We finished the Carolina Renfaire, and on the way back to visit my sister in St Marys, GA, the rear axle bearing on our Jeep Cherokee let go, and the rear wheel on the passenger side caught fire!  Thankfully, there was a GA DOT guy behind us that helped me gut the brake drum and milk us down to my sister's house.  There, I replaced all the bearings, and the axle, etc.  Then, we left to go on our trip out west, and some box truck driver hit the carrier on the back of our tow vehicle that holds my KLR 650 motorcycle...and we were again blessed that a local motorcycle shop had a carrier in stock, and in less than 24 hours we were back on the road again.  And then we were driving out on I-10, and the rear driveshaft on the RV bit the dust, even though I just greased it!  So we are in a campground that we got towed to (225 bucks...the tow guy was very kind).  There is a drive shaft company 33 miles away, so I will bring them ALL the drive shafts on Monday morning to assess and repair them as necessary.  This seems to be the year of shite failing, even though I maintain the heck out of my vehicles!!!
