Startled us out of bed thinking the possibilities of hot water tank, furnace, even the water hose from the well source we were using was suspect... I noticed the fender skirt was damaged. Was not that way when we left our home. Tire was still holding pressure but the side wall was partially blown out. We felt lucky that it did not happen on the highway. Before returning home on Sunday, we will replace both tires. Recommendations are being taken if you please.

rvcycleguy,
Remember, a major factor in trailer tire failure is sun damage...which is not evident when you just look at the tire. Search around for wmtire's posts. He has educated most of us about this over the past couple of years.
IMHO, 3 years is the max for age on trailer tires.
