Wheel lockup
After turning onto the gravel road which led to the campground, the left wheel locked up. Backed up, did no good. Unplugged the connector, no help. Finally dragged it to the CG which was less that a quarter mile down the road. Put a heck of a furrow in the road.
Repair person found the whole wheel to be tight - couldn't turn it. He went to the breakaway switch, wiggled it and the wheel freed up. Both shoes were loose and the adjuster was in several pieces. Springs were broken. The tire was ruined.
No agreement that the breakaway switch was at fault. If it was the problem, why did it affect only the one side? Local AS dealer hasn't a clue. Any ideas? Could broken springs have been the cause?
New shoes, adjuster, and springs made it good as new. Will have the other side checked this week.
