VAF!

I have a flat at KBOC on an RV-8A. Does anyone know what type of tube on the main wheel. Also, can I get it at tractor supply?

If you would like to text, my number is 8504209771.

Thank you!

Matt, Are you sure you have the airport ID correct? I can't find it on Air Nav or AOPA. (OK, never mind, while I was typing this, you fixed your ID. Sorry.)

He needs a tube for a main, so a 5:00X5-6 if anyone can help. Maintenance on the field does not have one.

Tractor Supply Hi-run tun4002-tr87 410-350-5. It is a little smaller but works fine.
 
Thank you for the reply. Unfortunately, both Pep Boys and Tractor Supply no longer carry this part. I also found out Aircraft Spruce does not ship on the weekends. Any other ideas?

I also learned you CAN get a car dolly that works great for moving a RV with a flat tire!
 
Just patch the tube?

Is the tire a total loss? Either way you need to address the tube.

A patch is a get home, not permanent solution for me.

Just for clarification, this tube is still available as an online purchase from Tractor Supply.

Correct, it is available online, but at that point I should just order the actual tube....which is apparently becoming the only option. Still no luck finding a tube and the old one is beyond repair. Any other RVers in the Fort Lauderdale area with an extra tube for sale? Time is important because I deploy a week from tomorrow :(

Thank you again for the help!
