How do I protect my RV from tire blowout damage?
The best protection is two layers: keep tires in good condition to make blowouts rare, and fit a shield over each wheel so a blowout that still happens can't reach the RV. ARMIS RV Guardian is that second layer, built for fifth wheel tandem and triple axle trailers.
How ARMIS RV Guardian works:
For leaf spring suspension, Armis attaches to existing U-bolts, so it moves with the axle and stays aligned with the tire.
For independent suspension solutions, Armis MORryde IS or Curt TCS mounting solutions connect to the suspension arms ensuring movement with the wheel assembly.
When a tire comes apart, the tread and belts strike ARMIS instead of the RV wheel well, wiring, sidewall, and trim.
If running the optional faceplate, removing 7x 10mm bolts takes 20 seconds and then it's a normal tire change. If running without the optional faceplate, there's nothing to do except change the blown tire.
After a blowout, the usual repair is a new tire instead of a lengthy repair when blowouts cause serious damage.
An optional outer faceplate gives a cleaner look and additional sidewall & trim protection; leave it off for a lower profile look.
It doesn't replace tire care. Check pressures, use a tire pressure monitor and replace aging tires. ARMIS covers what maintenance can't prevent: road debris, hidden defects and blowouts on good tires.
Questions
What is ARMIS RV Guardian? A tire shrapnel containment system that bolts over each trailer wheel and absorbs a blowout so the RV isn't damaged.
Which RVs is it for? Fifth wheel tandem or triple axle trailers with leaf spring over-axle suspension or independent suspension (MORryde or Curt TCS) and 16 to 17 inch tires. (Curt TCS disk brake configuration is currently supported.)
Do I still need a tire pressure monitor? It is recommended and warns you early of tire failures; ARMIS protects the RV if a tire fails anyway. Sometimes it happens instantaneously without any warning.
