Too bad the lemon law doesn't apply to RV's .I'd trade it in and take the loss. Why even hassle it.

Sounds like you are just unhappy with the entire camper. If that's the case, no matter how it's fixed or repaired, or no how much money you invest in it, time and work, you'll never be truly happy with it. Trade it and take the loss.

If traveling in California look into the towing laws before considering a horse trailer modification.

Just to throw out some more ideas: Are there any holding tanks aft of the axles that could be moved forward? This would allow shifting more weight to the tongue without actually getting heavier.
Before deciding on a truck camper and enclosed trailer, I also strongly considered car haulers with living quarters over RV style toy haulers. I liked the robustness of their builds and smaller draft behind the tow vehicle. I don't blame for looking these and wanting one.

How much would adding a 3rd axle run you and what's your estimated loss if you trade it in? Taking the emotion out of it and just let the numbers talk and see.
I doubt you'll be happy even if you add the 3rd axle and doubt you'll recover that expense when you go to sell it.

Depends on how much money that you would lose. If it is a bunch and you can do the work I would repair and fix it the way that you want it. I have a friend who added another axle to a 5th w that had a salvage title and needed lots of work. Friend is retired Engineer . He repaired and put another axle under it. That was over 5 years ago and three trips to Alaska and 16 States this summer. He said it was the best thing that he ever did. The 5th w looks like a new one
and tows like a dream {34 ft} He paid $3,500 for it
I would stand to loose in the $3-5K range. typical loss of new off the lot.
I could add the axle for around a $1200 or less.
