Had a blowout in our 5th wheel. It was just a matter of time: The tires were old.
It is a similar story that you hear all the time of trailers with flats: Driving along and someone passing us honks and points to the back of our trailer. I pull over and take a look, sure enough a tire is shredded. Didn't do much damage to the camper other than leaving some black marks. While I was putting the spare on a police officer stopped by to see if we were doing ok. He pointed us to a nearby tire shop so I could get the spare replaced (we were still a good 3 hours from home and I didn't want to continue without a decent spare).
The tires served us well for a long time before the blowout so I just replaced them with the same tire (Maxxis). The guys at Discount Tire were originally skeptical when I was ordering them; trying to sell me something they had in stock. When they came in, however, I got a few comments from the installers about how good those tires were LOL.
