Nightmare trip

Ever have one of those trips you wish you could just forget? We planned a three week trip to Seattle stopping along the way to see the sights. First week went okay although we had some rain and wind. Beginning of the second week we get to Seattle. The second day there my wife and I get covid. Spent a week isolated feeling like crap in the camper. Asked if we could extend our time at the campground we were at, but was told they couldn't. Had to drive feeling like crap 350 miles to our next site. My wife and I have been so careful with covid over the years. Had all our shots, always masked and here we get it on our trip.
We had one good day in Polson Montana. Then on the way home we lose a complete tire/hub everything.
Yes, I had the wheel bearings done in 2020, and this was our first trip since the wheel bearing service. I have every intention to talk to this service department, but don't expect much of a response.
Right now my RW is still in Wyoming awaiting an axle replacement. I'll have a 500 mile round trip to pick it up when they finish it. I will still have the body work to get done once I get it back.
Never found the lost tire. Anyone know where I can get the matching rim from?
Thanks

I guess nightmare trip. Sorry to hear that. I would contact Hispec or Tredit Tire in Elkhart, IN. They supply most tires and rims for the industry here in Elkhart county. Hoping you find your matching rim.

Not sure who Redwood is using now, but we needed a replacement warranty rim and went thru Lions Head similar type company as Tredit.
