New axle and now home from our trip..Kudos to crew at Camping World of Buffalo!
Hi all,
Just got back from a two week trip out east. Despite have the bearings serviced we had a wheel lock up on the trip out just outside of Buffalo NY. Guy pulled up next to us and let us know we had a wheel smoking. It was dusk and we were literally 3 hours into our 7 hour drive to NY.
The towing company nursed us to the exit on 3 wheels (not exposed hitch because of the pro-pride hitch) and fortunately the camping world was literally a mile off the highway. Bearings we're seized on the axle. Real head-scratcher considering they were serviced less than 500 miles ago.
Boondocked for the first time in the CW parking lot and was standing at the service door the minute they opened.
Kudos to the team there ...we had to get a new axle (thank you extended warranty!) and had us on the road by 7:00 pm that night. The manager authorized overtime for his crew so we didnt have to stay another night and miss our appointments the next day in Boston.
We were out the deductible and the cost to repack the other bearings just to be safe.
We camped at Normandy Farms outside of Boston and Lake George RV resort. Two of the best campgrounds I've every seen, hands down.
