Had a dutchmen aerolite that looked as if they built it out of spare parts that might have been left over. Lost a bearing on one trip and then the bearing and tire on the same axel on another trip. The Lippert looked like it was either a used axel or one that had been laying around outside for awhile. Bought the rig from Camping World in Colorado Springs and it did indeed look like it was put together from spare parts. I have been told by more than one dealer that Dutchmen no longer has the good name it used to and have to agree with that. Traded that pos off and so far am really happy with the new Coachmen.
