axle

I replaced the 4 leaf spring packs with 6 leaf to raise the 5er a couple inches. That worked and to be honest, the 4 leaf were flat as pancakes and seemed undersized to me anyway. When I consulted everyone on here when doing that, I vaguely remember someone mentioning I should upgrade the...

Hey everyone, new to RV life. I've gotten tons of great information here, but remain confused about a sticker on my camper. The sticker lists the GVWR as 500 lbs lower than expected. I see that sometimes the advertised GVWR is not accurate, and am ok with that. We expected a GVWR of 4500 from...

New to the forum so if this questions has previously been beaten to death, I do apologize. I'm searching for a replacement axle source for a 2014 Coachmen Clipper 17FQ. I'm afraid the harsh elements in the Northeast have led to badly corroded springs, axle and associated hardware. The springs...

Good morning. I have a 2022 Salem 178BHSKX. We are currently in Charleston SC after 600+ mile drive from Pittsburgh. As I was chocking the wheels I noticed grease on the hub. Obviously we have an axle bearing issue. Is this a overly complicated repair? I guess Ill need to find a mobile RV...

Im looking for aluminum framing, with tandem axles. First time campers, but want aluminum ( we think?) Which model is the best bang for the buck? new or a few years old.

I have a 2021 Rockwood 5th wheel and noticed the inside of my front passenger side tire of the camper was wearing down. The outside tread of that tire looked good. The tread on the other 3 tires looked good. I had it looked at by a trailer company locally that does sales and repairs on all...

A topic that never fails to generate strong differences of opinions. Bushings: bronze, nylon or the ever elusive "NeverFail". In April 2023, I replaced my, once again, failed bronze bushings with new bronze bushings. Put the trailer in storage and brought it home to prep for an upcoming trip...

I noticed there is 0-3” clearance between the fresh water tank and the front axle. This seems like a bad design. I know flipping the axles will fix it, but is t necessary? Is there another option to raise the trailer without flipping the axles?

I have a 2022 Cherokee 234DC i have noticed the rear tire on drivers side leaning at times. I had to replace it the other day cords showing on inside. Not sure what is causing this problem. Have pulled about 6000 miles so far. On a trip to Maine from central Illinois.

I just picked up my trailer today from the repair shop after bending an axle in early July. I still don't know exactly how it happened but here goes my story. It was race weekend at Atlanta Motor Speedway and I was dropping the camper off on Wednesday to come back on Friday with my wife. On...

New to TT's and in the event we need to change a tire on our 2022 FR Wildwood 178BHSK with a single axle Dexter 4400# 7194653: From what I have perused through the forum, not ideal to jack on the axle, but perhaps behind the tire on the small stub out of the frame as in the attached picture...

Found an aftermarket shock absorber mounting kit that works for 2 3/8” axles. Having trouble finding the size of the axle on my Wolf Pup. Any ideas where to look? Anybody already have the answer? Thx in advance for any info.

We recently had a bearing seize up on us after a 2 week camping trip and the amount of damage to the axle, hub,and brakes has me thinking I will replace the whole axle. I need to know some specs for an axle replacement. I believe the original axles were made by Lippert but I've been unable...

This segment of the RV world, are the most popular selling RVs over past 2 or 3 years. They are marketed to buyers with midsized or smaller tow vehicles and usually have GVWRs from 3500lbs-5000lbs. They often have high tech features and higher end amenities and are bigger, than smaller single...

I have a 2000 m-21 Roo and I need info on where to place jacks. I do have the OEM manual, but it does not tell where to place the jack on the axle. !. Do I put on the frame??? 2. Do i put it on the axle tube??? I need to check bearings, and brakes. :banghead:

I finally had my axles switched from an overslung to underslung position. I was really tired of having the trailer scratch while entering exit driveways and such. I also have a steeper driveway and could not park it there due to clearance. It took a minute to find a place that would even do it...

I don’t have a 5th wheel or travel trailer, and have never had a trailer of any appreciable size. However…..I’ve now heard from some friends with relatively new trailers of both kinds, that have suffered bent axles which causes significant uneven tire wear as a first indicator of the axle...

Is anyone able to use Anderson Levelers on a narrow dual axle trailer? I have a Freedom Express 192RBS and it looks really tight to put one between the tires. I know it says you can cut off one end to facilitate but I didn’t want to do that if anyone has had any negative results with that...

Newbie question here: I have a 2019 Rockwood Freedom 1940LTD pop-up and I need to grease the axles. I know it has an e-z lube, i have the grease, but my problem is - the camper axle has a small plastic dome over the hub at the end of the axle where the zerk is located. Can I remove this dome...

For those of you that have experienced backing and maneuvering both single and dual axle travel trailers …do you feel that a dual axle trailer is easier to back/maneuver than a single axle? Appreciate your thoughts.

Can someone confirm for me that my 15 XLR thunderbolt 300x12hp has 7000 Lb axles?

For 10 years we towed our RV with a 2013 F150 4x4 with a 5.0L. It was perfect level. We purchased a new 2022 F350 King Ranch 4x4 with 7.3L. This TV is taller, therefore, the front of the RV is now riding high. We have Dexter Torsion Axles that cannot be adjusted and Dexter technical support...

Just sharing my current fiasco in case it helps someone. 38ft Lacrosse travel trailer, 2017 F250. 3 hours out of Myrtle Beach heading home to Maryland this past Sunday, encountered a massive storm. As we met the leading edge it was as if someone flicked the "Wind Gust!" switch and we got the...

Hello! We are the second owner on a 2021 19QBS, and had the unfortunate issue of hitting a pot hole on a bad road in Arizona and bending an axle. It's not too terribly bad and we made it home to Texas with no problems, but the wheel is canted in at the top a bit. Since we bought this used we...

Trying to do some brake work on my trailer, and it appears the wrong axle sticker was applied to both my axles. The sticker indicates they are 3000# axles, but the brake measurements (10 x 2.25) and the bearing #'s seem to indicate they are 3500# axles. I want to make sure I order the correct...
