Doing everything right certainly helps. But bad things still happen to good people.
I had a trailer tire delam once. I wasn't even going fast but the flapping tread mangled strong steel fenders. I also know a number of people on camper forums who have experienced tire failures spanning the gamut from uneventful to catastrophic. At highway speeds tread separation really ventilates a fiberglass trailer. :O
Over the years there have been bad batches of tires from just about every major brand at one time or another. There can be no visible sign whatsoever that a fuse has been lit. Similarly, another recent fiasco was defective valve stems. While cruising a slow leak can bleed off pressure which can escalate temps pronto.
