Description of the problem	In ardmore, oklahoma when we stopped for fuel it was brought to our attention by another motorist that grease was leaking from all four hubs of the two axles on our 5th wheel. After staying in ardmore for two days and not being able to get the repairs we needed we had to drive to a service facility in denton, tx where it was determined the brakes were burned off of all four wheels and this had caused the axles to overheat and forced all the grease out of the hubs and it had burned off all the brake wiring as well. After parts were obtained from dallas, tx the brakes shoes were all replaced, new brake wiring installed and axels repacked. We realized at this time we had driven this vehicle an additional 66 miles with no brakes. This was very disconcerting to say the least. In august, 2013 we delivered the damaged parts to the forest river factory representative when we attended the frog rally in in. Rockwood unit model#: 8289ws purchased 3/13/12 date of manufacture: 12. 14. 2011 this is incident #1 of 5 on this vehicle. We will be posting all 5 incidents.
