Horrible story about a blowout and loss of control of MoHo into the trees. His wife was following and watched it happen. The exact cause may not be truly know but they believe that it was a blowout. ...

CD,
The only failing of your recovery plan is that you don't have miles of airspace under your MH to give time to recover.
If you're towing that Blazer and experience a full tire failure on the steer axle, your MH will be yawing immediately and all that about cruise control, flashers, and reasoning out a response, will be gone in an instant. To say you won't be startled is a stretch.
Excellent.
Cloud Dancer: You may think with your background that you could handle all situations in a blowout but 99.5% of us here don't have your background so what you would do would not be our experience.
This type of accident happens in SECONDS. No one knows how their RV will be damaged with the blowout and consequently how it will handle in those first seconds.
No one knows how their first reaction would be in those SECONDS.
Would you be driving a hairpin turn with a big drop alongside you?
Will it happen on black ice to double the experience?
Will you be on an interstate with full traffic in all directions?
Will you be on a secondary road with a forest of trees on both sides?
No one knows how they or the RV will do until it happens. Hopefully, it won't happen. Check your tires before ever ride, keep them properly inflated and most of all, replace them by age; not by looks.
