Crossroads Redwood Problems by year

the right side. I had to level the rv with a ramp on a level site. The broken leaf spring was hidden by the tire. I looked under the rv and then saw the damage to the leaf spring, i-beam and motor suspension system. Keystone/lippert sent out a mobile tech to repair the damage. Keystone had to replace tires which only had about 4500 miles on them. The lippert technician did not come right out and say it, but he hinted the leaf springs are not strong enough for the weight of the rv. His job is to go to broken down keystone rvs with lippert chassis suspension failures. I am not sure how much longer I could have driven the rv without cutting deeper into the i-beam or for the rear axle to rip free from the frame causing me to wreck or injuring myself or others around me.*Dt*dt*jb*dt*jb

spring while driving. This is a factory defect either in the weight capacity of the springs or quality of the china made springs on these units. If these break off it could be a catastrophic outcome for the person towing. Major safety defect in my mind. I am a ase master auto technician so I am very knowledgeable of suspensions and axles.*Dt the consumer stated he received springs under warranty and no further action is required. *Tr

member of the redwood owners group and there have been numerous complaints of these springs breaking for a number of years. When the 2016 model year came the manufacturer came out with 8000 pound springs as standard equipment. I was very fortunate that my first spring snapped when pulling into the campground 5 mph I was staying for the night. The second spring snapped coming into magnolia springs al I was traveling at around 10 miles per hour. Had I been on i-10 traveling at highway speed this could have been catastrophic think about it happening in the mobile bay tunnel which I traveled through twice during this trip. Now I feel that the manufacturer has miss led its customers into a dangerous situation since they state on the closet entrance door that the weight of the rv in my case is 13700 pounds without upgrades or customer belongings. They also state the pin weight of this around 3500 pounds. This would lead one to believe that the axles are well with in the safety zone. Yet so many people are encountering the same issue with broken springs. I will post this to the members sight and would hope that this issue is looked into not only for the safety of the owners that have these rv's but the general public traveling our highways around us. As a result many of us owners are choosing to replace their current suspensions at great out of pocket cost.

time it was the front tire on the passenger side dame batch with a build date of "0114". The damage to the rv was more extensive so far the cost to repair is more than $5000 with a $500.00 Deductible. Has not been repaired yet but have an apt in oct at duncans again. Before every trip I ensure that there is 95psi in each tire and that the torque on the lugs is 110 ft lbs. Ant every rest stop the temp of the tires are measured with a infrared thermometer to ensure that everything is good.
