Yeah, good choice. Only trust one bag and tire to get your coach out of
harms way. That is measured in feet, not miles. Murphy is always, always
present. If you give him a chance, he will get you every time.

Spot on Jim. Driving on one bag, and one tire is meant as an emergency measure only. Even if one were to inflate that one tire to the max rated PSI, it would be carrying right around 4,000# on a tire rated for 2,780#. Not a very safe proposition.
