Hi,
I just had the exact same thing happen to me. Wheel bearing seized up on my tandem 23 ft travel trailer on the side of the highway. I managed to get it off the highway and into a WalMart parking lot riding on the nut and cotter pin. The tow company sent a few trucks and a flatbed but no one would touch it. I received lots of advice to chain up the axle but like you there was nothing to attach it to as there was no clearance around the frame. I was told that a float or a low boy trailer was the only way to go but there would be an issue of getting the travel trailer on and off the float/low boy. Does anyone know about putting a TT on a low boy?
