Driving home today on my 2 hour commute, there was an older travel trailer pulled over with a flat. I turned around and headed back to them. Was a guy changing (I thought) a right rear tire in this tandem axle TT. I asked him if he as ok and needed anything. He barely made eye contact and continued to pull the tire off. I asked him if he needed a hand with the spare and he said he didn’t have one. I offered to take him to the next town and he smugly said no. Perhaps he was just irritated at the moment. Anyway, I drove away and stopped for fuel. As I left the gas station he goes flying by with tires of the remaining 3 spindles As I was approaching him, the TT was listing to the single tire side and some sway as he drove 65MPH (55MPH road) on the 3 wheels remaining. I passed him not wanting to be behind him when hell broke loose. As I was passing I saw that only thing remaining on the tireless axle was the spindle. Drum and brakes were long gone. Hope he made it wherever he was headed.
