I bought a 2011DRV REB36 with the sealed bearings. I was told that the unit had very low mileage which it did look like it did. We left on our trip in May and six weeks into trip coming into Rawlins Wyoming the right front wheel melted off the spindle which caused the left front spring break. I had to replace both axles with Dexter 7000 pound axles. I was told it would take three weeks before I could get replacement axles so I drove to Casper Wyoming and picked up the axles myself. Could’ve been there a long time but four days is what we spent getting the axles replaced. . I replace them with hubs that I can lube with a grease gun I would never trust those never lube axles again. It cost me $3700 to replace the axles that does not include the tire and wheel that I lost. Could’ve done it much cheaper at home and it would’ve been much safer. If I had it to do over again I would take those hubs apart replace the bearings with new grease packs or replace the axles with Dexter. Good luck!
