Surprised when I found this shackel bolt
I am getting ready for a trip this weekend and craweled under the trailer to install a new sewer cap. This trailer is only 5 monthes old so not sure when the nut may have backed out. Lucky to ha...

Now the problem is that the shackle bolt hole is wallowed out. The factory bolt has serrations on the head end that forces into the support hole to keep the bolt from turning. Now the bolt is going to turn in the shackle support instead of in the bushing. In a short period of time the bolt will start to be cut by turning in the support instead of the bushing. The only long term answer for any RV is to install a wet bolt shackle kit. (Greaseable)
Glad Outdoors is stepping up on this. I'd be very inclined to add the wet bolts all around, though the new bolts would likely have the same issue with the wallowed out hangar hole. I'd =really= push to have the hangar cut off and a new one installed.
