I was wondering if anyone had an opinion on the 2005 Bloomers. 12ft short wall, pod, full lq, etc. I have had some friends that had problems with tires blowing. This trailer also has 7200# axles. Are these big enough?

You are probably seeing the results of running 90-100% or more of axle capacity. The torsion axles are not designed to be at max carrying capacity most of the time. Is it a 3, 4, or 5 horse? Age and tire wear is a killer. New tires, will hold, but get 3 years on the G614s and a few miles, you will blow things up.
Ours is a Cimarron 4 horse with 12 LQ and will come in completely full at 18,800 pds. If you do the math, with 15% on tongue, each axle has to carry 7990.
I suggest running it over a scale and doing the math. My experience is that I want to run no more than 75% of axle capacity. Good luck!
