A passing motorist said that he heard or thought he heard the brake drums scraping on our fifth wheel. These are never lube axles is this possible , if so what is the solution?
I had a similar situation when we had our fiver. But in addition to noise I had excessive heat radiating from the wheel- especially towards the hub and around the metal wheel center. Removing the brake drum revealed the shoe liner had shattered and was binding the brake drum and the shattered liner material and was making a heck of a mess.
I limped slowly into a shop - about 30 miles further and replaced the entire drum assembly.
