She wasn't in the RV with us when it happened. We drove about a quarter of a mile at 25MPH and then the speed limit went to 45. As soon as we got to 45, the tire came apart. Fortunately it did no damage to the RV. Before I drove it I had noticed the sidewall cracks even though she advertised that the rig had "new tires". The owner appeared to be more worried about how she would get the RV back to the storage lot with a bad tire. AAA to the rescue and they put the spare on. I was amazed how easy it was to get the tires replaced. It was a little difficult finding a store (small town) that had 7 of the replacement tires but after a few calls we tracked them down.
With the new tires the RV drove great. This is especially sweet for me because 4 1/2 years ago I had a major heart attack and while my health has improved dramatically from that very low point, sadly last year I had to sell my truck and trailer because it was too much on me to keep it up and also do all the setup when we camp. Now with a much smaller, easier to drive setup we are back camping. First stop, Grayland State Park on the Washington coast. Our favorite spot.
