| Experienced two tire blowouts resulting in damage to undercarriage and significant risk of fire explosion due to location of main lp supply lines. rv tires had less than 10,000 miles with excellent tread and proper inflation per manufacturer specs. approximately 130 miles into trip, right inside rear tire lost complete tread but not air pressure. when changing tire, noticed damage to undercarriage and exposed lp lines and electrical wires that were mounted in the wheel wells. these lines were covered with a thin piece of sheet metal that the tire quickly destroyed. after first repair, experienced a blowout of the left rear inside tire with complete air loss. there was damage to the main lp supply line (bent and crimped) again due to its inappropriate location in the wheel well without proper protection. luckily, the propane line did not rupture but required complete replacement. the main fuel tank filler tube is also located in the wheel well. this is a very poor design and poses significant risk of explosion when experiencing tire blowouts. vehicle chassis and brakes were also checked by an authorized ford dealer and no problems were found with brake overheating that may have contributed to tire problems. the vehicle has also been weighed and was not overloaded and the tire pressures were confirmed by a road service repair technician.( dot number: vdilixd257 tire size: lt22575r16 ) | |||
