2nd Trip a success.

Just got back from three day trip to Mount Lassen Volcanic National Park/Shingletown, CA. We left on Friday afternoon and it took about three hours or so to get there (KOA). Great RV park by the way. Going up, we had no problems whatsoever. Everything worked out perfectly and we had a blast. Today however it started raining about 5 AM and didn't stop till we got on the road about 10 AM. I don't like tearing everything down in the rain by the way. On the trip back it seems like the TT was making a lot of noise out of the springs. We have a single axel 19' TT. We stopped along the highway to see if I could replecate the noise by jumping up and down on the tongue and the rear bumper. And it seems that is where it's coming from. Also, I noticed that the tires are turning inward from the top. We are not overloading the TT at all. Small short trip like this do not require that much gear, just enough to make up comfortable. I check the lugs before each trip just as the owners manual says. Everything is good there. But it's an obvious tilt in, not much but you can see it.

So my question is, should I get it looked at? Or is this normal for a single axel TT? It's a 2013 Forest River Wildwood X-Lite. Thanks for the help.

Thanks to you both. Yes it's still very much under warranty. It's currently outside the house before we take it to storage till the next trip. We have a ton of cleaning to do to it before we put it up. The rain played havoc with it's whiteness. I'll get under it and take a look and see what I can find. I'll let you know what I come up with.

Thanks again.

It may ok but it's not a chance I would take so I would have it looked at! The last thing you need is a leaf spring falling off at 65 MPH on the highway. If you are really handy take a good look around and see if you can spot an issue. 9 times out of 10 I already know the issue before taking something to have work done on it and then I let them tell me what is wrong.....If the dealer gives me a bogus report I tell him to shove it and take my business to someone who is honest. If you don't know what to look for than ask around and get others opinions on a dealer before taking it in to have it serviced. Let us know how this turns out.
