In Virginia, we stopped for gas. John is neurotic about walking around the RV and car every stop to check for problems. Given that he found tire problems on our trip to Washington, I see his point but it gets to be annoying. Plus, he seems to have every tool known to man packed away using valuable space. Anyhow...
He found that the dust cover or cap came off the dolly axle. That let out all the grease. So now the bearings were heavily damaged. After pulling into an empty lot and using the tools John brought along and perhaps a few swear words, he was able to remove the wheel hub with the bearings. A helpful guy from the area stopped and gave us directions to a nearby Tractor Supply Company. John took the car to get parts. We were back on the road within 2-1/2 hours, which is pretty good for a roadside repair needing parts.
Now he's going to be insufferable about checking the vehicles and needing more tools!
