I have a major MH axel refurbisher close to me. They collect MH axles and send them back to MH manufacturers. At least 500 per week. Never have been there and not seen a 18 wheeler load pulling out. So if they are one time use how does this guy employ 15 people or so collecting them and sending them back to be used again. He has new MH tires with new rims G load with DOT highway use stamped on them for 50.00 bucks per tire. One time used are 45.00. I have used them for 20 plus years and never had a problem. I believe the whole thing is set up to keep trailer builders aweigh from MH axles.

Might be but being in the trailer repair business we have 3 rules. NO DAYTON style hubs, no Mobile Home Axles, and no Bias tires. If it fits into any three of those categories I pass on the work and will not tow the trailer. Not worth the hassle or liability.
