I find all of these armchair experts opinions hilarious. They were not there, but they are very sure of themselves... One even said that we shou;d have smelled it!!
Just how does one "smell" what is happening bhind hind them at 70MPH?
One vguy says that the tire came off close to home when we did the swerve manuvuer.
Another is sure that at our last fuel stopm, that a better inspection would have revealed the trouble... That was at least 150 miles prior
Obviuously, at least one of these "experts" has to be wrong!
Reality is they are likely both wrong.
They do agree on one thing though... This incident was somehow our fault.
Really?
I'll stand by my statement that the wheel assembly probably came off during the swerve maneuvers (you state 3 of them) Not that the swerve maneuvers caused the wheel bearing to siege------that had been on going for quite some time.
I have a hard time believing a double axle TT being towed at 75 mph then preforming a swerve while decelerating and then preforming 2 more rapid swerve maneuvers did so with a wheel assembly gone and handled just fine
I also believe that with proper tow mirrors, set correctly and used routinely by driver and passenger that the whole issue of when wheel assembly came off would be a mute point because it would have been noticed
