    Wheel Bearing Grease - Dexter Axle

    We have Dexter Axles on our Flagstaff Micro Lite Model 25RKS. It looks to me like I will need to remove the trailer wheel to grease the wheel bearings without getting grease inside the hub/sleeve. Any ways around this? See pictures. Also jacking up the trailer, where would you lift from...

    NoBO/IBEX Axle Flip

    Has anyone flipped the axles on their NoBo or IBEX? I have an IBEX 19MBH and I'd love to gain some extra ground clearance, but I'm a bit hesitant to mess with engineered ride height. Thanks!

    Weird tire wear - axle problem?

    So last year, I returned from a road trip with bizarre wearing just on the outer shoulders of my tires on one side only. After much back and forth with the shop, I ended up taking it to a trailer alignment shop and getting a new set of Goodyear tires. It was very expensive. A year later...

    Lippert Torsion Axles

    My FR RPod has Lippert Torsion axles and would like to know how to check them. I know they have a bad reputation and hope to spot issues before anything gets too bad (bearings are packed every winter)

    When I look at the vertical alignment of my dual trailer wheels as its sitting on level ground, one of the wheels on both sides seem to be off vertical a bit and not inline with the other one.

    Axle grease/maintenance

    I searched for a thread here about axle greasing, but couldn't find one. What's the concensus about pumping grease into the zirc fitting on the Lippert axle -vs- removing the wheel and hand greasing the bearings? Based on a little research, it seems like many people think it is too easy to...

    Double Axle vs. Single Axle

    I've towed 3 or 4 different double axle trailers over the last 30 years, always in the range of 20' to about 24'. I've notices now that manufacturers are making single axles in that same size and weight range as the double axles I'm used to. I read opinions that double axle is better for...

    Help! Bent axle?

    All, we're 900 miles into a 6-week 3,000 mile trip. I packed the bearings on my Mini-Lite before we left. Everything looked fine. Except for the brakes not being adjusted ideally, I've never had a problem with axles, wheels, bearings, rims or tires. Today we noted the front right wheel is...

    Finishing axle greasing

    My husband greased the axles on our 2017 2109S and got replacement rubber parts that fit on to the end of the axle. He has been working all afternoon trying to get them back on. He's hot and frustrated. I'll try to attach photos of the part and the axle. How do you get the darn things on?

    A question on axles and greasing.

    My 22RBHL came with no information relating to the axles, although I have a feeling that they are Dexter. 1) How can I accurately identify the specific axles? 2) How or where can I then find information on when I should check the grease and or any other maintenance points? On other trailers...

    Has anyone that has flipped the axles (moved to under the springs) on their grey wolf camper to get more ground clearance had any concerns or issues caused by it? If not are you happy with the end result?

    Bent spindle? Alignment?

    I’m the second owner of a 5.0 TA and just took it out for its first long trip. Over 3500 miles one of the four tires wore significantly on the outside shoulder.

    Chocking double axle

    I’ve only had single axle trailers, until next week when I get my upgraded Spirit XTR with a dual axle. Trying to figure out if I need to get additional chocks, or will 4 still work? Do I chock each wheel, if so needing 8? I’ve seen the X chocks, do I need those?
