We had a blow out with on our single-axle travel trailer. We were driving, and my husband said, "This feels really weird all of a sudden." I looked out the window to see smoke pouring out of the side of the trailer. We realized the tire had blown and pulled over. Luckily, there was no loss of control or any other danger. We had noticed the tire looked low that morning and meant to check it at the gas station, but we got distracted. We learned out lesson and now check the tire pressure before hitting the road.
On the return trip on the same trip, we were hauling bikes in the camper, and one managed to rub against the stove knobs in just the right way, turning on the propane. We stopped for gas and heard the carbon monoxide beeping. When we opened the door, the propane smell hit us, and we realized what had happened.
Live and learn!
