We chose to ensure it wouldnt happen to us so thats why we upgraded axles and strengthened the frame. With the second trailer, we are adding a lot of torque to the frame.
I am going by Travelnutz calculations. What he said makes a lot of sense. Surely, Carriage would not have put out a product that could not handle the rigors of fulltiming, since they were specifically geared for that purpose. Otherwise, there would have been a lot of reports about the unit's frames cracking, etc.
The tire wear is much better too!
