Watching these videos could save your life!

Anyone who drives an RV should have to watch these videos.

RV Tire Information Videos.
http://www.michelinrvtires.com/tires/tires-101/tire-maintenance-and-safety/how-to-handle-a-blowout/
They are about 20 minutes long, so if you have a dial up it may take quite a while. You can request a copy of the video to be sent to you.

I had a blowout on a rear outside dual passenger side that wiped out the gray water tank. I was a newbie with and old rig and the tires "looked good". As I recall, I just steered straight ahead without braking while the rig slowed down then pulled off the freeway.
I can see where, with a front tire blowout, applying throttle to sustain momentum and steering control and then gradually letting speed bleed off without braking until very slow would help especially with a front wheel blowout. T'would be nice if they gave you these videos with your new rig.

Great post. Sure am glad I watched. Would not of guessed to give gas first. I would have let it coast. I am more prepared for this type of event

Methinks he means "ditto."

BTW - Ditto. Should be mandatory viewing before taking delivery of your rig.

Bob,

It is stuck at the top, but will be rotated to some of the other forums. Probably Beginning RVing next.

Rodger,
Execellent information. Glad you found it and shared with us.

ADMIN: How about locking this one to the top. A real lifesaver

I just got my reply to my request.

These videos are not available in Canada yet. They offered to send me a booklet, to which I said: 'yes, please'.

& I haven't read the whole thread so I may be giving duplicate information. If so, sorry, enjoying the good weather and spending less time online.

But they didn't mention the alternative where the vehicle occupants all bail out while wearing the newly introduced, inflatable rubber suit. It's a sectionalized outfit that pretty much looks like the Michelin Tire Man!!! 😉
