🔥🚐 When your RV tire catches FIRE… not once, but TWICE 😳
I was headed from Florida back to Denver in my RV when people started honking and waving like crazy. I just figured they were annoyed that I was going too slow with the RV 🤷♀️
Then I glanced in my mirror… and saw actual flames shooting out from the middle of my tire 😭🔥
I pulled over as fast as I could, and within minutes, firefighters and police were there on the side of the highway. They got the fire out before it spread to the RV (thank God 🙏).
After putting it out, the firefighters followed me to the nearest tire shop — but at the stoplight right before we got there, the tire caught on fire again. They had to jump out and put it out all over again, right there in the intersection 😳🔥
Then, as I made the turn into the tire shop, the tire completely fell off at an angle, leaving me stuck in the middle of their lot blocking traffic. Good Sam’s covered my $600 tow (thank goodness!), and I found a driver super fast — one of those huge Landoll flatbed tow trucks that can haul a 35-foot trailer. (Stay tuned for videos!)
I had to back the RV around a corner and up onto the raised truck myself, but it went really smooth. Texas Trailers Sales & Service let me stay overnight on the grassy area right next to the shop — which was perfect, because I had nowhere else to go — and they cleared their whole day today to fix my RV.
RV life will test you, humble you, and push your limits… but it also shows you just how many incredible people are out there ready to help when you need it most ❤️
Blessed for every single person who helped me — the firefighters, the police, the tow driver, Mavis Tires & Brakes, and Texas Trailers. One of the officers even crawled underneath my trailer to re-hook my brakes using a photo my mobile tech in Denver (who I’m so grateful for always being there for me Rickey Wayne Bryan at Rocking B Mobile RV) texted me with a diagram. Everyone went above and beyond. 🙏
