One lucky rv'er , it could have been worse.

I was working today near the KOA in Annapolis md , when we went for lunch , I decided to go look at the campground I have passed for 20 years , but never went down the road. I went in and looked , it was nice , on the way out a guy was stopped with his new Ford and his new trailer . Right next to it was his trailer tire on the rim with the brake drum attached . The nut and cotter pin was still on the spindle , there was grease , it was a 6 month old trailer . HE HAD JUST GOT OFF THE INTERSTATE 1 MILE Before it fell off .

I had my work van , helped him load tire in his truck , told him where a local rv shop was 3 miles away , and told him he would be ok to drive slowly to get in the campground .

PS .. this has nothing to do with they type of tire , they were all fine . The damage was minimal compared to what could have happened if he were driving on the highway .
