For those with bent axles, have you had them replaced under warranty? Or did you have to fork out the money? Anyone try to get them replaced after the warranty was up? I have had mine for over 2 years, and I just noticed this year that the rear axle is bent, but the front is not. Now the rear tires are cambered in noticeably. If we have to pay ourselves, can you share approx. what it costs to have them replaced?
Thanks,

RE Axle Problems. I have a 2012 Premier 29RTPR. I bought it in December of 2012. I looked up the mfg. date, it was March, 2012. I recently found excessive inside tire wear on the back axle. Took it into Lazy Days, Tampa FL and they confirmed bent axle. Keystone would do nothing as I was 8 weeks past the 1 year warranty. My service rep contacted Dexter and after sending some pictures and confirming information Dexter agreed to replace the axle, but said labor cost and tire replacement would be my responsibility. It took 2 weeks for the parts to arrive. They sent the whole suspension system. 2 new, heavier axles, springs, hubs, brakes etc. I had purchased an extended warranty and they picked up the entire labor cost for me. I have 5,500 towing miles on the trailer. I think the labor charge was around $500.
