For now I have to take what Lippert pays for. I’ll upgrade to something better when I get back. Do you also have a White Hawk with the widely spaced axles? I know there is a Lippert upgrade to a 4,400 lb axle but is that going to solve the problem ?
It has 14” wheels and the distance between hubs is 42”.
I’m thinking of getting the Jay Flight 28RL. Same floor plan but axles are close together and the gross weight is 8800 instead of 7500 on a trailer whose factory weight is 6800 instead of my 6130.
I agree with you about the axle spacing being an issue, I don't know what they were thinking besides an advertising gimmick.
I know that you are depending on manufacturers to do the right thing and fix the RV, but you have to remember that they were the ones that sent junk out the door in the first place. I took mine back for warranty and was given the runaround, so I brought it home and replaced the entire mess with much heavier parts. I now have replaced absolutely everything below the frame and have towed the trailer all over the US, something that would have been impossible if I depended on dealers and manufacturers. These things are not ready for prime time, but somehow they continue to sell to the unsuspecting public.
