The first step is to give it more fuel, ‘step on the gas'. I have been told this before but never really understood the reasons why. This educational video produced by Michelin Tire will show simple steps to regain control of your RV in a blowout. The procedure is effective with bumper-pull , 5th wheel trailers as well as motorized rv's. Click read more to watch the video. this is a must see
Thank you Michelin Man (and Isacc Newton)
a blow out can will take the steering wheel out of your hands if you dont run with a tight grip on the wheel. Dont ask me how I know.
Yes, I learned 1st hand that the 1st thing not to do is panic and run to the back of your RV and try to save your Baccarat Crystal Gobbets in your RV's
Glass cabinet display........lol.
VERY informative! I plan to watch it several more times because I know that my natural inclination will be to hit the brakes. Hopefully if I watch it enough times I will change my first response. THANK YOU for posting this!
This was a great video for how to respond to blow out when driving an RV (or other large vehicles). It included both a front and a back blow out. The only thing missing on informative video is what to do if something you are towing has a blow out. I have been very lucky in that situation. Since the video did show a car in tow, that would have been a nice addition. For me, it was my sailboat. Calm instinct lead to grateful survival after crossing a bridge and loosing a trailer tire. Frightening, but not deadly.
I have had a blow out. Not in an RV, steering control is key to your survival! Thanks for passing this along to us.
