Does anyone really use a torque wrench to set the castle nut(50ft.lbs)? before you back it off and hand tighten it? If so, what size socket does that take? 1 1/2"? I think the 3500lb axle uses a 1" castle nut? Trailer is not here so I'm just trying to prepare. Thanks

Doing some bearing inspection before we head out on a 3000 mile tow next month. First hub off, does this spindle look scored (red arrow)? If any thing it looks like it necks down at that location. Past few trips this tire has run a little warmer (+5F) than the others so it was the first to come...

We have a 2020 Rockwood 8291rk that we've put about 8,000 miles on. Recently the TPMS has been reporting higher than normal temps, so we had someone come out to repack the bearings and service the breaks. We're travelling through 100F degree temps, but TPMS reporting 150F+ seems way too high...

I was told that the Anderson Rapid Jack would not work on the Wide spread axle, but I was wondering if anyone actually knows how high you would have to lift the wheel to get the other one off the ground with a Rapid Jack type of lift. I was thinking if it is only a couple of inches more than...

My 2012 Stealth RG3210 Toyhauler is burning through the back tires (2 axle) in about 1500-2000 miles. The inside edge gets to the cord so fast. Nobody straightens the axles out here (Palm Springs, CA). The GRVW is 14,696, so I think I need 8,000 lb axles. The originals are AL-KO, but apparently...

My new trailer, which BTW I had to wait for 5 mos to be built, now has a bent axle, and of course this happens 900 miles away from home. Do you think I could find anyone to fix it? Nope. At least not right away. My warranty is up in 8 days and I now have to limp this thing back to my dealer...

I just bought 2 new axles and the guy had to weld on 2 flat things where it mounts to the spring with U-Bolts because the where on the wrong side. My question is, aren’t those axles belt with an arch for a purpose? I’m thinking the natural arch in the axle will now be totally opposite. Please help

We're pretty excited about having our new camper, now for 5 months. Less excited about having to drop it off at an RV repair location halfway through a vacation due to a failed drum brake mechanism. Does anyone have the exact specs on a 2021 178BHSK Axle? model number and rating would be...

Has anyone had a blow out with one of these single axle campers? I have a weight distribution hitch with a sway bar, so I'm sure that'll help some. I'm mostly curious how much damage the rim takes and how fast people are comfortable cruising with these single axle units. 2021 Wolf Pup 18TO /...

Hey everybody. This site has some great info and people, I'm calling on the axle/load pros here! Our axle failed on our 2019 Hyperlite XLR 29HFS. Luckily it was at low speeds during a turn on the roadside!! Great bad luck for once! We found the leaf spring perch was welded on way too hot...

I just purchased a Sandstorm T210 and I would like to flip the axles back to the springs under the axle. The previous owner said he had them flipped above for higher clearance, however there is only one spring perch on the axle. My understanding was that another spring perch would have to be...
