Blowouts on front passenger side tire
We have just had our second blowout on the front passenger side tire on our Class A Beaver Marquis 2005. In weighing the coach, we are pretty heavy for the weight of the tires the manufacturer put on...

Beaver Marquis are one of the heaviest coaches ever made. I remember checking their CCC specs when we were looking at coaches 3 1/2 years ago. Some of the Marquis had very little CCCs, and that may be your problem.
Our coach is similar to the Marquis. What Country Coach did was to use 315's with an L rating and heavier rims on the front that you can inflate to 130lbs. If you switch to 315's for your coach, which is likely what you need to do, you will need to get the heavier rims to handle the 130lbs pressure. Standard Alcoa rims only are rated for 120.
I have driven our coach 26,000 miles now and had no problems with tires besides the cost of buying new ones.
Once you get this fixed you have a beautiful motorhome. The Marquis is one of the very few coaches that the interior is nicer than ours.
