First off, Smiles 5160 deserves the patient Dad of the year award for dealing with this in the campground on vacation, with the slides out and unit leveled for the comfort of his wife and kids.
We also had to have our bearings and brakes replaced. Same Lippert axle within the first 1,000 miles. We were told the manufacturer expects a certain percentage of failures. I'd personally like to get their numbers just to see how many families they inconvenience due to poor quality standards that they think are acceptable. According to RVIA the industry shipped over 344,000 towable units in 2016. So let's say the acceptable fail rate is 1% (i have no idea what the number really is). That to me seems like a pretty low number. But for the nearly 3500 of us sitting under new trailer making on-the-road repairs it's a huge pain in the OL Tookas!
