Re: [A/S] No trailer brakes after tire mishap



Hi Hunter,
Sounds like you are really having problems.  I read about a unit you can
purchase from Camping World.  It is all remote and the base unit installs in
your tow vehicle.  Then you use the tire caps that come with it on your towed
vehicle.  If you lose air in a tire, it sounds an alarm.  I think that would
be a good idea and much safer.

I read about a couple who were driving a motor home somewhere out west.  They
were towing a car behind and it blew a tire.  They were not aware that this
had happened and started a fire from the blown tire.  Apparently the fire
burned several acres of forest land and the couple were being sued by the
state for damages.  Never heard how it turned out.

You were really lucky!
