DJ lookin' good. Sadly one of the Al-Ko Axles on my SRT decided last weekend that it was going to drop a wheel. Looks like the weld separated right at the backing plate. Its a clean break, looks like it could be welded right back on. However my friends that do fab work said no, buy a new axle tube with backing plates and swap all my hubs and brakes and everything over to the new one. Now I just need to find one!
Ouch!!! I don't know how these TT companies get away with using axles that don't even meet the GVWR!!!! If I were you at this point I would replace both axles for a higher weight rating!!! - archie18ExplorerPassport 2300

- WoodGlueExplorerIt's really nice that you also have the full sized queen, makes it easier to switch out!
WoodGlue - somookcExplorerThx WoodGlue . You have a really nice trailer yourself. I really like the Lances as well. @ Mike Up yes the bunk bed folds up when not in use.

Doesn't the bunk fold up into a cabinet when not used?? That's the way it is on many ultralight campers. - BubbaKExplorer
