My worst experience was: about 15-18 years ago while towing my 31' terry 5th I pulled into an RV park about 11 PM in Medford OR after a LONG days pull on Xmas eve trying to get home for Xmas day. I have a habit of each time I stop anywhere I always walk a 360 degree tour checking everything out. It was dark this time so after pulling into a pull thru space I grabbed the flashlight when I got out and started my check. I had gone past the drivers side wheels when it dawned on me something did not look right at all. Turning around with the light I saw the rear trailer wheel was there but there was NO TIRE on it. I had not noticed any difference in pulling the trailer, no noise, nothing to alert me. The only thing left of the tire was the bead on the wheel and a black mark on the plastic fender. Moral of this story is that strange things can and do happen. Knee mail sent that night to express my thanks that a disaster did not happen and no one was hurt. Put the spare on the next morning and made it home for Xmas.
