We left Lucinda at 9am Sunday morning to go to Townsville for a few days before heading over to the west coast, we were about half way there and needed to stop, Mick checked the tyres as you do and one of the van tyres was red hot, thank God for the NRMA, we made the call and 3 hours later this was the end result!
As we are premium care members the tow was included in our membership, otherwise it would have cost us over $500!!
It is really sad to be driving along and see your van through the front windscreen, we got he van put off the truck about 150 mtrs away from our Caravan Park and got it on site. We were lucky a mobile mechanic came and looked at it on Monday, the bearing was non existant, even thought we had all this checked before leaving home and asked for all the bearing to be replaced!
We ended up having all the wheel bearings changed and one had to get the brake drum replaced as well as it was cracked!! Guess we were lucky it happened here and not half way across the middle of Australia.
