I bought my Class B several years ago, and started having problems with the tires and axles recently. I had previously experienced 2 tire blowouts, but didn't think about weight. After both rear axles, and front wheel bearings failed, I weighed the vehicle and discovered it to be 1000lbs over GVWR, completely empty. I contacted the manufacturer who only gave me the run around. The dealer I purchased it from is not responsive. Any suggested recourse? Lawsuit will be expensive and drawn out. NHTSA have any enforcement authority? Any possible modifications to the vehicle?
It would help to know the model and year, as there are some that have more issues than others, and may have solutions or modifications that might help.
The first thing to do is to look at the weight sticker on the RV and see what the factory said it weighed, and then go from there.
