Lost wheel bearing on axel!

[mrkgrysngr]

Well, this has been quite a day. We started out from Colby, KS headed for the Wichita area. We got about 25 miles and lost a wheel bearing on our 2007 36' RS3 Mobile Suite. The bearings are sealed and are supposed to last for thousands of miles. We have maybe 9,000 miles at the most on the rig.

I was just wondering if anyone else has had problems like this. I ordered the unit with the best suspension you could have. I got 8,000 lb. axels, aluminium wheels, 17.5 tires and TrailAire. In other words the works. I will have to have the whole axle replaced with rotor, brake caliper etc. on the side that went bad.

Lippert has been very good so far in helping. I was able to get them and John Carpenter said all the parts will be pulled Monday and shipped that same day. I am hoping they can all get here to Oakley, KS by Wed - Thursday next week at the latest.

So...... any advise from you all would be appreciated. Should I be suspect of the other "sealed bearings" and ask that they be replaced too?

Thanks in advance for any input.
