Here is a link to a video by Michelin dealing with tire blowouts in RVs. Despite them dealing with a class A, it should be the same in a c, b or TV. Would be nice if they could have one for TT's.

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing Jim.

I remember when I pulled a TT I saw a similar video on how to respond to excessive sway. It showed how to manually apply the trailer brakes with the brake controller to bring it back into line. Fortunately I never had to apply that lesson, but I did make sure to mount my brake controller in an easily reachable location. A little knowledge can go a long way toward keeping our families and those around us on the highways safe. If only we can remember and think quickly in the event something happens.

I saw a blowout on the front tire of a deuce once - wait it hit a IED - no one was hurt but it was spectacular.

Why would a birth control device cause a blow out on an Army truck? Oh wait - that was an IED NOT IUD. My bad.

The only time I have a blow-out is when I eat too many baked beans.:scared1:

It's the re-fried beans!! Beans will get ya, I'm tellin' ya!!!
Here is a f@rt fact for ya:

How much gas does a normal person pass per day?

On average, a person produces about half a liter of fart gas per day, distributed over an average of about fourteen daily farts.
Whereas it may be difficult for you to determine your daily flatus volume, you can certainly keep track of your daily numerical fart count. You might try this as a science fair project: Keep a journal of everything you eat and a count of your farts. You might make a note of the potency of their odor as well. See if you can discover a relationship between what you eat, how much you fart, and how much they smell.

This dispels the myth that women don't fart!!

I am going to attempt to get this thread back on topic.

Could you fill your RV's tires with fart gas? :rotfl:

wouldn't that be prone to blow outs? after all, it is methane and very flammable!

Jen needs to challenge her students to the "gas journal" science project! The kids would sing her praises!! The parents? Not so much!

my guess would be that if you used an IED, you would have some SERIOUS birth control.
