Single Axle travel trailers.

In my particular case, it hadn't seized, but the entire thing was missing. Even the axle nut had sheered its pin and was hanging on by a thread or two. On a dual axle trailer, I could have removed that tire the rest of the way and done as mentioned above.

By limped, I didn't mean I would drive like there were no issue. Again, in my case, I could have gone a few miles an hour to the campground that I was only a few miles from. Even that much would have saved me from having my family spend hours on a roadside.

We could argue specs for the axle, etc. but that's what I'd chose every time given the other risks.

Are those sealed bearings or tapered roller bearings? Either way I think carrying a set of spare bearings would be a good idea. In theory you could drive off the old bearings/races on the side of the road and drive on the new ones in a pinch. If they are tapered roller bearings, which I much prefer, repacking them once a year is an easy job that would save a lot of heartaches.
