Thanks for saving me from starting a thread. It started out a bad day. Got the camper hooked up and got almost to 95 and looked out the right window to see rubber flying and smoke. The right rear tire blew out and shredded all over. It ripped a pretty good size hole in what the dealer calls L wrap. It's the aluminum that wraps the bottom of the camper. I had a jack which didn't go up high enough and one of those plastic ramps you drive the good tire on and it's supposed to lift the other up. Well that wasn't high enough either. Ended up pulling up on a curb and finally got it done. If I'd had a shovel I could've dug a hole in the ground easier than what I had to go through.
I just decided to go back home since I didn't have a spare anymore and we were only 10 miles into the trip.. The pup will be home tonight so we'll attempt to come again tomorrow.
Right before the blowout I had made a pretty sharp u turn. A dump truck cut me off and I was forced into a right turn only lane. I didn't see any debris in the median and the only thing I can think that caused it was the tire may have spun off the rim during the tight turn. From now on I'll avoid u-turns.
