A proper scale will be able to weigh every axle at one time. It is divided into sections with load cells for each section. Front axle, truck rear axle, and trailer axles.

They all put the cheap tires on there. I thought that trailer looked familiar. So you did buy it from where we all had ours built. Oh well, it is part of owning a trailer. I blew a brand new valve stem on my outside drivers side dually tire last trip and ended up ripping the rear axle trailer brake wires off. Chit happens. Just fix it and move on.

You made me laugh!!!

Yeah I charge it to learning experience! It was fun and slowly getting used to backing up that trailer and squeezing through tight gas stations.

Had 5x trips with the trailer. This was the only one had issues with.
Im getting that Goodyear on my next trip next year at the Dragon again.

I am thinking about the Goodyears also, just hate to throw money away if I can get another year out of these. You will normaly get a warning of a bulge in the tire tread when they are ready to be changed.
Or you will see cracking in between the tread.

You know I think the heat of the Florida sun did it to my tires. The only one blew out is the side of the passenger side which is where constantly exposed to the sun even if I covered the tires.

The driver side is facing my fence which hardly gets any sun exposure. It made it through out the trip.

But I changed them too... just to be sure I wont end up another blown tire on the way home. Total I bought 5 bnew tires this trip. The 5th one is for my spare tire.

You gotta pay if you want to play!

You should try and do something to mitigate that. Ideally, something to provide shade. I bet turning the RV around 180 degrees every so often to even out the sun exposure would help, but I'm not sure you have that option.

They make RV tire covers to protect from UV rays. That is what Rusty was talking about earlier. I need one for my spare.
