Doesn't sound like cheap tires but a low tire going flat and ultimately if you continue driving they blow out.
That said Same thing happened to me with one of the dually tires.. GS sent out a guy to put the spare on. No visual damage to the RV just the blown tire. I went up to the truck stop and got a cup of coffee. Came back and he was done. He put a tire on, I sure didn't think I needed to look at the new tire on. So....
I Jumped in and decided to get gas while I was there. Pulled up to the pump and started fueling as I looked down I saw the dreaded flow of blue water. :R
I opened the sewage bay door and :E it looked like a bomb went off inside. The blown tire had ripped off the inside side of the sewage bay and tore everything inside apart, valves, pipes side of bay bottom of sewage bay etc.
Aside from the fact that the road side emergency guy HAD TO HAVE SEEN THAT while he was under there putting the new tire on and why he chose not to tell me.....now I had to get going and tape up the mess so I could get back on the road.
......have you checked your sewage system thoroughly to make sure that blow tire didn't crack something? Even a hairline crack around the valves can cause you problems. Check it out. Hope it's all ok.
