Just found this post. I too had issues with the Lippert axles. Camber completely wankers. Scrapped 4 tires within 2500 miles. Contacted dealer and through them I was able to deal directly with Lippert. I told them I thought their 3500lbs axles were on the weak side and if possible I wanted an...

Good insight everyone. Well, each lower rung of each hinges set is running smooth now, as compared to just after lubrication when they were still notchy, I guess the juice got in far enough. Will now coat with that Lithium and see how that works long(ish) term. As stated, will lube once a...

The situtation seems to be resolved :).....for now :(. Happykraut:....cannot use drift punch as the rod is pressed/stamped in a domed shape at both ends. I think the only way to get that rod out would be to Dremel-like cut off the bottom dome , then you could use the punch. This would involve...

Hello everyone, The front and rear side entrance doors are squeaking and groaning from lack of lubrication on the hinges, yep, my fault!!!!! never thought of doing it. Have squirted Liquid Wrench into the joints/pivots to no avail. So, like anyone else I'll squirt some juice down from the top...

Re: LWMCGUIR-----24RBS, wheel lug torque. LWMCGUIR, We are having computer issues and I cannot open pdf files. Arghhhhhh!!!!!:mad: Would be kind enough to print/post the torque settings for: 1/2= 9/16= 5/8= Thanks in advance, DavidB.

Thanks Tejay, Should have an answer later next week re suspension and components set up, as you say broken spring(s) and alignment. I too have the bias tires and not in love with them. Will try to go to radials in a few months. Thanks again, DavidB.

Thanks Ray, but we may be a little too far for a heater duct problem, we're in the Estero area...but you're welcome to come down anyway for a beer ;);). When I have moment, I'll start pulling off panels. It's a 2012 24 RBS. DavidB.

These last few night here in south Florida have been quite cold. Fired up the old (new) furnace and found that there is no heat coming out of the bathroom floor vent. Have read/heard about this in other threads/post on the forum but cannot find it. Seems like it's pretty common problem. Is it...

Thanks Tejay for the prompt answer, I've noticed some cupping and wear issues on all 4 tires, only 2849 miles. I have an appointement on the 9th of Jan. for to take a look at the suspension and at the same time, will have the tires balanced. On our old trailer ('98 Prowler 24 LZ), from...

Tejay and lwmcguir (thanks for the chart--excelent reference). Both of you guys are great. (Left torque wrench at home :o:o, will borrow from another camper). Merci encore, DavidB.

Hi Teejay, Read in the tire rotation thread that you retorque the lug nuts, as it should be. I have the mags on our 24 RBS. For the life of me, I cannot find the correct torque settings. Having asked 3 different dealers and getting 3 different answers, I thought that you might know. Thanks...

Hi Teejay, Just read in another post that you installed 4 shocks on your 24RBS. I plan to do the same. Have you noticed a differance in ride or wear on tires or suspension? and if so, how. Would it be possible for you to post the make and model of the shocks. And the attachement...

Thank you for your replies. We've decided to upgrade to the "adjustable" model offered by Carefree. The standard awning is almost worthless in my opinion. Very little shade, easy target for the wind and no pich. If it's too windy or rainy you must retract or suffer the possible consequences...

Hello everyone. Need to know some specifics re the electric awning on the 2012 24-RBS: 1) Brand name and model. 2) a-is it, flat pitch? b-is it, steep pitch? c-is it, adjustable pitch? Also, would like your comments, good or bad, re these electric awnings, not just on the 24-RBS, but...
