Most recent Update from Don & Peggy:  (Guess if ur stuck somewhere waiting on an axle and replacement, Nova Scotia, would work pretty well.  We wish them safe journeys home and it sounds like they may have found a resolution to their long term issue.)

Had Cape Breton Trailer Sales replace the bent axle, and they reported poorly welded alignment when we had the camper lifted with 2" square tubing by a general welding shop (when the deeper truck bed on new tow vehicle would not accommodate the removable 5th wheel removable and extended height ball that I wanted for useful bed space when not trailering).  Additionally, the middle of axle was also welded to the camper frame, which they said was a no-no, as it makes the ride too firm.  Hope this insight will help some other unwary owner, who is trying to save a buck (the less skilled repair can cost much more than you save).

Let me sound the praises of Cape Breton Trailer Sales.  Not only were we treated tremendously better than any previous contacts in the Cape Breton (Nova Scotia) when we sought help, they were the best for pricing, including a significant saving on the replacement tires.  Time will tell how good the repair is, but we parted friends of this company, and intend to use them again whenever needed.
