BEARINGS!!!
I have my bearings repacked every other year. Ironically I took my 5th wheel into Les Schwab this morning as we were getting ready for a month long trip. They called and told me that the front bearing was shot and the brakes were soaked in grease and that the brake spring was disconnected, the adjustment key fell out as well:(:(:(:. The good news is that they could fix and replace all needed parts. Got my trailer back in 1 1/2hrs:):) There was no indication that anything was wrong or broken prior to taking the RV into Les Schwab!!! I will continue my alternative year repacking of my bearings!
