I continuously kept an eye on the weather in Jacksonville. I decided that I could go home today so at 2 am I packed up the RV and left. I really wanted to beat the traffic from everyone else going back home. I did. Nice easy drive until I got to Jacksonville. About 30 miles from home all three tires on the passenger side of the RV blew. I decided to limp it as far as I could in hopes that I could make it home. I made it about 20 miles and could go no further. Sorry the photo is so dark. It was about 5:30 am.
I left the RV on the side of the road and went the rest of the way home. Found a tire shop that would come out with a new rim and tire. To make a very L-O-N-G story short, he came and took the old rims and tires off and put on a new tire and rim on the rear axle and the spare that I had on the front axle. Chained up the middle axle. Then I limped the rest of the way home with the tire guy following to make sure that I made it.
The Daily yard was damage free although it was very obvious that a big storm had gone through there. There was a lot of tree branches and "tree stuff" all over the place. My truck was fine!! Whew!!
