Blow outs:(
There are various possible reactions you will feel or notice when you have a tire blow:
1. you might feel like you just ran into a small gust of wind head on which feels like you are slowing down for a second but nothing dangerious.
2. You might feel a little side to side wiggle from your trailer but it is not a reaction where you feel like the trailer is going out of control.
3. When you look in your side mirror you will see white smoke and possibly pieces of rubber flying around.
4. While driving, II look in my side mirrors about every 10 min. of so just to visual check the tires.
5. To minimize damage to your RV or rims, try to pull over as soon as safely possible.
6. At every rest stop, I use my little trucker aluminum bat and thump each tire listening to make sure the sound is about all the same. I then put my hand on each axle hub to check the tempture for heat.
7. I have never felt like the RV (5th. wheel) was ever going out of control.
8. Finally, I make sure my GS Road Side Service is on my speed dial:):):)
