axle

Dexter axle woes Well I wanted to add disc brakes to my 2650ws 5th wheel. Checked on what I THOUGHT was correct, ordered a Kodiak kit and nothing fit!!! It looks like I have a 4400 lb axle and is bastard to the rest of the brake/axle world. The mounting bolts are off, the rotors do not fit the...

Has anybody replaced their torsion axles with leaf spring axles? I have about 8,000 miles on my AL-KO axles and the welds between the mounting brackets and axles are cracked. I haven't gotten a price for the new torsion axles yet but I am guessing at close to $1200 if I install them. My thought...

Anyone lube their TT axles straight from the factory? Couple thoughts on why. You already have about 500 miles on delivery to the dealership. Also I would rather check to make sure they are greased in full prior to taking on a season of adventure. Unnecessary, or dont leave anything to chance?

Just a newbie question about axle weight capacities and GVWR on my Frontier. The GVWR on my front axle is 3296 lbs and the rear axle GVWR is 3331 lbs. The combined axle capacities add up to 6627 lbs The GVWR for the truck is 5730 lbs. Am I correct to assume those are weight limits for the axles...

I have a 2018 Wolf Pack 24 toy hauler, bumper pull. We just took a trip from Wisconsin down to the Fl Keys and on the way there in southern Georgia the rear drivers side bearings went out taking out the axle. Yes, now I know not to really trust the ez lube hubs and will be doing it right from...

Want to get a good tire pressure monitoring system for my trailer that accurate. Any suggestions and thoughts greatly appreciated.

While changing my brakes I noticed my axles were different lengths. Is there a reason for this.

I re-packed my bearings for the first time and noticed some very ugly spots on my axle spindles. – See picture All four of them have the blemish. It is in a spot where there is no contact with anything, but the way it looks does concern me. This is a 2007 Keystone Cougar - I bought it a...

Hi all, I've been looking to upgrade from electric brakes to disc brakes but have had a heck of a time trying to determine what type of axles I have on my rig. For whatever reason there is no label anywhere on the axles so therefore I can't find out any detail on them. I need to know the axle...

Hi all, We just purchased a 2019 Freedom Express 257BHS. We don't actually get it until the end of April but we're doing some pre-emptive shopping. One thing I'm looking at are stabilizing chocks like the X-chocks. I've searched but haven't found an answer to this yet. Do any of you with...

We have a 2011 Wildwood 28RLSS travel trailer. During a trip last year we had an unfortunate "meeting" with a steel cattle guard that blew a tire, bent the rim, and also bent the axle. After replacing the rim and tire we ended up spending several days in a way point waiting for a new axle. The...

I live in Washington State where we live and die by the tides and ferries. My new Viking 17FQ is a single axle trailer. I want to get on ferries with it but have great concern the back end including the black water and grey water discharge (sewer port) could hit bottom and break off or get...

We bought our first travel trailer after having owned 2 Class C RVs for the last 22 years. I have been doing a lot of reading on the forums learning about TTs in general and decided I want to carry spare axle bearings with me in case I encounter any issues. The question is how do I know what...

Anyone else get contacted about this? I was actually contacted by a rep from Dexter, not FR. They’re supposedly helping locate a closer service center to check it out for me so I don’t have to drive back to the dealer we bought it at (2hrs away). Sorry about the crappy photo.

We purchased a 2017 Flagstaff 831BHDS new & it’s never towed well, I’ve fought the trailer since getting it, link to other discussion below for a back story. RV.Net Open Roads Forum: Travel Trailers: Flagstaff design harder to tow? I think I may have found the problem & worse (for me) I’m...

I just recently purchased a 26rr. When winterizing I noticed the fresh water tank drain is directly above the leading axle and is only 1 1/4 inches away from it. Do I have reason to be concerned? I called Cherokee as well as a couple dealers and got nowhere. Can others with 26rrs confirm...

Howdy Campers, I bought a Rockwood 2707WS with Dexter torsion flex axles. The axles are rated at 4,000 pounds. The sticker on the camper dry weight is 7,300 pounds, and max cargo is 1,347 pounds. So 7,300 + 1,347 = 8,637 pounds...637 pounds over the max axle rating. I am now officially...

Is it me, or is the 14K front axle ont the XLT's seem like it could use another 3K ? It seems most other coaches are 16K or better. -

Attached is a picture of what has happened to our front axle on BOTH sides. It has cracked away from the frame, but identically on both sides. The trailer is 3 years old, we haven't gone off road, just long trips to Yellowstone and Oregon. What would be possible causes? And would it be under...

I was asked (MidwestCamper) to take a look at why it seems that the more weight is being transfer to the rear axle on a 5'er/trailer. This has actually been on my mind for awhile so I decided to give it a shot. I have been doing a lot of CAD drawing of my Reflection 303RLS suspension and...

Looking to upsize our trailer and trying to factor in running gear differences between a few that would meet our needs. There are two TT that are on my short list. A Coachmen Freedom Express running on leaf springs but wide spread axles, and a Lance running on closely spaced torsion axles. I'm...

All, We are (hopefully) in the final process of getting our 5.0 order together. Unfortunately, we do not have a tow vehicle yet and are in the process of researching trucks. The order form requires us to provide information on our truck. My question is, if you have a 5.0TA is there an issue...

Hello to All: I have my Coachmen Clipper 17FQ into the dealer for a few updates and repairs, one of which I've asked him to flip the axle to provide me with more ground clearance for two main reasons: 1) So I can put on a larger rim and tire from a 13-inch to a 14-inch with greater load...

So I have a 2014 Forest River Flagstaff that runs of two tension axles. I noticed one side of the box being lower than the other side and now they both seem to be the same height. I crawled under to examine what may be going on there and that's when I found out that I have tension axles. I'm...
