| Description of the problem | While traveling home from a camping trip, one of the tires blew on our travel trailer, causing significant damage to the trailer. After replacing the tire with a spare, we continued on and went approximately 30 miles, the second tire blew on the other side of the trailer also causing significant damage. We had our 3 1/2 year old granddaughter with us. Because we had no other spares, we were forced the drop the trailer and continue home. My husband had to find another tire on a sunday afternoon and drive back up the mountain to replace the tire in order to bring our trailer back home. Fortunately we were not involved in any accidents to this, but still have significant damage to our trailer. *nm |
