While I was driving the motorhome on a narrow highway pulled over as soon as i came to a exit when the check engine light started flashing. I immediately pulled over as soon as it was safe and the code read failure on #1 fuel injector. I pulled into a campground and had the motorhome towed to a repair garage since it was not driveable the engine had a knock and did not want to do any damage to the engine .

WHILE DRIVING MY RV TO CAMPING WORLD TO HAVE MY STABILIZING JACKS REPAIRED I NOTICE A DRAG. I STOPPED AND CHECKED BUT DIDN'T FIND ANYTHING AT THE TIME. I CONTINUED TO CAMPING WORLD AND AS I TURNED INTO THERE PARKING LOT I HAD ALL I COULD TO STOP MY RV BEFORE HITTING ANYTHING. WHEN I GOT OUT 3 OF MY WHEEL RIMS WERE HOT AND YOU COULD SMELL THEM. I TOLD THE SERVICE PERSONNEL AND THEY AGREED. IN FACT WHEN THEY DROVE IT AROUND TO THE SERVICE AREA THEY HAD TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP IT BEFORE HITTING A WALL. AFTER FIXING MY JACKS I HAD TO HAVE MY UNIT TOWED TO A PLACE TO FIX THE BRAKES, SINCE THIS CAMPING WORLD WAS NEW AND DID NOT HAVE THE FACILITY FOR BRAKES YET. AT THE NEW FACILITY
I RECENTLY EXPERIENCED (09/03/04) CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OF TWO CARLISLE TIRES (ABOUT 80 MILES BETWEEN FAILURES) ON MY TRAVEL TRAILER.

ALL THAT WAS LEFT OF THE TIRE ON THE WHEEL WAS THE TWO SIDE WALLS. FORTUNATELY THE FRONT TIRE ON THE CURB SIDE DID NOT FAIL. WE INSTALLED THE SPARE TIRE AND CONTINUED. ABOUT 80 MILES FARTHER THE FRONT TIRE ON THE DRIVERS SIDE FAILED IN THE SAME MANNER. I RETRIEVED A CHUNK OF THE TIRE TREAD FROM THE HIGHWAY. LATER I FOUND ANOTHER PIECE UNDER THE BATH TUB. THE DAMAGE
