Guy,
The problem was not a broken axle. It was a lack of differential oil in the diff. The differential came apart on the inside. When the tow truck guy pulled the axle, no oil came out. Apparently there was no oil at all in the diff.
I have deep suspicions as to how that happened but lets just say...that while I owned the coach, there was never any drips or puddles of diff oil under or near the coach.
Newell has now added a check on their PM to check the level of the diff oil.
