Of course I know the posted weight as stated by the factory. No need for paranoia, but a little fear is healthy. :-) Just make certain your tires are in good shape and properly inflated before you depart (this also goes for your tow vehicle, if you have one). It was indeed the axle.

I've been reading a lot about tires and watching the videos from RVeducation101.com (they're quite good for us newbies) and he says tire failure is often from an overloaded, or unevenly loaded RV. So now I'm paranoid about this and am curious - have you weighed your trailer? not just the whole thing, but each side and each tire load? I found these articles on it, maybe it will help http://www.rvuniversity.com/article.php/20070729094720572?query=firestone http://www.trucktires.com/bridgestone/us_eng/press/zip/RV_Brochure.pdf I’m eager to know what happened? was it the axel?

You didn't say how fast you were going when you hit the curb...obviously it was an accident when you hit the curb but, it's just something you don't want to incurr with any speed. Probably going to have to replace it, anxious to hear what was wrong.. Enjoy reading your blog, we have 25' FB 2005...

We are at an Airstream dealership now. We're going to have a couple of items checked tomorrow, including the wheel and axle. I suspect the problem is the axle, but am hoping it's just a wheel that's badly out of round. Stay tuned! Thanks Jack… We are at an Airstream dealership now.
