    Yikes ! Any damage to the RV ? Looks like the drum never hit the "ground." A number of folks have posted about losing a wheel over the years and never were able to find the wheel/tire that came off. Good find for you !

    5 miles on the front curb side RV tires carrying all the weight may be an area of concern. It may be something to consider replacing that tire with the spare or a new tire just in case that unseen damage occurred. Do not want that to bight you later after going through this. Will be interesting to get other folks feedback on this.

    Did the TPMS give any kind of alert when it lost the signal?

    Funny you ask that. No it didn't. It may be because one of my sensors on another tire is already showing bad and I have the integrated Ford system. That was top on my todo list when I got home. Obviously its not now. Only damage was the plastic trim.

    As for the tire, it is a brand new Sailun. It seems to be just fine so I'm going to run with it. I have ordered a whole hub from eTrailer though. I may have just gotten away with new studs but for $140 the piece of mind is worth it. Plus, the thought of sitting in the frigid temps pounding out lugs from the old hub didn't sit well with me. I have it parked at a truck stop. Already had to winterize it in the parking lot before I left. It was 13 degrees and the lines were already beginning to freeze. Guess I should've winterized before I left the campground in Florida. Another lesson learned. All worked out though. Got all the lines to pee pink.

    I am going to think twice before going camping in February again. When things go wrong, the cold makes it twice as bad. Reminded me of working construction in my youth.
