axle

Ever since our 2011 390BH had the brakes/bags/tires upgraded in early May of this year, we now have clunking noises as we walk around the RV while camped (jacks down, slides out, etc.) We've been to numerous campgrounds and the clunking noise always occurs. It's very much like a house that has...

I've heard that when you need to change a tire on a trailer with Torsion Axles you need to place your jack under the frame and not the axle. On my Rockwood 2504s the frame is 23 inches off the ground and I'd have to go up another 3 or 4 inches to raise a wheel. Wow that's a lot of space for a...

I have a 2010 tracer 300bhd, from the start i had problems with the tires hitting the wheel wells. My axles are over slung so I can not flip them. Last year i replaced the back axle because it was bent, this year my front axle started to bend, so I replaced my 2 3/8 axle tubes with 3" by 1/4"...

Found this when trying to figure out my how engineers figured out what size axles to put under trailer. http://www.engineersedge.com/calculators/trailer-weight-balance.htm

Can anyone tell me the axle rating on the 27rr? My 26rr had 3500lb axles and I was wondering if they used the same axles on the 27rr? With the extra weight of the slide and camper I would hope for 5000 lb axles. If anyone could help I would appreciate it

Hello, We have a 2012 Grey Wolf 28BH, and after our last trip( Aprox. 100 Km's rt) I discovered that grease had leaked out on the outboard side of the wheel. Has anyone else experienced this?

Hi folks, So I'm heading to the East coast and 2 buddies reminded me that I need to grease the axles when I'm out there. Or I should. I'm not a mechanic! Lol I wasn't going to pry the Hub off, but are ball bearings behind it? Is it easy to do? I might call a local dealer and pay them to...

Ok, I've started this project! I found the spring perches at e-trailer for very little money (About $4 each!), and I'm going for it! Just wanted to share.

So I am considering doing the axle flip on my 261BHXL. I've researched enough, I understand how to do it, I can weld myself so putting the new brackets on is no big deal for me. I originally had questions about the stability of the trailer while towing afterwards, but it looks like everyone...

I pulled this list from the vin number spec sheet and there is alot of detail which is great but in regards to the axle rear ratio I have 2 specs which are the 3.73 and 3.42. Which one could it be or am I not understanding this correctly ? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have a 2016 Hyper Lite 27HFS and I was crawling around under it and found the sticker on the axles say #4400 capacity for a total of #8,800 (tandem axle). The sticker on the side of the camper states GVWR is #9792. What am I not understanding? I would have figured the axles would be the...

Ok, this post is for a friend who is bringing their new Mobile Suites ( i know not a FROG product) but I thought the collective experience may shed some insight. They traded the Open Range in for the Mobile Suites and were taking it back from FLA to VT. They got about 1k miles to PA and on one...

Two Dexter Torflex trailer axles, torsion suspension with E-Z Lube bearing lubrication. 4000 lb. capacity each. 10" electric brakes, 5-bolt hubs for 15" rims. 22 degree arm angle. Axles, brakes, bearings in good condition. These axles were removed from my Rockwood 5th wheel so "taller" axles...

Any input would be appreciated. I recently bought a brand new 2016 Grey Wolf 22rr from a dealership in the midwest. I towed it back to NY. The very first time I went to use it, we discovered that the gray water discharge pipe was broken. It had made contact with the axle and the elbow...

Since I'm a first time trailer owner, I have more questions than answers! I see that folks suggest carrying a set of packed wheel bearings. I understand that bearings are a common failure point, and would certainly stop me from being able to tow the trailer anywhere. My questions are: How...

Hi. I did some searching but must not be hitting the right combo of words. I have a 2007 Surveyor 255RS. I'd like to understand how to repack my bearings. The brochure says I have Superlube hubs but my search came up empty. Is Superlube the same as Ultra-lube? Sorry if these are dumb...

I think i have a problem but i need some advice. I bought a new Forest River Rockwood signature lite 8299BS in February and i have been prepping for a long road trip. during one of my inspections i noticed that the decal on the Dexter torque flex axles rated the axle GVAW as 5000. there are two...

Our 2013 Passport 3220BH has Alko 3500 lb axles under it, we bought the camper used last year and I the dealer said that they had "checked the bearings" as part of their multi point inspection of the camper prior to taking delivery. We live in Wisconsin and the camper was previously titled in...

Hitched to my 2016 Ram 2500 4x4, my Rockwood 8289 was unacceptably high in the front end. I couldn't make any adjustment to the hitch or pin box because there was already inadequate clearance between the truck and trailer. I had two options: trade for a taller trailer or raise the 8289. We chose...

I am thinking of moving the axles under the springs on my 2004 wildwood as it seems to sit low to me and when i back it in my driveway the rear of camper is only 4 inches or so away from hitting the ground. I was qouted 300 to have it done. I know they make a kit to diy but being it is 12 years...

Would it be possible to upgrade the 3500 lbs torrsion axle?

We have a 2015 Coachmen Catalina 33BHKS. I called the company we purchased it from to see what type of grease to use and they said "high temp, red (in color)" is what they use. My husband said what is in the axle is blue. He said that some types of grease are not compatible with others so he...

I have seen other threads on this topic, but none seemed to answer my questions. According to the 2016 Wildwood/Heritage Glen literature my HG 272RLS is suppose to have Ultra Lube Axles. But, I do not have any grease zerk fittings on mine. 1. What does Ultra lube axles mean? 2. Are these axles...

I may have come late to with this inquiry, but I've got to ask! We have a 2009 Sabre 28RETS 5th wheel purchased new, dealer gone. According to the Sabre brochure and stickers on the fenders it should have come with a SEALED WHEEL BEARING SYSTEM. I have been relying on this information, not...

2005 Forest River Flagstaff 228 I thought I had Dexter EZ lube bearings on my PUP but the pics and photos I've seen don't match up with the pic of mine below. Can anyone confirm I have EZ lubes or ????????????? I need to check / lube the bearings. Any words of wisdom is appreciated. Thanks...
