defeated. Also can cause overloaded hitches. 2. Tires were of insufficent load carrying ability. The suit covered new tires. There have been hundreds of blowouts. No factory requirement/recommendation to upgrade. 3. Weekend warrior far underrated the dry weight of many trailers. Mine was about 1,000 lbs. Heavier than specified. I found out late january when weekend warrior sent me a notice. 4. Trailers not designed so that 15% of tongue weight can be applied to many models without overloading the strongest hitch available. Read www.Glamisdunes.Net and search for weekend warrior threads on bending hitches. 5.The axles may be underrated for the trailers max gross weight. 6. Emergency brake-away switch on at least many models melts wiring within seconds of being activated. The incident date is the approximate start date of my problems. *Tr
I have an 05 weekend warrior fs2600 travel trailer. With the owners packet in the trailer was a manual for the alko brand axles which were installed on the trailer.

The shackles which attach the passenger side rear spring to the equalizer had failed leaving the suspension integrity compromised is a pic of the failed...

parts. Http://www.Putfile.Com/pic.Php?Img=4442971..You can clearly see that the rear springs is now detached at it's front point. Here is another pic showing excessive wear on the equalizer pivot http://www.Putfile.Com/pic.Php?Img=4453413 ..I honestly believe that the failure and wear could have been avoided or seriously reduced if the mfg. Recommended a period lube of these parts. This failure did not result in an accident or injury, but I see a real hazard. I have posted this problem on rv.Net and found that I am not the only one to have this problem. I believe the alko company should amend there owners manual to state that lubrication of the suspension points on a regular basis is necessary to help avoid these failures and excessive wear. I have replaced these parts at my own expense to repair the trailer. As I removed the old parts I was alarmed at the wear on all of the friction surfaces of the suspension. I have replaced the suspension equalizers, shackles, and the bolts which attach these parts. *Nm
Request nhtsa to review letter to determine if a recall or safety bulletin should be issued for carlisle radial st tires. *Ph since purchase, the consumer experienced gross failure of all 7 tires and have replaced them all. The latest failure and subsequent failure revealed that all remaining carlisle tires were separating tread from the casing. The tire seemed to have disintegrated while being driven on the highway. It tore away so violently that it damaged underneath the trailer. Others have experienced this problem as well with carlisle tires. (03' Weekend warrior fs3000 travel trailer) *sc *jb
