Traveling at 65 MPH on the interstate, my 2003 holiday rambler blew three valve stems out of the tires. The valves separated where the rubber and metal insert went together. The tires went flat right a way and caught fire. I got the trailer off to the side of the road without upsetting it. While looking at the damage the fouth valve stem blew. I was lucky my family and I was not killed. Someone with less experience in towing them could upset the trailer and cause a serious accident or kill some one. Holiday rambler was notified and told me it was my problem cause the camper was over a year old. Holiday rambler is made by monco coach. I feel that monco should pay for the road service and new tires they had to put on to get the camper on the road.
