just the 2 that failed both on front axle.

Again thanks for all the replies. As it turned out both front tires had failed. Had them replaced yesterday. My next question is do I have any recourse either through heartland or bowman. They were less than 2 years old and less than 2000 miles on them ( just local camping trips)

thanks for all the replies sounds like from reading all of them I have a tire about to go ill need to get that checked as soon as possible. I crawled around underneath the trailer and looked at the suspension and did not notice anything out of ordinary. The tires and wheels are original...

it is a little nose high not much. I was thinking along those lines to and was planning on lowering my hitch to the next lower bolt holes if i still have enough clearance with my bed. i cant be more than an inch high in the front though i would of thought the suspension would take care of...

while on a recent trip the folks we were traveling with told me the front wheels were bouncing on my 5th wheel. at the time i was doing about 60 mph on smooth road. what could be the cause of this. i have a 2014 elkridge 29RKSA

Ive had both air bags and timbrens. I had the timbrens on a 2001 F250 super duty and they worked fine with a hitch weight of about 2800lbs. I installed with the spacer so they were in contact all the time loaded or unloaded. the sag when hitched up was only about a half an inch to 3/4 of an...

well got around to checking it out this week. pulled the switch and had no power so started tracing the bundle of wires back and found a inline 30 amp fuse. wasn't sure if I was on right wires or not but pulled fuse and sure enough it was blown. replaced and front landing gear worked...

Thanks for the replies. and thanks for the tip danemayer, the phone is a great idea I usually draw myself a picture on stuff like that.

landing gear had been working fine as of last month with both remote fob and rocker switch on side of camper until last trip we took. this week the rocker switch would not raise or lower at all no sound of trying but worked fine with the remote fob. my first thought is switch is bad since fob...

we camp in winter months in Carolinas all the time and for 28 degrees I normally don't do anything special. if expecting mid 20s I use a tarp or sometimes just leaves to cover my water line. if low 20s or below then I unhook water line like said above. one day im going to get one of those...

I just got rid of my 2001 because of transmission issues and the fact the I was right at max on GVW but over by about 1500 on the pin weight, not to mention firewood, propane tank, and wood blocks and boards for leveling. I would guess you are in the neighborhood of being overweight by close to...

thanks all, i dont figure ill really know what kind of mileage i will get untill i get at least 5k miles on it.

So far I cant figure this dang picture thing out. As far as fuel mileage Bones, im only on my 3rd tank of fuel now and part of the 2nd included some towing and part of the one im on now some towing. The first tank that was filled at dealership I got 13.7 on the second that I filled I got 15.9...

Well as promised I would report back how it went. New truck finally arrived about 2 weeks ago and spent first week getting the break in miles on it even though I really don't believe its needed before towing. did a short camping trip this past week to try out new truck and to get a warranty...

Just sold my 2001 F250 super duty diesel with 135,000 mi on it. still had original brakes and plenty of life left in them. I think driving style has more to do with brake wear than anything else.
