I passed on your issue to Kent Mickem at DRV (Mobile Suites) and here is what he said:

Please responded to him and have the repair center call me for help. They need to check the torque on the hub nuts on the other wheels Lippert had a time when they were over tightening the nuts causing premature bearing failure. The hub nuts need to be torque to 150 ft lbs.
