    Single Axle TH hauling ATV?

    Considering a single axle toy hauler (Forest River Wildwood X-Lite, 3,000 lb dry weight) with intent to haul a 4 wheeler (not yet purchased, possibly 500lbs?) but I'm concerned concentrating that much weight behind the single axle will not be a good setup in that kind of trailer, bad for weight...

I pointed out the wear to Sprads RV in Reno on my first service but the service manager said it was normal. When...

    Axle Lubing

    We purchased a used Cherokee 274VFK. I saw on a youtube that you should lub the trailer axles every 1,000 miles. That seems to frequent? What do other do? Thanks

    We brought home our Apex 249rbs on the 18th of Nov. I was going to put the MorRyde cre/3000 system on our camper. They make them for 33" or 35" center to center axle spacing. My axles measures 31". Does anyone know why coachmen would do a 31" axle spacing. Does anyone know of another system that...

    Axle Problems

    We've had 3 severe blowouts in 7 months on our 2012 F.R. Rockwood Windjammer, all on the passenger side. Was told by F.R. our unit is NOT included in their recall addressing this problem. The problem is not enough clearance between the tires & RV floor. Would a lift kit work? Could axles be...

    Brakes tandem axles

    I have owned this Salem Cruise-Lite 241 QBXL for over a month and I’m concerned about the braking action. When coming to a stop the brakes grab/release, grab/release several times before coming to a complete stop. I have a Prodigy 2 controller and find it really difficult to adjust it so that...

    Due to the terrible squeaking from my suspension I was considering installing LCI's Equa-Flex Cushioned Equalizers and their Never Fail Bushing kit. I crawled under my unit to see what weight axles I had and I noticed my springs are flat.(see pictures) I have less than 3000 miles on my rig (my...

    Torsion Axle Adjustment - Also, Lifting Trailer

    I've searched the archives, and I didn't see an answer to my first question. Question 1: I climbed under the trailer to grease the cable mechanism, and I noticed the front, adjustable mount for my torsion axle seems to have slipped about 1/4" to 3/8". One side is "sagged" slightly more than...

    TPMS Needed For Single Axle Trailer?

    For those using tire pressure monitoring systems (TPMS) in this forum, TST507 seems be the favorite, but it's 22 wheel capability and price seems way overkill for my itty bitty single axle 19' Clipper. My question is, does a single axle (2 wheel) trailer actually need a TMPS? I can...

    Torsion Axles Failed? 2011 Surveyor SV-264

    This past summer I purchased a used 2011 Surveyor SV-264 from a local dealer. While on the road I noticed the wheels looked funny. I am not familiar with torsion axles but thought it may have been just a result of the independent suspension and uneven ground at the time. Now I have it on level...

    Wanted everyone to know about what happened to me so that you can check your camper's axles. We were setting up our camper a couple of weeks ago and I noticed that the left wheels were too close together. When I looked under the camper to see why I noticed that one of the axle brackets were...

    Mini-Lite axle capacity

    All, I'm shopping for a 2507S or (Flagstaff Micro-Lite) 25BDS. I've seen weight stickers for some models online which are virtually the same in terms of options but differ in terms of axle rating.

    Adding 3rd Axle?

    Has anyone added a third axle to their Cedar Creek 5th wheel? Anyone know if it can even be done? Looking into possibly putting a Hydralift motorcycle lift to the back of a Champagne, would need a 3rd axle I'm sure, but don't know if it could be done with placement of the lippert jack? Just...
