Near Tire Blow Out
If you remember, I mentioned when we were in Georgia that the repairman who was fixing our black tank that fell on the axles thought our back trailer axles were not lined up property. Scott ordered a new tire and when we got to North Carolina we picked up the new tire from Lisa's house. On June 28th, we took the other tire off and look what we found?! We've only got 20,000 miles on these tires and we should have been good up to 60,000 miles on these. So scary! It really angers me that people can be so careless in the production of RVs! Nice job, Montana!
Holy Moly, Batman! We should have had a blow out on the way to Lisa's but we feel that because we say our prayers every morning that we will travel safely and include the truck and trailer in our prayers, we didn't get a blow out.
We ordered a second tire and now had that tire going to Ryan's house and got it when we arrived in Maryland.
Now, we just have to get to Indiana where the entire braking system is being replaced with disc brakes and the axles will be mounted properly.

Yikes!! Glad you caught it.
ReplyDeleteUs, too! The next disc brakes are being put on tomorrow. The axle was supposed to be put on then, but they didn't have record of ordering it so they'll put it on when we get to Sturgeon Bay.
