IN CT THE AXLE BROKE ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE WHEEL SHOT ACROSS 6 LANES OF HIGHWAY. FORTUNATELY NO ONE WAS HURT AND NO OTHER CARS WERE INVOLVED. IT'S TRUE THAT THE ROADS ARE NOT IN THE BEST OF CONDITIONS BUT THE TRAILER SHOULD BE ABLE TO HANDLE THE CONDITIONS OF I95. THE MANUFACTURER DID SEND US ANOTHER AXLE TO REPLACE THE DAMAGED ON BUT REFUSES TO PAY THE REPAIR AND THE LODGING COST. IT TOOK 9 DAYS TO RECEIVE THE AXLE AND HOTELS AVERAGE $100.
