THE DEALER WHERE HE PURCHASED TRAILER (BLUE DOG RV IN REDMOND OREGON) TOLD HIM REFLECTIONS WITH THIS PROBLEM IS BECAUSE THE WRONG SIZE BEARINGS WERE USED. MY TRAILER NOW HAS 5800 MILES. I'VE SENT ON PICTURES TO BOTH DEALER AND MANUFACTURE. MARK ARPIN TOLD ME NO ISSUES OF IMPROPER BEARING EXISTS. IF SO WHY WOULD BLUE DOG SAY DIFFERENT? COULD THIS TURN INTO A HAZARD OR SAFETY CONCERN?
