That's not good, if the bearing piled up that bad Its lucky it didn't start a fire and loose your coach or worse.
Unless these axles have replacable spindles it might be easiest and cheapest to change the whole axle.
I have machined out spindles on big truck diffs, shrink fitted and welded in a new one, only if the housing was too expensive or not available. This can be done with a line boring rig or a very large lathe. I wouldnt try welding on the bearing surfaces themselves.
