Hi all thanks for your comments. I'll try to explain and provide details about this blowout. It was the passenger front tire. Tire 2 years old, approximately 15k mi on the tire. We don't believe we ran over anything. We did save the carcass and will take it to Newell to see if they can tell anything about it. We were going 65mph on level pavement, in the RH lane. James said he was surprised he didn't have to use a lot of effort to keep the coach straight, and that the coach pretty much self braked due to the drag of the blown tire which seemed to stay under the wheel, the wheel was not damaged nor the wheel well or neighboring wire bundle. It didn't take long to get the coach onto the shoulder and stopped. There was no other damage except the tire sensor which was toast obviously. Newell stated they did not know of a blowout on a 365, this was the first. Also in order to be towed, Newell said the drive train would have to be removed. James finally got the road service rep off of towing and send a mobile tire service person instead. Hope helpful.
