I purchased a new 2009 Gulf Stream Trailmaster 380FRS Travel Trailer in May from FunTime RV in Cleburne, Texas. On August 22 while i was traveling down the freeway with my wife and grandbaby, we were returning home from camping at a local lake, I saw the right rear wheel and hub come off my travel trailer and cross the freeway behind and luckily it layed down in the center median without hitting anyone. As i pulled of the freeway to a safe area i went back and inspected my travel trailer to see what happened, i observed that the outer bearing was gone and the reminants of the inner bearing was hanging on the axle along with the spindle nut that was chewed up, there was alot of grease on the spindle and brakes shoes and springs and inside the hub, there was no grease on the outside of the backing plate, hub or inside the wheel well area of the trailer. This is consistant to a wheel bearing failure and not a seal failure.
