fix one issue, find another
having had a blow out on an inside dually, i'm rather paranoid about our tires now and generally get the DH to stop and ck the tires before we leave town on a trip. it's amazing how often we find them...

Motorhomes are heavily loaded "light trucks" Just sitting parked in the sun and weather, the tires deteriorate to where they become unsafe in four or more years time. Appearance of tires, i.e. tread depth, etc is meaningless. Sidewall cracks that are deeper than 1/16 inch indicate "time to replace". Better for tires if rig is driven for some distance (often) than left sitting in driveway for months at a time. Average RV mileage is only around 5000 miles per year
I got almost 10 years and almost fifty thousand miles on my first Class C. When I replaced them after a second blowout, in a few month period, they still had plenty of tread left. That MH was used as a daily driver for the whole time I had it. Drove it back and forth to work everyday. That was only 4 miles a day, but it moved at least 5 days a week.
