I, too, have experienced RV tire blowouts while driving, at least 2 on the front. One of those at 65mph, and another at 55-60 on a downhill freeway offramp while decelerating. Never did the RV try to pull me off the road; it was simply a matter of retaining hold of the steering wheel to counter the "drag" of the blown tire and gently applying the brakes to slow the RV to a stop.
I vehemently disagree with the often-linked Michelin video on dealing with a front blowout that claims you must immediately stomp on the accelerator in order to maintain control. The key is to NOT panic and stomp on ANYTHING, gas or brake.
