Tire-ing

The big thing about RVing is that stuff happens. It rains when you want to hike. The campground you hoped to camp in is full. You forget something and the nearest store is miles away. That sort of stuff. Another one is that things break.

We were driving on I-75 when one of our tires blew! John slowed down but there was smoke coming from the tires. We’re not sure what caused it, but both tires (side by side tires) were damaged. It doesn’t look like dry rot (the tires are not yet 3 years old). Anyhow, we called the company we use for roadside assistance. The truck with new tires came in 90 minutes. When it wasn’t raining, I sat outside reading since it was hot in the RV. Then it took another hour or so to jack the RV up in the grass. We were on rims so we couldn’t drive anywhere.

After that came three hours of driving through Atlanta traffic. Luckily, there was space at the next campground. Did I mention it was raining off and on all day? Setting up in the rain is always fun. The next morning was still lightly raining so no morning hike.

RV’ing is always exciting!
