Our First Flat Tire!

Cruising down the highway, headed to Quartzsite, all is well. Until...our tire pressure monitoring system starts beeping at us. One of the trailer tires is losing air quickly. So, Henry gets on the CB radio to Jim to let him know we're pulling off the highway to check the tire. Fortunately, there is an exit right there, so we all pull in. Sure enough, a piece of metal sticking out of the tire. Long story short, Jim and Henry changed the tire in the DQ parking lot, and we are back on the road in 30 minutes. Thanks again, Jim! Turns out the tire not only had one piece of metal but also a metal spike, which meant we had to buy a new tire. Ouch! We were thankful for the Pressure Pro system, or we would have had a major blowout with damage to the trailer.
