AFFILIATE LINK DISCLOSURE: Friends, making a quality Loloho video is kind of like making sausage - only slightly more violent. It's a ridiculous amount of work that typically involves high dollar camera drops, blue-screen-of-death computer crashes, and at least one angry shotgun wielding old man shouting, “Hey! Get the hell outta here!” Once the final video is posted, rewards here on RUclips are few and far between (unless you are a masochist who enjoys being verbally abused by anonymous trolls). One saving grace is our affiliate links. JUST CLICKING THESE LINKS HELPS TO SUPPORT OUR LITTLE SHOW. Think of this clicking as like tipping - except that it doesn't cost you anything extra! If you eventually make a purchase via one of our affiliate links, we will receive a few pennies (and Sean typically invests these pennies in duct tape and video gear). Again, it doesn't cost you anything to click these links, and it's a great help to us. As always, safe travels, happy camping, and THANK YOU!
Did you check your other wheels just in case they forgot all the keepers? So glad you got it fixed before there was an accident! I love that you run across so many awesome people!
My thoughy too!!! Glad uou guys are safe!!
That's what I was thinking
Hi, Lola ! (((Hugs))) I think Vince was on the other side of the trailer in that end shot, so I'm guessing he checked them all.
Dittos to what the others have said.
.... driving keeperless ...!
We took delivery of our new Airstream on June 30th. Pick up was delayed by one week because the dealer called the day before we were supposed to pick it up because there was a recall on the Dexter axles. So, a week later the WASHERS/KEEPERS were put on our trailer and we were good to pick up. So, you need to contact Dexter.
Wow Vince was truly a God send. Right place right time. To take part of the monk tradition will be something you’ll never forget
We purchased a brand new Jayco 2015 5th wheel with dexter axles. The second trip we made I noticed the brake controller flashing and sending some code, pulled over to check things out. When I got to the passenger side I seen flames coming out of the hub. One fire extinguisher later, it was revealed that our axle bearings on the passenger side front axle malfunctioned. The worse part, Good Sam left us stranded on the side of the road in southwest Oklahoma and we had to limp to Duncan Oklahoma and abandoned our new 5th wheel at a tractor trailer repair center. The good news, Dexter stepped up and sent a new axle to Duncan OK and a few months later we went back to Duncan to pick it up.
Dexter... thank you.
Good Sam Road Side... never again.
Glad you saved your wheel🙂....my thoughts is if those axles were assembled during the "C" vid it was Dexter's inexperienced employees thus you received "C"VID AXLES 😞😞
Subscriber for many years... I think this is one of your best vids. Message of needing more kindness in today's world is timely and spot on. 👍
Honesty is always the best policy. Thank you.
I had a similar problem with my brand-new camper with Dexter axles. On both axles, the wheel nuts were not adjusted correctly on the left side of each axle from the factory and were almost as loose as yours. The bottom line is it ruined both axle spindles and had to be replaced. I don't trust the Dexter assembly line anymore and the only way to ensure they are correctly assembled is to inspect them yourself. I am so glad you were so fortunate that things worked out the way they did. Everyone is safe and meeting new friends along the way.
We had the opposite experience. We had our wheel bearings serviced and the RV shop tightened everything too tight. We were flagged down because Greece was flying out of one of our Wheels. The auto repair guy that came to help us checked and the wheel was so tight it would hardly turn so he checked all of them and they were all so tight that the tire would hardly spin. He readjusted everything so the wheels spun right repacked the one wheel with parts that he had brought and sent us on our way.
We had the same problem with our Dexter axle on the left side. We noticed excessive tire wear on that side. The RV dealer that helped us in Dexter, MO found the crown nut on that side loose and no cotter pin installed.
@Fred brandon Uhmmm...are you saying the shop should have DIS-assembled it before installing it? I don't think so -- after all, the axle was shipped "complete".
Correlation would be that we should take the engine apart on a new car to be sure the head gasket is not leaking.
@Fred brandon No need to attack and insult, thank you.
Agreed, all parts *should* be accounted for before assembly.
In this case, an axel assembly was supplied "complete" (not in parts) and installed as such.
That understood, in my opinion the owner should not have to pull the wheel off and take the axel apart which, as you recall, was the way they verified what was wrong.
@Fred brandon, the theme of the video was “kindness”. Let’s be encouraged by that message, and demonstrate kindness, sympathy, compassion in our words, both in our online comments and in our interactions with others in the real world. Safe travels. 🤘
This was my favorite episode guys. Kindness is beautiful
It a great pleasure meeting the both of you. I have long been a fan of the Long Long Honeymoon and it was watching your channel is what brought me to Gros Vente Campground.
When out of the corner of my eye I saw your truck drive by my site several times ( thinking naw, No way ) I knew it had to be you and yes, I drove over to your site to meet you.
Enjoyed your company and conversation. Hopefully our paths will cross again. Duke also wants some more never ending attention.
Till next time.
Safe travels and keep showing us the beautiful country that God has blessed us with.
The pleasure was all ours! Thanks again for all of your help. We enjoyed getting to know you (and Duke!), and look forward to seeing you both again soon. Safe travels! 🤙🏼
@Vince Botkin, @Kristy Michael Vince, thanks for coming to the rescue for Kristy & Sean, as well as the others you helped. Sometimes the guardian angels wear suspenders! Some commenters asked if the other axles were checked, but I noticed (at 19:47 of the video) that you were working on one of the other wheels. Thanks for being kind AND thorough!
Hey Vince! Thanks for being a standup guy! By any chance was the spring keeper inside the grease cap? I'm checking our single Dexter Axle on our 2020 E-Pro when I buy new tires before next trip!
@@kenthornton576
There was no keeper inside the cap.
It was MIA.
I checked both drums on the other side and the keeper was installed.
Couldn’t check the rear driver’s side though.
Told Sean to have the RV verify it was there.
The Airstream guy who installed the new axles just bolted them up and connected the brake wires. Now he’s going pop the caps and make sure all the parts are installed.
Nothing wrong with a goodwill story about sharing and human kindness! Love it
Such a good store of kindness ,something we all need to practice more of. It doesn't cost a thing to be kind to folks no matter were you are.
I have the same axles on my travel trailer, they arrive to me dry no lube. So sorry for your loss. Everybody knows the feeling and it plain stinks.
That is also why it is so important to purchase a 2 Axle trailer verses a single Axle trailer.
Exactly, everyone that asks me for advice on campers I always advise a two axle. Makes for a better straight line tow also. A three axle can add additional problems too!
Did you check the other 3 to make sure the keepers were ther?
You certainly won’t forget 2022. We are all so glad to see you have returned to your You-Tube channel, and we look forward to seeing your travels in 2023!
this one is hard to describe. I think "refreshing' might be the right word. Refreshing in every sense. This one is one of your best in my opinion. As always, safe travels.....
There are some great people out there willing to help! I have a teardrop camper and the lock on the back galley broke. I couldn't get the door open. A guy in the campsite came over one morning and asked if he could look at my camper. I said I could show him everything but the galley. Well, he was in a schoolie that he converted himself so he had all the tools and he offered to look at it. He had it fixed by the end of the day! He gave me a tour of his bus which was an amazing reno. I was so glad to meet him! I love your content!
Sorry for your loss but im glad yall are back. I really enjoy your journey. Only time will fix your wounds
Thank you very much for the reminder on kindness. We all know it, but many of us need reminders a lot more than we know!
We've been "full time" for about 4 1/2 years now, and have had the fortune of meeting nothing but wonderful, giving folks as we crisscrossed this beautiful country. Or maybe it's just that this lifestyle attracts awesome people like you all. Thank you for the videos and messages of hope & love... 😃❤🙏 OLT
What a wonderful video. Drama, kindness, world travels, and the big finish with the Solo stove. I love your storytelling! Thanks for sharing your trials and tribulations as well as the introspection. It's what makes your videos unique. Love you guys! Wishing you safe and memorable travels!!
Thank you so much. Honestly, I have been nervous about sharing this one. I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it. 🙏
"You are going to have issues, roll with it". Well said. Thank you.
Oh man your comments on Alms and giving were very moving. Thanks. You are wonderful people. 🇨🇦
You should contact Dexter Axle and don't be afraid to contact Adam Dexter (Adam Dexter, President & CEO) directly. This is a critical manufacturing defect where someone forgot to assemble & forgot to check for the presence of a critical component, the lock ring.
You need to have the other axle ends checked as well. Also, the axle with that defect needs to be replaced, as the spindle and bearing are compromised after having been exposed to this loose condition for an extended period of miles. You do not want to keep that axle, as the life of spindle and bearings have been seriously shortened !!!
Thank you for this very helpful comment! We are definitely going to contact Dexter, but I think contacting the CEO directly is a great idea! We were very fortunate that nothing serious happened as a result of this problem. I think we’re okay to make it home, but we will definitely want the affected axle to be replaced.
@@kristymichael Having worked in the Axle mfg. business for years in the US and Asia, I've also had interactions with Dexter and Adam Dexter. Dexter produces mostly axles for the RV market and they do not meet Automotive standards (barely ISO 9001 standards), which is concerning to me. This is a scary failure (could have caused a huge issue incl. injuries) and should be among others a wake-up call for Adam Dexter to improve quality in this company.
I kind of like your kindness and the kindness of the repair people. And the kind pastor who spoke of kindness We all know this universe needs all the kind it can get!!
Yes, if we don’t put the sorts of stories out there and advocate for kindness, no one will.
What's up guys, getting my new Champion Dual Fuel 4650 in the morning, you guys did a Great review the new Genny, Thanks and travel safe, Brian
Glad you guys stayed safe. I've heard it said that coincidences are but small miracles in which God chooses to remain anonymous.
Glad to see that you're back on the road and not all over the road.
I love the blending of the stories and messages. helpful knowledge for the road and life. long live LOLOHO.
So nice to see kindness all over the world!
Best RV channel on thr net!
Last year I finally visited the Chapel of the Transfiguration and loved the place. As I entered and sat down for a few minutes, I noticed that all visitors were very reverent. It is a very peaceful and quiet place. Except for the squeaky floors and the outside door slamming shut when people wouldn't hold it as it closed. So glad you fixed the trailer issue before something bad happened. Campers are the best people around and you just proved it.
The more we stay off social media, the more we rediscover how much kindness there is in people. Thanks for the stories.
I see more more stuff like this every day. As somebody who does all his own mechanical work I took my truck into the dealership under warranty for a simple tire rotation. I told the technician to torque the wheels to a 140 ft-lbs and what does he do, torques it to 220 ft-lbs. That very action could cause the wheel to come off or stretch the wheel studs. I immediately corrected the problem with my own torque wrench but I shouldn't have to do that. Double check everything that is done to your vehicle after it leaves the service bay, glad everything worked out for you folks.
Missed y’all the past couple months! You are the longest running RV show on RUclips AND the best. Thank you!
Thanks Todd, you are too kind. This was a tough year for us (we lost Kristy's mother... not to mention our beloved Baby Girl). Thanks for sticking with us. We will be back!
So grateful that you share such important information with us. But equally important is how you put the humanity or values of life in your podcast. It is great that you share this as most RUclipsrs talk nothing about it. Thank you very much for putting Faith back into RUclips presentations.
Thanks. Doing so will probably get me shadowbanned on RUclips. People stay silent because they are afraid of the repercussions. Anyway, I appreciate your kind comments. 🙏
.....and this is why we love this channel!
A wonderful message, where kindness averted a disaster. Thank you for sharing this story and God Bless.
Yes the manufacturer can drop the ball
Travel experience segments like this are your forte! Re: checking everything: A few years back I picked up our FC23 Airstream from the dealer after a brake and bearing inspection, and immediately hit the highway. Upon pulling into a campground that evening, a fellow chased us down shouting “your wheel is falling off”. Sure enough, three lugnuts on that wheel were missing and the remaining two were very loose. Checking the other three wheels, all lugnuts were drastically under-torqued. That wheel and tire were ruined, but fortunately it hadn’t separated on the highway. Lesson learned, trust no service - check everything yourself.
@Fred brandon wow! I know that was frustrating (and a bit scary too). Glad you at least got through it and back home safely.
@Fred brandon When I was 12, my father threw some eggshell foam and blankets in the back of a Chevy work van, and we took a family trip down to South Florida. My sister and I rode in the bank the whole way down, just stretched out on the floor (no seat... no seatbelts... no safety measures whatsoever). We still reminisce and laugh about it in hindsight. Thank goodness we survived the 80s.. 😂
LOL in high school my car had a 260 model air conditioner also.
Glad you're all safe! I know I'm due new axkes(42 yes old) but new bearings 4yrs ago. I check mine every spring. Stay safe both of you.
Thank God the wheel didn't fly off and hurt anyone. It's awesome the right friend came your way.🙂👍
Yikes, so happy you found this before it caused an accident. Also thank you for sharing. As a kid traveling with my dad, pulling his trailer. We lost a wheel. It was so scary. Luckily my dad held it in the road and was able to pull over before it tipped over.
God was with you for sure 🙏💕
Thanks for the wonderful story of kindness and thank you Vince for leading the way and helping our favorite travelers out. ❤
What happened is that someone at the factory forgot to install that keeper on the nut. As you found out an extremely serious oversight. I would send my repair bill to Dexter as I'm pretty sure they have a warranty on their axles. As the commeneter below me said I would check all of the other axles. I also hope you changed the bearings on that axle where the nut was loose. It is also a very good idea to carry an extra wheel bearing set, complete with nut and keeper and a jar of grease with you. The job is easy if you have the parts. They can be very difficult to find on the road at times. Keep the good stuff coming guys.
We have been incredibly lucky to get great RV service on the road when traveling. We were packing up from a stay in Carrabelle, Fl to travel to Gulf Shores Alabama when we realized that we had a leak coming from our black tank. (oh! that's where that smell is coming from!) I contacted an RV repair place in Foley, Alabama and asked if we could stop by on our way to Gulf Shores for them to take a look at it. They said sure stop by but probably couldn't take it for repair for several days. I was resigned to the likelihood that we would have to stay in a hotel until we could get the repair. We stopped by, they found the leak and took pity on us realizing that we were a long way from home (Massachusetts). They immediately repaired it for us at a very reasonable fee and just 2 hours later we were back on the road to Gulf Shores. KINDNESS plus great service! I have other stories but just wanted to share this one. We have always been able to get help from somewhere when needed!
Was any of the others missing their keeper as well? Glad you caught it when you did!
While I’m a bit late to the dance, I hope you checked every like assembly for a similar issue and at minimum repacked and/or replaced all the bearings inside and out in every assembly. Grease is cheaper than steel. Can’t use too much clean and OEM specified grease. Never believe everything you hear about new and improved stuff - remember, “NEW” means “NEVER EVER WORKED”.
Oh, your channel remains top shelf. Best to you both and safe trails.
A good lesson for all of us.....here in the U.S. and also abroad.
Glad to see you out. Know it’s been a tough year for loloho . Really appreciate you still entertaining and teaching us. Wishing you happy camping 🏕️
I hope you are going to check the other three. They could be missing the keepers as well.
Damn, when I saw the wobble I screamed cutter pin missing! King bolt loose, I do my own maintenance grease my axles and such, hope I never face that situation, glad it turned out great and no harm to anyone, thanks for the video, Cheers!
We have and need more Vince's in the world. Thank you and God bless you.
👍Great video guys!...quick story about my Dexter axles on my 2019 Spinter purchased October 2020. Spent 6 weeks in Arkansas spring of 2021. At Jonesboro Ark. Campground the owner told me he heard one of my wheels clicking on the driver's side while backing in. I knew this was going to be a brake shoe issue while backing up. So I decided to check it back at home the next few days.
......Folks, you just cant trust anything new......this wheel had so much grease pumped into it causing the rear seal to blow...ruining, compromising my brake pads.
Decided to check all wheels which two of the three had to much grease also.
.....Hand packed all bearings after a throughly cleaning out all the other grease in order to use a different grease and replaced the brakes on blown seal with a new backplate assembly from Redline.
That’s for a great video. You brought out the best of why we RV. Yes, there are challenges, but also moments of great goodness. It reminded me of Diana Krall singing Narrow Daylight when she asks “Is the kindness we count on hidden in everyone?”
Your trials and tribulations are just another facet of the ‘diamond’ that makes LOLO so special to us. I’m sure Dexter axles will be tightening up their quality control.
So glad you safely had the problem fix, without any significant damage to your Airstream or anyone else.
This Sunday morning, a Trailer turned over on the highway that goes through our town, blocking the highway.
Not sure what caused the accident or if anyone was injured. It can happen so easy.
Safe travels!
Thank goodness you guys are safe.
Vince is the man!
Sorry, im glade it didnt fall off going down the road. Have a blessed week, happy trails
Welcome to my neck of the woods! I've had nothing but help and kindness from the campers around me at Gros Ventre. Every time I back into my site, people pop up to help me in. I'm frequently a solo traveler and I know my fellow campers are watching out for me.
Now that you are on the B-T, Melvin Brewery is calling🍻
Now it seems as if you cannot buy correctly assembled expensive parts. Glad all worked out. Glad you are safe.
This reminded me of a caller on one of the Car Talk CDs. He was an old guy from LA (Lower Alabama) whose wheel fell off. The guys asked how long it had been making a screeching noise and he admitted that he didn't hear too well. 😄
Wow ! You are so blessed to have gotten that problem fixed before something horrific happened. There's something to be said about guys named Vinnie and Vince who work on RV's. Good for all of us to make note of that. 😉 So glad you are all fine and dandy. Interesting about Laos and the monks.
Thanks for info, so glad to hear nothing happen and to see such kindness in the world we live in today.
Just got one of my Dexter axles replaced under warranty due to severe uneven tire wear after only 12k miles. They (Dexter) paid for two new Goodyear Endurance tires. Nice video and a great message!
This installment embodies everything that is good in the world and is why I follow your channel.
A common theme from Dexter. I had two trailers, ATC toyhauler's have the backing plates come free and take out the brakes and blow the rear bearing seal out. Still happens from time to time. This was pre covid so no excuse about that being the problem. It is still happening though. Mostly the 5200lb axles. Luckily I'm a mechanic and was able to fix it on the road after procuring the parts. Glad you caught it before the wheel came free.
THANK YOU for sharing. I travel alone in a 2003 Northwoods Nash and your video has been very informative. I have visited the Chapel of the Transfiguration several times. Such a peaceful & beautiful area.
Holy cats. Glad that turned out ok. Do you need to check the other ones?
We got lucky that our entire hitch didn’t fall off after losing all the carriage bolts on one side of the hitch in Kentucky. So glad we didn’t lose the whole thing and it didn’t cause an accident, or injury. (And we weren’t using the hitch at the time.)
Now we tell everyone to check the torque on the carriage bolts. Hitch was new, never used.
With you on the unique cultural experiences. ❤
Sorry to hear of your axle troubles it sure doesn't surprise me now that LCI owns Dexter. FWIW I had new drums & brakes installed on my triple axle 18k# 40TH after purchasing used from a large reputable multi location RV Drlr and drove over 100 miles and Cajun pass getting home. I decided to check the brake drag by jacking each wheel and spinning tires and was shocked to find the middle axles having excessive rocking side to side found hub retainer nut saftied with 1\4" excessive play I pulled the wheel and inspected the spindle, bearings, and races which appeared unscathed luckily most of the trip did not involve sharp turns. Needless to say the Service Mngr got a hot call and was very concerned with possible liabilities his workers had created. I always double check after having something repaired if I don't do the work myself but at 70yr young it takes alot longer and sometimes we have insufficient time. Stay Healthy Sean and Christy, enjoy your travels. LoLoHo
Wow! Glad you got it fixed before more damage happened! I hope the other ones were checked also?
Thank God for people like Vince. It must be so rewarding to have skills to be able to help people out.
Good to see ya'll back... We miss your weekly videos.
Love the opening shots from your trip.
The moral of the story is to inspect them all. It sounds like it's just the trailer industry thru in thru. I hoped he checked checked the other 3 axel bearings. And I agree with the kind people theory. You two are wonderful people ❤️.
Well said Sean. If you're kind, helpful and assume people are generally good then you might just have a more fulfilling walk through life. That's been my experience anyway. So glad you got that axle issue resolved. Whew!
Well put Brian, that is where I want to live too!
I repack my own bearings on my camper. If I can do the work I do it myself. Just don't trust work will always be done correctly. Glad you caught it before something bad happened. I hope you get in touch with Dexter to let them know what happened. You guys are a reason I travel over our country. Thanks for all you post. You need to get back to Alabama before it gets too cold out there.
Wow! So glad you encountered the kindness of Dr. RV!
I'm glad you resolved the bearing issue. I saw at the end on the video Vince was checking the other side. I hope you contacted Dexter about the issue. Thank you for mixing a bit of Buddhism along with the sweatshirt. Kindness was a good message.
The same thing happened to us while towing our 2019 Cougar, only our wheel actually did come off while traveling through Ogden, UT. Same axle-Dexter. The castle nut keeper was not installed and over time the castle nut backed off and there went the wheel. Fortunately we were very close to an RV dealer and we were able to get the parts within a couple of days and there was no damage to the axle. Keystone covered the repair/replacement under warranty. The service department at the dealership checked the other wheels and they all had the keeper secured to the castle nut.
We were there within days of you.
OMG 😳 your bearing experience was a different kind of adventure than the one you were anticipating. We’re so glad you were in the right place, meeting the right person, at the right time.
Glad you caught it in time and y'all are safe!
Just had an Dexter axel replaced and will check , thanks for putting this out there..
Thank you again for sharing.
We had a car dealership and repair shop, and we ALWAYS checked out new parts, sub-assemblies, and of course, did pre-delivery inspections on complete new vehicles.
Most factories are reliable, but occasionally things get missed. The most common is fluid levels: gear/transmission oil, differential oil, engine oil, hydraulic fluid, radiator coolant, and so on.
But also there have been missing coil springs or shocks, not properly secured exhaust systems, nuts; bolts and lock-washers missing, etc, etc.
I am so glad you are both safe. We went on a 60 day 9600 mile. We met so many nice people. I am assuming Vinnie checked the rest of the wheels for you.
Hope to see you on the road some day.
Kindness. Thank you for those experiences.
At the AS International rally the Dexter rep told us that Airstream has about 150 different axle combinations. It is critical to check serial numbers, etc. For example our trailer has 5k# axles and 6k# hubs with never-lub bearings.
Glad y’all diagnosed your Airstream’s issue with the kindness from others.
Half my family is from Thailand…and coincidentally we were camping @ Gros Ventre this past September.
So, this video is so relevant/personal for me.
Safe journeys ahead!
Awesome! We are likely headed back to Thailand in the coming year. Stay tuned for more updates from the Land of a Thousand Smiles. 😁
@@LongLongHoneymoon BTW: We’re sadden by reading about the loss of your Mom (and your little dog). We experienced both ourselves last year.
On a happier note, may you both enjoy the holidays and the upcoming New Year!
@@dogzdad123 thank you. 🙏Yes, it was a hard year to say the least. Hopefully happier days lie ahead. Happy New Year to you, too.
Glad you are safe and sound from this experience.
Hi guys - Thanks for sharing all your experiences good & bad. So glad you listened to the noise your trailer was making. So many would have wanted to wait until they were in a bigger place to have it checked out. Vince was a great guy to tun into. You not only saved having an accident down the road, by sharing I’m sure many more accidents have been avoided. Missed you guys while you were on your world tour. Continued safe travels 😊❤️🇺🇸
Thanks for the heads up! So glad you guys caught that without incident.
Inspirational video for sure. Thanks for the positive messages!! Also sending my condolences to Kristy. 🙏
Great video! I’m so glad you added your trip overseas to this video. I so enjoyed your IG videos this summer! So happy you’re both safe.
Wow. What a scary situation regarding the keeper axle problem. It does look like Vince checked all the other wheels too, good. Wasn’t it divine help that you had folks right there being so kind to you.
That's scary. Glad yall noticed it and your ok
Great video & words of wisdom, thank you
bless you guys and the more powerful are watching over you for sure! So many "coincedences" I think can also fall under types of miracles. Keep bringing us hope in this world.
