
Goodyear changed the tires at roadside using no more than tire irons. Boy did that guy work hard in 85 deg. heat.
This trip was my last of 2015, so there was no necessity to join GSRA until now. The experience cost me over $900, would have been a little over $300 had I been a member then.
I have a new 5th wheel on order, first stop on the journey home will be to get rid of the Chinese tires and have some good tires fitted.
