Investing in a travel trailer can be a big step for any camping enthusiast, but it can also come with quite a few responsibilities. As an owner of a travel trailer it’s your job to ensure your vehicle is in proper working order before heading out on any adventures.
At RV Masters in Hemet, CA and Pahrump, NV we try to equip our customers with the necessary insight needed to adequately care for their trailers. That’s why we’ve compiled this guide to help you determine when your travel trailer tires need replacing.
Leaks
One asset that’s perfect for helping you determine if you’re running on faulty tires is a pressure gauge. You should make a habit of checking your tire pressure regularly to ensure you’re not operating with insufficient air. If you notice a constant decrease in your tire pressure after refilling, you’re likely experiencing a bad leak which could mean it’s time for a replacement.
Worn Treading
Another aspect of your tire that requires constant inspections is your tire treading. Treading gives you the grip needed to be able to drive defensively on paved roadways. Driving any vehicle with worn treading puts you at risk of losing control and suffering harmful accidents while traversing public roads and highways.
Dry Rot
Dry rot is another irreparable form of damage that can attack tires that have been kept in storage or exposed to heat and dust. You should look out for cracking, shrinking and other telling signs that your tires have been compromised by dry rot. If unchecked this will place you at risk of a blowout which puts you and other drivers at serious risk.
