HAH! Last time I was out in Yuba I had two tire blow-outs one after another. First one took my spare, then once back on the road with no spare left, the next blow out came swiftly. Pretty hot asphalt! I'll never forget that spot!
Typically, what happens here when one tire blows out, all the weight that was designed to be handled by two tires is now all on the remaining tire...obviously overloading it. Hence, blows out the 2nd tire. Other contributing factors would be overloading the rv in the first place and/or under inflation of the tires. The third possibility would be aged tires.
Of course, it could be all three...
Glad you got your electrical problem figured out. As others have mentioned.... be aware of what electrical items are 120v and what are 12v. Really helps when something goes out. For the record, taking one fuse out to use as a test for other fuses is really a bad idea as the fuses come in different amperage ratings. If you put a too large of amperage fuse in a socket designed for much less amperage, you could cause wires and other items to get hot and catch on fire. Your best bet is to get a digital multimeter (set on ohms) and put the probes on the top of each fuse where you see small metal section. If fuse is good, meter will read 1..if bad, it will read 0.
Good luck
