What to do if Your RV has a Tire Blow Out

When you’re out on the open road in an RV, a tire blowout can be a real disaster. Not only is it scary, it can also be dangerous, putting your vehicle and everyone in it at risk. If you are unfortunate enough to have a RV tire blow out, don’t panic! Although it can be a scary experience, follow these simple steps and you will be back on the road in no time.

If your RV has a tire blow out while you are driving, here are the steps you should take:

First, make sure that you pull off the road as soon as possible. Trying to drive on a blown-out tire is dangerous and can lead to further damage to the RV. It can be tricky to regain control of your vehicle at first but you just need to stay calm and focus on this step. 

Next, be sure to turn on your hazard lights so that you keep yourself and others safe in this situation. It’s important to alert other drivers on the road and increase your visibility.

Once you’ve stopped, take a look at the tire. If the tire is completely flat, you’ll need to change it. If the tire is still inflated but has a large hole in it, you may be able to patch it.

You will most likely need to change your tire and in the event that you do, you’ll want to do it as safely and efficiently as possible.

Make sure that you are parked in a safe and level spot in order to do a tire change. Grab your TrailerLegs for safe and fast jacking of your RV. 

Now that your tire is off the ground you’re ready to change our tire and be on your way!

Make sure to do a safety check of all the other tires before you get back on the road.

Hopefully you never find yourself in a situation where your tire blows out. But if you ever are, we hope these tips will have you fully prepared and will get you back on the road as soon as possible.
