It is possible that the trailer is at the maximum, but I doubt that the entire model line is overweight. Yours is the first 300MP that we've had reports of failed bearings. Certainly, I'm not trying to minimize your problem, I know it's frustrating and shouldn't be happening, but I wouldn't think that it's a "every 300MP issue" or we'd be hearing from other members as well, and that's not the situation.... The newer models are constructed with triple axles, but even then, "all" or "most" of the older tandem axle models are functioning without the problems you have, so it doesn't appear that it's a "model wide problem" that's related to only having two axles.....
I'm still of the opinion that you've got either a damaged spindle or a faulty hub and that component is what's causing all of your problems. Maybe it was installed incorrectly, maybe it was faulty from the manufacturer, maybe it got damaged by hitting a curb or pothole, or maybe it is just "messed up for no reason"....
Until you isolate the two possibilities (hub and spindle) and see which one fails at the next problem, you won't know which it is. The only alternative would be to have a new spindle installed on the axle, buy a new hub/brake assembly and start from scratch.
I know it's not much encouragement, but hang in there, it's a frustrating issue, but there is a solution.
