axle

For those that do use the EZ-Lube feature here's a little tip that is not included in Dexter's instructions. You can actually see if any grease has leaked past the seal when you pumped in (by hand of course) fresh grease. The backing plate has two places that look somewhat like air scoops, one...

Fifth wheel is 16800 GVWR Hitch weight is listed as 2794 Curb weight is 14562 Unit only comes with dual 7k axles....are those enough for a camper that size? Tow vehicle is NOT a concern right now - only questioning the math on why 7k axles would or would not be adequate Tires are 16 inch G rated

Has anyone used Dexter Torflex axles on their RV? Looks like it would be a simple install. It would give you independent suspension and no springs or shackles to worry about. They are available with disc brakes and oil bath hubs. Independence suspension, disc brakes, and oil bath hubs sounds...

Where can I find a 2” spacer block for my 2008 Georgetown 370, to place between fr axle and spring, to raise right fr corner?

This thought keeps running thru my head. Can you bend an axle, jacking it up to change a flat tire. I sure hope not, but with these travel trailer (TT) frames being maxed out, I wonder. And No, I did not have a flat.

Does anyone know whether Forest River has started using the Torflex Axle with the removable spindle?

I have a 243rbs coachmen Catalina 2018 TT. The rear axle is bent. Only 2000 mi on it. only had it 1.5 yrs. Bought new. Anyhow, just went thru all the measurement BS with Lippert frames. It has Dexter axles which lippert put on their frame. They are telling me I have to go to Dexter axles for a...

My surveyor 251 did has a damaged axle due to wheel bearing seizing. Can anyone tell me what specs are for replacement of original equipment ?

Hello, This question is for those that have owned other travel trailers before purchasing a Forest River product. Do the Dexter Torflex Torsion Rubber Ride Axles really make a difference? I've never towed a TT with this type of axle. If it is a better axle, what led you to this opinion...

Bought this camper new, but the dealer didn't include any literature on the axles. Can I presume they are Dexters? Also, as there are zerk fittings on the ends of the axles, can I assume that these are EZ Lube? I can attach a picture of the hub if it helps. Thx.

I did a search, but could not find any posts on the subject. I've noticed that the TT's with tandem axles that we've looked at only come with brakes on one axle. Is there any benefit to adding brakes to the second axle? I figured since the hub assemblies and backing plates were fairly...

Hello, I am trying to figure what axles I need for my camper. 2019 puma xle rdc 20. When I got it it had some issues one of them being they took the axles that came on it off and used them on another camper. They just put one on it that is wrong so it could be moved. I am not sure what I need...

Forest River is recalling certain 2019 Forest River East to West travel trailers, model 27KNS. Incorrect axle shackles may have been installed on the vehicles, allowing the tires to contact the floor or wheel well while moving...

No hurry here but will be looking for new tires soon. Towing CC 35IK, mostly highway. Any success stories or suggestions would be awesome. Ford Lariat 4WD Single axle Short Bed Crew Cab Diesel.2017...

Having issue with front axle drivers side. The tire is rubbing the trailer body at the top. No other tires are rubbing. Had a blowout on right rear while on interstate, and then noticed a residue inside which I’ve now determined to be the plywood from the underbody. I’ve looked at spacers or...

Hello, I was wondering if anybody might know what kind of axles are on my 07 All Am Sport 385 RLTS Toy Hauler. Lippart? Dexter? If Dexter, Easy Lube or Never Lube? I've read on the forum that if they're Easy Lube to regrease the old fashioned way (taking them apart). Thank you.

The issue with tire blowouts has to be the most talked about. Made me start wondering what type axles the TT's have that had the issue with blowouts. I know load issues can be a factor, so how spring and torsion axles handle loads could be a factor. For one reason or another I have pulled my...

After a ton of research, I've found that my ultimate TT would be the Nano 208BHS. Unfortunately, it is too much TT for my 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee to pull. So my next choice is the smaller version, 193BHS. Aside from weight, I figure I'm settling on single size bunks and 1 axle while maintain...

So im wondering can someone re align the axles on the a tt.. i have a twin axle thats a torsion style and i noticed the right front tire as some abnormal wear on the inside of the tire. Can they be realigned?

My 2019 Cherokee Wolf Pup 16BHS has a posted GVWR of 3,877 lbs. The axle's sticker shows a weight rating of 3,500 lbs. At first I thought this could not be up to code, but then I wondered if this is within weight ratings because subtracting the trailer's hitch weight of 377 lbs from the GVWR...

I have a 2013 V cross vibe 6504 single axle with the old 3500 rated torsion axle(14 + models have 4500lb axles.). Overall I love this travel trailer, love the queen size bed in back, roomy bathroom and the pullout makes it great for me, the wife and 2 dogs. I had a few issues but overall happy...

Hi! Long time lurker, first time posting :D Will be having the axle seals replaced by my brother in law this week, along with some other general maintenance. I was wanting to purchase the new seals now to be ready. Without dismantling anything, is there a way to find what size I need? Google...

Hey all. I'm currently broken down in Sioux Falls, SD and desperately trying to get home (Georgia). Let's just say it's already been a longer trip than anticipated (death in the family, etc). Today I was pulling from our campsite and noticed the center cap had popped off. In addition, the...

Full Disclosure: 1st time owner of a 2019 Forest Ridge Sierra 5th wheel 383RBLOK. Question: When storing/parking long term, I have been reading about people blocking their axles off the ground to remove the weight off the tire to prevent damage to the tires. I work in the construction...
