Re: Need new tires ALREADY!
Thanks CarolinaHokie. They are reattaching my sub-flooring right now. When they get the floor done, they will get the axles upgraded. I have to say, the service department may not be very quick, but they do look after their clients.

Re: Need new tires ALREADY!
Dropped off the 280QBS at the dealer and right next to it was a 280QBS with 5200# axles on it. When I questioned the service manager, he informed me that they replaced the axles on that one last year. It was back, because it was still wearing the rear tires in an abnormal pattern. I was told that they would make sure that my axles were upgraded and the tires replaced, just like they have done with the previous units they have had to repair. Just remember when dealing with the RV Dealer, they didn't build it, and they only get paid to fix the problems if the factory approves the repairs. That said, you want to find a Dealer who will stand up for you too.

Re: Need new tires ALREADY!
I just finished our last camping trip of the year, which put us at 1200 miles on our brand new 280 Shadowcruiser. When I arrived at the campground, I noticed that the rear tires were tilting in on the top. I checked from the rear and you can see the axle bowed down. I will be taking the unit back in this weekend. I am hoping that I can get the heavier axles upgrade, as I don't intend to go through this a second time.
