6000lb camper, blown tire on the highway
First, I'm only guessing the weight. I can feel it's a little heavier than my former AF 1150. The DOT scale by my house has been closed since I got my new camper. But anyway... Coming back today...

I'm not trying to start yet another SRW vs. DRW fight, but that extra tire carried the load very well until I could safely pull over.
But the SRW wouldn't have even hit the piece of metal. ;)
Glad to hear you got back on the road.
Coming down I-5 in WA this afternoon with the camper and trailer I clipped something about the size of a towel bar laying in my lane (no time to swerve safely). Fortunately no tire damage but the thing took off like a twirling baton barely missing the windshield of the car next to me. It probably launched over 10 feet high before landing against the median.
