If you get a front wheel blow out, like I have had, you may find that your cruise control shuts off. I don't know if it is because of one of the electronic sensors or what but my cruise control shut off with a blow out.
Of course everyone drives with their cruise control but they also have the steering wheel in their hands and their feet near the brake and throttle.
Hitting the throttle for me is not intuition, it is training and experience, which all of us that drive RV's gain with every mile that we drive. Obviously you cannot train for every emergency that might come up, but like I did with my airplanes, I watched examples and read information about what to do in certain situations. Much like watching a tire blow out video is not like the real thing, but it should condition you to make the right decision if it ever does happen to you.

OK, somebody please explain exactly what kind of sensor would trigger my cruise control to shut off IN THE FIRST 4 SECONDS of a blowout event. My Allegro didn't have one, my Vectra didn't have one, my GMC doesn't have one, my previous Cadillac didn't have one, and I will call Spartan to ask them about my Dutch Star.
Further more, you and I are not concerned about us. Speaking for myself, I not in the least worried about a blowout tire event in our vehicles (except for the high cost of repairs to the damage that it does on the vehicle).
What we need to do is keep on trying to help those RV drivers who believe that somehow an outside source comes in an takes the steering wheel out of your control.
