What owners report
ON 9/27/2013 I HAD A BLOW-OUT WITH A BCT TK42 ST225/75R15 ON MY 24" 5TH WHEEL ALUMASCAPE TRAILER. THE RESULT WAS A 3-4' TREAD SEPARATION THAT CAUSED SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO MY TRAILER. THE TIRE LOCATION WAS AT THE RIGHT REAR SIDE. THE DAMAGE IS ESTIMATED AT OVER $400 AND INCLUDES REPLACEMENT OF THE ENTIRE PLASTIC FENDER COVER AS WELL AS REPAIR TO THE STEEL PROPANE LINE THAT WAS BROKEN JUST TO THE REAR OF THE TIRE. THERE IS ALSO DAMAGE TO THE ELECTRICAL RECEPTACLE JUST ABOVE THE TIRE. I BOUGHT A NEW GOODYEAR TIRE FOR A REPLACEMENT. THE BCT (BEIJING CAPITAL TIRE) IS MADE IN CHINA. THE APPROXIMATE MILEAGE ON THIS TIRE WAS LESS THEN 9,000 MILES AND CAME WITH THE TRAILER WHEN I BOUGHT IT IN
THIS IS A BRAKE FAILURE ON MY 2002 HOLIDAY RAMBLER ALUMASCAPE 30RKD FIFTH WHEEL TRAILER. THE FORM WOULD NOT ALLOW THE CORRECT VEHICLE TO BE ENTERED - THIS IS NOT AN ATLANTIS ISSUE. THE ALUMASCAPE TRAILER IS EQUIPPED WITH DEXTER 5.2K AXLES. WHILE PERFORMING ANNUAL BRAKE INSPECTION AND BEARING LUBRICATION, A FAILURE OF THE DEXTER BRAKE SHOES WAS EVIDENCED WHEN I REMOVED THE BRAKE DRUM FROM THE AXLE. THE BONDED BRAKE LINING, ON THE FORWARD SHOE, HAD SEPARATED FROM THE BRAKE SHOE ON BOTH AXLES. THIS SEPARATION HAD OCCURRED ON THE BRAKES ON BOTH OF THE DUAL AXLES. I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG THE LININGS HAD BEEN SEPARATED FROM THE SHOES. FOR FAILURES TO OCCUR ON BOTH AXLES APPEARS TO BE A FAILURE
WHILE TOWING MY 2002 HOLIDAY RAMBLER ALUMASCAPE 5TH WHEEL TRAILER I EXPERIENCED TWO CATASTOPHIC TIRE FAILURES WITHIN THE PAST 3 MONTHS. THE TRAILER IS A MODEL 30RLD WITH A DRY WEIGHT OF ABOUT 9600LBS. THE TIRES ARE GOODYEAR WRANGLER HT LT RADIALS, SIZE LT225/75R16, LOAD RANGE E. THE DOT INFORMATION IS: G18R DOT MKIL MMHV 16/01. THEY WERE THE ORIGINAL TIRE THAT CAME EQUIPPED WITH MY RV, AND CURRENTLY HAVE APPROXIMATELY 8,000 MILES ON THEM. I RELIGIOUSLY MAINTAIN 80PSI IN THE TIRES. ON AUGUST 5TH, 2004, AT 2000 MILES ON THE TIRES, I EXPERIENCED A TOTAL TREAD SEPARATION AND IMMEDIATE DEFLATION ON I 15 NORTH OF LAS VEGAS NV. THE TREAD WRAPPED AROUND THE AXLE OF THE TRAILER, AND THE CASING
