Something we didn't plan for
So far our full-timing adventure has gone well. But on Monday, June 20, we were notified by other drivers on the interstate of a problem. Not seeing any smoke or anything dragging, I slowed down...

The axles arrived from Dexter yesterday mid-day - July 20. They were installed, the rig road tested - and we picked up the TT at 2 pm today July 21.
I got a closeup look at the old axles. My father was a welder - he would have tanned my rearend if I ever did welds as sloppy as the ones on the original axles. One weld on both the front and rear axles was simply a very poor job. Likely was never actually attached. That allowed the axle to work against the other welds til they all broke on one side of the front axle.
Thanks to ExploreUSA in Mesquite (Dallas) for getting the job done right.
