We took our first long trip in the 1983 30TD - from D.C. to Barboursville
and Gordonsville in the Blue Ridge Piedmont country of Virginia.  We drove
along country lanes and charming little untouched towns, viewing miles of
lovely open spaces.  We visited James Madison's estate - Montpelier - which
was recently restored and now open to the public.  Well worth the $14
admission charge.  What was most interesting to me was the amount of work
they had to do to DEconsruct the mega-additions that the DuPont family had
put on the original house.  Marion DuPont died without heirs, and willed
 the property to the National Trust for Historic Preservation.  Two decades
and multiple millions of $$ later, it is now another back  to its original
1850 configuration and a Monticello -like attraction (Jefferson's estate).
En route, everything worked well with the TD except I was concerned by noise
that MAY indicate worn bearings.  Can someone please describe the audible
(or other) symptoms of worn front wheel bearings? I haven't had a problem
with worn bearings for 20 years so have forgotten what the symptoms are.
