Please help us understand our situation. We're relatively new to RV'ng and purchased a 2003 Cougar 26' in January in good shape. Been out just a couple of times and all working well. Well, until this last trip. Coming back the driver side rear bearing basically disintegrated/melted and tore up the axle threads. Divinely right next to a truck repair facility. Go figure! They helped me assess it needs a new axle assembly.
First, we learned/found out I cannot have a 5vr towed. We contacted every big rig tow company within 200 miles.. no luck. Were we foolish in getting the AAA RV towing add on to our auto??? Cannot be towed?
Second, found out no one carries an axle/assembly for this unit. The truck repair mechanic graciously took it off and I carted it 60 miles to an RV repair center. They couldn't find one so they ordered from ALKO, the original Keystone manufacturer. Does this scenario sound reasonable to you or am I just too new & unskilled to comprehend the situation?? Counsel, advice, consoling
is appreciated. Thanks
