    Widely Spaced Axles

    I have a 2021 Spirit 2557RB and the axles are spread much farther apart than what I've seen on most travel trailers. The distance axle to axle is 42 inches with 16 inches between tires. Does anyone has experience with using either X-Chocks or the Trailer Aid tire changing ramps with axles...

    Flipping the axle on a FOrest River surveyor select 305

    How do you flip the axles on a 2013 Forest River surveyor select 305? I just had my RV into la Mesa RV in Phoenix and ask them to fl my axles for me ( the rear always drags on the ground near low dips in the road) and they said my unit could not be flipped. Makes no sense. Anyone know why...

    Grease for Lippert Axle

    Hi All, I'd like to grease my axle bearings (via zerk, not a repack) on our 2018 Stealth 2816 Toyhauler. Axles are Lippert 6000#. I'd like to match whatever red grease came originally if anyone knows what was used. In searching Amazon for candidates, most greases don't meet the temperature...

    Square axle question

    I took my trailer in to Camping World because one tire was wearing on the edge. The service man pointed out I have a square axle and that if it is bent a new axle will have to be custom made. The service man said he had never seen a square axle before. I have a MicroLite FGD 19, single axle...

    No Bo 19.8 Axle, Wheel & Tire Upgrade

    I competed an Axle, Wheel & Tire Upgrade. My motivation was mainly to increase the safety factor of a single axle and increase a measly 900# cargo capacity. That weight would get eaten up very very quickly. It only had D rated tires, which had to go as well (too squishy). I also wanted a...

    Axle Rating Question...

    Hello, my Forest River Forum Friends – I need some help. I have a 2019 F250 that got a new tonneau topper today. Just because I was curious, I loaded up the wife and kid, got a full tank of gas, and went to the scales. I wanted to know how much available payload I actually had for our...

    Dexter Axle Co are the BEST!

    On a recent long trip we stopped to get fuel and I noticed burning clutch/brake smell. Took out my infrared temp gun and found one of my wheel was 143* at the drum where the others were at 83*. Uh oh! So I moved the RV to a parking spot and raised the side of the RV with the hot drum...

    tire wear and axle repalcement

    This question is about my enclosed trailer rather than my camper. I noticed on the front axle the tires are bald on the inside, the rear axle has normal wear. I understand this may be the result of overloading either by myself or the previous owner. and I will address the over 1000lbs of tongue...

    Tandem Axle Fender Skirt

    The fender skirt on my 2015 Crusader 315RST fifth wheel has bee damaged and I'm having difficulty finding a replacement. The picture shows the other "intact" one. Any ideas where I can go? I'm located in Nova Scotia Canada but presumably I could order one from anywhere in North America.

    Help Deciphering Axle Weights

    So I took the rig to an open scale I've passed a million times here in town thinking I'd get some good weights on my setup, only to discover it's a single axle scale. So I wasn't able to really do what I wanted but I went ahead and got some loaded and unloaded numbers anyway just in case they're...

    Torsion Axles How to soften them up?

    I have an E-Pro12RK, It is a micro camper that I pull behind my Jeep. The torsion axles..... I think are rated for way more than the camper weights... Going down the trail, I can and has bounced up in the air off the ground. Way to much spring in the axle. Is there anyway to lighten up the...

    Rpod axle upgrade

    I have an Rpod 179t the standard version. I would like to upgrade it to get more clearance like the Hood River version. Any comments as to how to accomplish this? Replace the entire axle assembly perhaps or a lift kit of some kind. I do understand I may have to mod the jacking units.

    Swapping out axles

    Our 2017 Wolf pack 325 Pack 13 has factory installed 6000 lb. axles. Not near strong enough in my opinion. The factory must of seen this as 2018 and newer units have 7000 lb. axles. Anybody here swap out to larger rated axles and eight lug rims? I also thought of using 16 inch 6 lug steel...

    axle under springs mod

    Trailer is a 2019 FR Wildwood FSX 17' single axle bumper pull. Want to put the springs over the axle to raise the trailer height. Drag the rear mounted tank drain valves too easily. Any drawbacks that folks have run into? I will add and weld new spring perch mounts to the axle instead of...

    Single Axle versus Double Axle

    I've found the single axles are a little easier to overload the tongue weight on. The advantages are less tires, brakes, and bearings to deal with. Single axle is also easier to back into a tight space than a dual axle of the same size. Single axle is overall going to be lighter weight. One...

    Axle Flip

    Just bought a new 2020 Fifth Wheel Adrenaline 33A17 (same as the Work & Play version). Unfortunately, it sits very high on my 2018 RAM HD truck. I lowered the new B&W Companion Slide hitch to it's lowest setting. Looks like the only way to get 5-6in rise in the rear of the trailer, would be...
