First ever flat tire on any of my campers.
It finally happened! I had my first ever flat tire on my camper, any camper, I've ever owned. I have Carlisle tires, about a year and a half old, so kind of bummed out now. BUT, happy the tire went...

Reminds me of when I first installed a Tire Pressure Monitor system....
First trip out I am about 2/3 the way there when BEEP BEEP BEEP
(Low tire, left front, Towed car)
Pulled off in a handy rest area, Got out, Yup tire low.. Plugged in Air compressor Fired up generator and not low any more.
All weekend long (it was a weekend trip) Low tire every time I wanted to go anywhere (Low, heck pancake flat) aired it up and did the trip, Every day.
Got home and parked (Stopping for air on the way) next AM aired it up and went to tire store and they told me I'd been SCREWED.. Removed the screw, showed it to me, tossed it in their "Road hazard" jar, fixed the tire (no charge road hazard warranty) and off I went. Happy.
Another person with same TPMS tossed it in his basement storage when it arrived intending to install later.. too later as it turned out. he's not 15 miles out of the camp ground when folks are honking and pointing.
Same tire. Left front on towed. Shredded, Rim damaged, Brake rotor damaged, 2,000 in body damage.. How he wishes he'd installed at campground.
