Blowouts, Bearings & Bull Riders: TPMS Truths from the Beyond the Chutes Super C — Live at Mountain Cove

Recorded on location inside Doug Simcox’s custom Super C (the Beyond the Chutes Bus) at the 11th Annual Mountain Cove Cowboy & Cowgirl Reunion at beautiful Mountain Cove Farms Resort in Chickamauga, Georgia. This special round-table features Doug Simcox of Beyond the Chutes and his co-host/partner Sam Swearingen—retired saddle bronc rider, longtime stock contractor, and rodeo producer—swapping real roadside stories and hard-won lessons about keeping rigs (and horses) safe on the highway.What you’ll hearSam’s rodeo road life: from broncs to stock contracting—and the nightmarish run that chewed through 11 tires before he ever reached the arena.Why TPMS matters (RV & equine trailers): heat, pressure, and the early warnings that save tires, bearings, fenders, wiring—and sometimes your day.Bearing failures & fire risk: how rising temps show up on sensors before you lose a hub (and how that protects expensive horses and gear).Cold snaps & PSI drops: Stan’s real-world pre-trip where falling morning temps triggered low-pressure alerts on all ten tires.Walk-arounds that work: quick routines, saved time, and the “data beats guesswork” mindset for safer travel.Black tank bloopers: comic relief with clogged gates, mislabeled flush ports, and why “education beats excavation.”Expandable setups: configuring multiple trailers, adding sensors later, and pairing layouts for duals, fifth wheels, and living quarters horse trailers.GuestsDoug Simcox — Host of the Beyond the Chutes podcast; owner of a Super C, a long-haul tower, and storyteller.Sam Swearingen — Co-host/partner on Beyond the Chutes; former PRCA/IPRA saddle bronc rider, stock contractor & rodeo producer.Gear & Resources MentionedTire Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS) for RVs & horse trailersShop TechnoRV (affiliate): https://technorv.com?Click=12127Wandering Gypsy RV Life: stories, photos, videos, and bloghttps://wanderinggypsyrvlife.comPatreon — Campfire Circle (video extras & behind-the-scenes):https://patreon.com/WanderingGypsyRVLifeBeyond the Chutes Podcast: rodeo history, legends & cowboy storytellingDisclosure: Some links are affiliate links.
