The more I’ve read RV forums about tires blowing, and too many times within 6 months of purchase, I'm becoming more convinced these tires were damaged by the commercial RV towing professional. But if that is true, then he or she is not performing the job professionally.
Amy and I were discussing it today and we can recall several times when a commercial driver towing RVs were flying by us.
Maybe it would be prudent that we take more notice of this possibility and be proactive. I know that kind of makes us look like policing a problem, but I don't know any other alternative without some kind of enactment of a state and/or federal law. I don’t think the RV industry has any control over the commercial driver.
One thing I think we could do is take a tire gauge with us to a dealership and check the tire pressure on any trailer we are considering purchasing. If the tire pressure is below certification label rating or the sidewall maximum rating, that could be a good negotiation talking point.
What say you?
