Lack of owner attention and maintenance is what caused this. Inspections before and after each trip would have caught the potential problem. Wheel bearing, brake shoe inspection at the very least every 2 years or after driving some serious miles would have found a problem. This is the very reason I don`t follow anyone towing a camper or trailer or Motorhome towing a car in caravan type travel. Don`t need a tire, bike rack, generator, car carrier coming through my windshield at 65 MPH.
Move up to 1:50 to see what I mean. When do you think this guy pulled his wheels and checked things out before he over loaded his trailer with Aunt Milley`s antiques. Our campers are on the edge of being over loaded with the 7000 lb axles,wheels and some tires they get by with and need to be inspected every time out and post trip. I believe it is a responsibility to the traveling public if not to your wallet.
