When I backed our trailer into our driveway today I saw smoke coming from one of the driver's side wheels. It is apparent that I burned out a wheel bearing. I don't want to chance driving it any distance for repairs and are uncomfortable attempting to replace it myself.
What type company besides a mobile RV tech would come to my home to replace the bearing? We just moved to the Knoxville, TN area last week and I am unfamiliar with the area.
Thanks for your suggestions!
How far had it gone before you noticed the smoke?
Jack up that wheel and give it a spin. If it spins and doesn't exhibit more that 10 thou or so endshake just tow it to the shop (slowly) and have it fixed. They'll growl a long time before they come apart and the damage has already been done anyway.
