My daughter told me not long ago, one of the things she loves about going on a camping trip with the wife and I is that I make it feel like vacation from the start. We have a planned time to leave and we prepack the trailer as much as possible with the clothes and whatever we are bringing that isn't already there. We usually grocery shop a day or two prior to leaving so everything has time to cool in the frig prior to going on propane for the trip. When someone asks me what time it is while we are on one of these trips, I ask what day is it. Because if it isn't the day we need to come home, I'm not concerned with what time it is.
So my point in bringing all this up on a tire thread is slow it down a little, take your time. Check your tire pressures prior to leaving, drive at the speed limit, make sure your tires are not getting beaten by the sun when it's parked and stored and check their condition regularly as most of the tire issues I've had are age, improper pressure (When I was first starting out) and tire condition related. ANY one of those being wrong/bad and you add in excessive speed, your asking for a blowout and likely some damage to the underside of your camper.
Just my 2 cents! Happy Camping!
