Sherri Kris and I headed out Friday morning to the dealership to get our warranty work done on the new home. We were up at 6:00 am and had our coffee. Sherri got the inside things done while I was outside doing my thing. I had forgot to get my diesel so I had to rush to town and top off.
When I got back I hooked us all up brought up the jacks and we were down the road. We had stayed in the state park just down from the lake property. Soon we were out on I-20 headed west. That is when the first of the problems started. I had just passed an eighteen wheeler when we head something hit the bottom of the truck. Not more than a second later my tire alarm went off and the pressure level began to drop on my front passenger side tire. Lucky for us we were not far from an exit ramp which we took and then pulled into a truck stop at that ramp. by the time we got parked the tire pressure had dropped to zero. I pulled to where I thought I would be out of the way...however I was not. I called the roadside assistance folks and got some help on the way and not more than a few minutes passed and a gentlemen came up and said I had to move. He was needing to pick up one of the trailers I was parked in front of. So here I am...flat tire pulling out of the way.
It was not too long and the service guy showed up. He got the spare put on and we noticed it needed air. They did not have anyway to air up the tire so we had to find a place to get air. You know back in the good ol days you could go many places and have you tires aired up for free...not in this day and time. You have to find one of those coin operated mini pumps...and with a 43 foot trailer on the back...it is not an easy task. We found one at Bucky's but the air nozzle had been taken off.
Finally we had to park the trailer in a parking lot and unhitch. Sherri and Kris stayed with the trailer and I took off to find some air. Lucky for me...and I use the word "Lucky" loosely...I found a pump that worked and got the tire aired up.
Returning to the trailer Sherri informed me that our bedroom door had fallen off! OK enough is enough...I told them both that the trip to the dealership was off for this day. I called and cancelled our appointment. I set it up for Monday at 11:00 am which by that time I would have a new set of tires and a better frame of mind...

If the bedroom door had fallen off would it not have been covered under warranty? The dealer could have been fixing it at no charge to you while you got your new tires.
Be Safe and Enjoy!
It's about time.
OUCH! That certainly was a trying day. Hope the next one is better.
Wow, it sounds like the worst (or close) case scenario. I had a similar problem in Tennesse last Summer, but thank goodness I wasn't towing. I lost the tire because there wasn't a good place to pull over.
Wishing you the best on Monday.

Sure do know about that 'better frame of mind' situation in times of stress. Last flat tire we had was in New Mexico a couple years back. The sidewall blew out.....
It never rains that it doesn't pour.
