axle

I know this has been discussed several times, but not by me and I just want to share the importance of developing some road routines. I bought my 2015 Rockwood Mini Lite new from a dealer and have had about 10k miles of happy memories with it. My problematic issues have been minimum, all...

Hi folks. My fifth wheel drags butt coming out of the yard (dip) but also gets down onto the tailgate/bed rails of the truck when I am backing it in. Granted-my parking area has a hill between it and the road, AND the truck is a 4 x 4. Was considering having someone grade the yard, but it would...

Hi guys, I'm new to the forum and about to buy a 180 rpod hood river edition. I have a couple family members who own rpods already so I have a good understanding of them, except for the axles. When looking at them, the weight stickers all seem to be around 3000 lbs and I understand they have...

We have a 2015 CruiseLite 195BH. We generally love the camper, but I noticed when I pulled away last time that the rv was a good 2" low on the curbside. I've taken it in to be checked out, and the axle is bent. I've never had the camper drop more than 3-4" (off/onto a curb before we had...

We just bought a Windjammer 3006WK and I noticed that the axles are very close together. When I tried to use my between the wheels tire chocks they would not fit. Is there a expandable tire chock that works with these trailers?

It appears that the sealed bearings on my 2009 Cedar Creek or no longer available so in order to put new brake pad on my RV I have to buy new axles pads and bearings is anyone else having this problem

So, I just got done saying how we haven't had any issues that have kept us off the road and then of course it happens. Man did I jinx myself. I had a brake failure, where it shorted to ground, OK, that isn't that big a deal. The issue is when I was ohm'ing things out with the DVM I looked up and...

We took a 5 day trip across the Ohio Turnpike over to the Indiana Turnpike, and then north into the west shore of Michigan. The turnpike roads were absolutely horrible - especially all the thousands of breaks in the pavement as our dual-axle launched over them. I dropped my tire pressures from...

Does the 2018 Cedar Creek Champagne have easy lune axles?

Ok, guys (or girls!) ... how often do you grease your Dexter EZ Lube axles? I have a 2016 Rockwood Mini Lite 2506S that I've had for about 1 year. We camp mostly local so probably has less than 3000 miles on it. The Dexter manual says to Lube it yearly, I think. So I called my camper dealer...

Palomino 132RD axle & tire off center. Tire rubs I hope someone can help with this. A couple of weeks ago I bought a 2014 Palomino 132FD in pristine condition that was hardly used as the owner works for an oil company in the gulf and is gone a lot of the time. Since he could not use it very...

My goal when buying a truck was always to remain 100% legal with respect to GAWRs, GVWRs, and GCVW. We wanted a travel trailer at that time. Well since then the DW has really fallen for the Reflection 28BH, and I think I have a slight GAWR problem and will be real tight on GVW for the truck...

Recent weight of the new ride from the dealership with about 1 gallon used in driving home or so.

So there is a new update on my '13 WW and it's axle. We wound up taking it in this morning to a well known and reputable axle repair shop locally to have the issue diagnosed. It turns out the axle was installed upside down, so the camber of our wheels are completely off. The shop owner pointed...

Inquiring minds need to know...:confused: I've read lots of posts on the easy-lube axles saying don't do it because you may blow out the rear seal and contaminate the brakes with grease. I fully believe that to be true for trailers with drum brakes - which apparently is the vast majority of...

Hi all getting my TT ready for a cross country trip what grease would every one exponent for able bearings

Looking at lifting my T21 aframe. Dexter axle has a risers for it and lifts just under 3". Anyone used these before? I am wanting more ground clearance and to run a taller tire. Anyone run a taller tire and still fit in the factory wheel wells?

Hello all, I'm looking for advice on lifting my Trail-lite Trail Cruiser fifth-wheel camper trailer. I've researched the Dexter axle lift kits, but they don't certify them with the Lippert axles (also, I want to lift 4", the Dexter kits max at 3-1/8"). Any advice or knowledge out there...

I have a 2016 HW276 and was wondering how to identify what type of axle bearings I have; ez lube or never lube. I called Forest River and was told to look for a sticker but I do not have one. Headed Mt. Rushmore next week and want to make sure the camper is ready to go.

We are currently looking at a Legacy 38RE with all options except generator and I think we'll be better off with a Honda or Yamaha anyway, if we do need one. Posters in an older (Riverstone) thread expressed their concerns regarding the "inferior" axles and suspension, the Riverstone has...

I purchased my first TT back in March of 2016 - 15 months ago. After noticing a tire that appeared to be angling in towards the body at a weird angle, I took it to my local mechanic. He told me the axle was bent and needed to be replaced. I haven't hit any potholes and have been babying this...

Cleaning out the garage and found a box of washers for the old trailer. 3500# axle thrust washers 8x (with D shaped hole in center) and 4 tang washers (used instead of cotter pins). Send me $6 for a usps flat rate box and they are yours. [/IMG] [/URL][/IMG]

I have what appears to be a metal disc instead of a rubber axle end cap. Anyone have trouble getting them off? Anyone replace them with a rubber end cap? Where'd you get the rubber ones? Thx.

wondering if anyone else has had issues with Axles/Bearings on 2011 Rockwood Signature Ultralite under rated for towing capacity. Have had two issues with bearings failing, Axles are 3500lbs each and dry weight is listed as 7414lb. Cargo allowance is 1666lbs. Doesn't add up?
