I just jacked up and blocked up my rear to get wheels off ground. Plan was to spin , listen and etc . I hope to prepare for a overnighter in 4 weeks that will be approx 30 miles from home.
Plan is to spin wheels and listen, then have wife hit brake with engine running and for me to feel brakes grab and let go.
with out wife here , so with out engine running
One rear wheel, when I turn it not using much effort it will rotate approx 3 complete rotations. Happy Happy

The other 3, one of which I did wheel bearings and pads on last year , they will rotate approx 1 and a half turns , with lots of effort I can get almost 2 complete turns out of.

Is there any easy way to determine if brake issue or bearing issue?
What should be considered normal inregards to wheel spinning ?
Coach has sat for atleast 8 months, soi understand a little brake rub can be normal.
Could it be that my 3 are normal, and the one that is freeer is the actual one need ing attention?
Any and all input is appreciated, if this trip goes bad, wife may never try again after last trip.
And thanks to every one here, site is a god send
