SuspensionWheels & tires

Two of four wheels on my 2005 mobile suites 5th wheel cracked while on a trip. Had it not been for our remote tire pressure monitor which notified us of the tires losing pressure before a blow-out could occur, we could very well have had a catastrophic blow-out on the mountain roads we were traveling. Since the equipment failure occurred,i have been informed by suspension experts that the suspension and axles are unsafe also. The manufacturer chose to use two 7,000 pound axles instead of the necessary 8,000 pound...

Read the full complaint

axles that are warranted for a gvwr of 16,000. The manufacturer does not understand that you cannot subtract out the "pin weight" from the gvwr when sizing the axles because the dynamic forces that are transmitted to the suspension while in motion are far greater than simply the static weight. The manufacturer, doubletree rv, of howe, indiana. Refuses to answer my registered letters. I have asked the manufacturer to replace the current suspension with the two 8,000 dexter axles with 17.5 Inch wheels and "h" rated tires at no cost to me. My retirement 5th wheel is not safe to use. --James weston. *Nm

Body, doors & structure

Dt: double tree 38rl3 fifth wheel trailer. This was the second rv that had a lippert frame and had constant problems with it. Owned it less than a month, it has been repaired 4 times. Currently, double tree refused to take it back or exchange for a new unit, but wanted consumer to drive vehicle to indiana to have it retrofitted. Bought on 7/9/05, and on 7/11/05 took it back to be fixed. On 7/19/05 took it back again on 7/26/05 and 7/27/05. When attaching to the 5th wheel the trailer dipped down before rising, and crushed the dealer's truck.*Ak
