Before anyone says we have overloaded the TT, it has been on the scales fully loaded for 5 and 6 week trips which are 4 to 6K trips. TT is a 2017 Bullet.



That happened to me on the road before hitting our first campsite, 10 days in Ohio and $1200 later. I won't even put grease in my bearings through the bearing buddy. Uncle was a GMC mechanic for years and says they're garbage.
