Is Dually a must for Solitude 5th wheel

[FT4NOW]

Curious. A mechanic told us that a problem with Doally trucks is, if you get a blowout in either rear wheel, it will total your truck and perhaps ruin your trailer. Don't know how true that is but it has us thinking about a SRW 3500 Diesel as we replace our F250 Diesel.

Anyone heard of this type of blowout?

How is that even a logical thought process? Hope you found a different mechanic after that comment.

A friend had blow out on his DRW and took out the fender extension (HIPS) but no where near total the truck. He also had some black marks on 5er from pieces of tire but no real damage that could removed with a magic eraser. If I was going to have a flat while towing a 5er I would rather have on a DRW than a SWR.

Had a rear flat on a SRW Short box a few years ago pulling my triple rear axle XLR. Destroyed the back tire but zero damage to the truck or trailer. Only hard to change because of being on the side of a highway. Control of the vehicle was fine. I think a front tire would be way worse but would have been similar DRW or SRW.
