Pop Up Camper Tires

Pop up camper tires might not look too different from the regular tires that you buy for your car, but they are.

They have to carry a much bigger load, therefore they also have to be stronger and sturdier than regular car tires.

The popup camper tires should always be in good condition. The tires get just as many miles as your car or truck.

The side of the tire usually states ‘capacity 1000 pounds at 45 PSI. This is the cold temperature of your tire before towing. You can use a pressure gauge to check the tire pressure.

Running car tires is different than running camper tires. Never follow the same rules as you would for your car. The tire pressure needs to be exact to handle the weight.

In Ohio and Oklahoma, you drive for long stretches on the interstate and should try to find a safe place to change a flat tire. If you get a flat tire, you want to make sure your car is in park with the emergency brake applied.

You should always chock the other camper tire to prevent shifting. Place the jack by the spring and attach it to the frame. If you need additional height, use blocks of wood to gain as much as you need.

Loosen the lug nuts before rising off the ground and jack up the camper. Finish taking the lug nuts off and place the new tire on the axle. Put the lug nuts back on, lower the tire so it touches the ground, and tighten the lug nuts. Lower the rest of the way and you are ready to get back on the road.

Always keep a spare tire and no the right size for your pop up camper tires. This is important for driving down the road. If you have a 2001 or 2002 camper, you probably need to check the tire to make sure it is still in good condition and filled with air. The right tire size and type of tire should always be the same. Never use a different make of tire unless it is the same size exactly.
