Sun Damage To RV Tires Can Cause Failures And Accidents
A large portion of the RVs on the road today spend most of their time sitting still in storage or longterm parking. Their use is limited because of limited vacation time or other financial concerns. This can create a hidden danger when they do pull out onto the highway because while they sat idle, the sun's ultraviolet rays have been quietly destroying the tires. Often the sun causes invisible damage to tires that may only come to light when they disintegrate at highway speeds.
By storing your RV indoors, or at least protecting the tires and other sun-sensitive surfaces with covers, you can prolong the useful life and original luster of your RV. This not only makes your RV safer, but helps to retain more of its original value as well.
Think twice before heading out on RV tires that have been out in the sun for 5 years or more. You could be setting yourself up for a terrible accident.
