   I need to ventilate. 
I am thankful to be alive. 

I am thankful that the axle repair to get me back travelling was under $400.

I am thankful that the only damage resulting from the axle falling off my R-Pod was a few screws pulling out of the fender and a little scraping on the Keder rail.

The frustrating thing is that Forest River refuses to consider that the cause of the axle falling off could possibly be anything other than improper maintenance of the hanger bolts.  I have told them the L-shaped metal plate broke off between the weld and the bolts - Doesn't matter. Then, I have pictures showing the bolts rusted in, immobile - Doesn't matter.

"As, previously stated, you are more than welcome to send those photos to me if you wish but Forest River will not be contributing toward any repairs."

Their only concern is to make sure they aren't asked to pay for repairs - which I haven't done, anyway. 

Thanks for listening, I feel better now.
