Hello Everyone,
I have a 2014 Class C Coachman Freelander 30'. I seem to have an excessive amount of tire problems on the passenger dually side. By excessive I mean that I have owned the RV for three years and just had my third separation issue with that same tire position. The original tire that was on the RV when I purchased it (used) blew. The first replacement separated after less than a year, and today I had the replacement of the replacement separate. The tire that separated today is less than a year old and has less than 2k miles on it. Prior to making this trip, as I do before every trip, I took the tire down and had them do a pressure check and fill the tire per specs at Discount Tire. I am going to take it into the service shop tomorrow but I didn't know if anyone else has had the same issue and what the cause seemed to be. I love to take the family in the RV but it is getting to the point that I worry every time I take it out, a tire will blow.
Thanks everyone,
Here is some additional information:
1) The RV is based on a Ford chassis (it is an E-450)
2) The Tires on there currently (including the one that separated) are Pathfinder LT 225/75 R16E. This is the recommended size for the rig.
3) Rear Tire pressure should be set to 80PSI. I am assuming Discount filled them to this PSI but I am not sure.
4) The Gross Vehicle Weight Rating is 14,500 lbs.
5) Okay, and this one hurts to say. TonyDtorch is correct. Not always but there are stretches (including this latest trip) that I have driven it at 70mph.
The thing that has me puzzled is that it is always the same tire location, never any of the others. It is always the inside passenger side dually.
Thanks for everyone's input.
Thanks,
Nate
