Re: Tire and axel failure in 2011 BRS28 - HELP!!!!!!!!! Hi again, they will not make an on-site call. They want us to find a Service place with a lic mechanic to do the work and they'll send him or her the replacement axles. They wont add anything toward the tires ruined by their defective...

Re: Tire and axel failure in 2011 BRS28 - HELP!!!!!!!!! The upgrade is too expensive for our BRS28 as other things would also have to be replaced if the axles are upgraded and that's going to run, with labor, in the area of $4,000 aprox.

There you go! :) And hitting dips in the road etc, or having to crawl over RR tracks is inevitable. All that weight comes down on the axles/tires no matter how careful people are not to overload or how carefully they cross things like RR tracks. Few roads are as dead level and dead straight as...

Good grief! Another person with the same problem. I can so relate to what you're going through. Heartland was very nice, but simply passed the buck to Lippert. And the more I read about Lippert the sicker I'm getting. After extensive reading last night, I don't care what anyone says, these...

They wont give us partial credit for the tires. We're stuck for replacing them. We're having some trouble finding a place to do the work for us. What do you mean "upgraded 3" tubes." Doesn't the BRS28 come with 3" tubes? That's good and a good idea. I bet they will indeed bend. Ours lasted...

Thanks, we do plan to replace the ruined tires with better ones. I don't understand what you mean. It's set so the TT and the TV are both level on level ground.

Yes, thank you. We have agreed to accept the 2 replacement axles from Lippert. But they will only send them to a Repair Shop. We now have to find such a place and take the chance of getting the RV there. We will have to pay for the ruined tires. Lippert will pay for 3 hours of labor.

Re: Tire and axle failure in 2011 BRS28 - HELP!!!!!!!!! Pictures Here are pics of 2 of the four tires. All are ruined and have less than 3000 miles on them. You can see the bent axle. If you Google Lippert recalls you will find hundreds of posts and information on the problems people have...

I spent 15 minutes earlier replying to you and because the Server was "busy" again, the entire post was lost. So I'll try this again. We travel as light as possible because we are towing with a GMC 1500. We have no choice but to "go lightly." After we resolve this problem we will weight the TT...

Re: Tire and axel failure in 2011 BRS28 - HELP!!!!!!!!! It looks like we will have to upgrade at our own expense also. Heatland feels they're not responsible for defective axles and the destroyed tires. Or that the payload is so small on this BRS28. They passed the buck to Lippert. We...

Re: Tire and axel failure in 2011 BRS28 - HELP!!!!!!!!! Thank you. I called Hartland and talked to a really nice man who told us what to do, what info we needed from the tags on the axels, and to take pics of the tires and bent axles. We have done everything he said. Now we have to call...

Re: Tire and axel failure in 2011 BRS28 - HELP!!!!!!!!! We don't know the name of the Axles. We don't know who made them. I suppose HL Customer Service would know. Also, where would we take the BRS to have them and the tires replaced? We're totally heartsick over this. :( We're...

Re: Tire and axel failure in 2011 BRS28 - HELP!!!!!!!!! Yes, we are the original owners and have not moved. My main fear is the TT being unusable (untowable) because of the dangerous condition of the tires and the bent axles. I will ask about the gaslines also. Sent from my iPhone...

Re: Tire and axel failure in 2011 BRS28 - HELP!!!!!!!!! Thank you. We will call that number with VIN # in hand. :) When I read of this problem 2 years ago I thought it was just someone complaining, a disgruntled buyer and there are just some people who complain about the smallest things...

I'm not sure what we can or should do. I ready read that the 28BRS NorthTrail had inadequate axles for the weight of the trailer. Well now we found out. :mad: After no more than 3000 miles both axles are bent and all four tires are BALD on the inner edge... all threads are GONE. The tires...

Where is the girl's room? I can't seem to find it on the list.

We added one of those shower rod pooch-outs from Camping World to give us more space in the shower. We also added a cat-door in the bathroom door so the cats can reach the litterpan in the bathtub when the bathroom door is closed. I also hung a colorful curtain across the bunk area for more...

Welcome to the Forum. :)

I checked the cat safety collars at PetsMart this past week and I see they do open easier than those I bought 4 years ago.

I hadn't noticed that we had one.

The people at the HL factory and at the dealers had no reason to unpack the the stuff in the microwave. The rings under the turntables are too big and stiff to miss with the packing. I don't believe they would have unpacked it. What reason would they have? The glass was loose in the microwave...

It's a bit complicated so I hope you can follow this: :) Our NT was ordered directly from HL by a FL dealer, but HL would not let DH pick it up at the factory in IN. We live in TN. HL sent our TT to a nearby dealer there in IN, where DH went to pick it up. That dealer in Elkhart called us up...

I don't know the brand but that's a good idea. After a year+ though, I doubt they'll do anything. I should have ignored my husband who is too passive about everything and got HL to send me a ring for the MW. :( I'm angry at myself for not doing it now. The dealer who took the RV from HL (they...

Of course dogs will kill livestock and wildlife. Anyone living in a rural area will tell you that unless they're very remote. Not every dog of course kills. That's why those dogs allowed to run loose are shot and killed here in TN. Where would I find the "facts" for the dog kills my neighbors...

What traffic. The field fence was on the farmette and not near the road. Why don't that surprise me? ;) You mean do the people here take gruesome pictures and post them online for the ghouls to see?

Here the coyotes take an occasional goat but people's dogs running loose kill more small livestock and calves than the coyotes. Fox here are a PIA to poultry keepers, but here again, people's dogs kill more than the fox.

Good grief! It's like an invasion. Where these pigs native here to start with or are they domestic pigs gone feral? It's a shame when any meat is wasted though with so many hungry people in this country.

There was no wrapping on the glass plate as mentioned in my other post tonight. The glass plate was just loose in the microwave, leaning against the side where someone left it before my husband picked up the TT. My husband was convinced it was supposed to balance on the turning pole. That made...

When I noticed it not there, the first thing I did was look in all the cabinets and draws. That's how and where I found the large manilla envelope of information for the TT. There is nothing under our oven. It's a closed in space. Another thing I thought was odd was when we bought the Zinger...

Then how on earth are their numbers increasing so quickly? Why the hog population explosion? They have no natural enemies other than man? Cougars and coyotes don't prey on the young hogs?

What beautiful deer. They're a joy to watch. The deer would jump right over my 4' field fence with the string of electric above the top. They would mingle with the goats at times but they mostly wanted their mineral and salt blocks. :) An adult deer can sail right over a 4'4" fence.

I'm glad to know the meat is being used for a good cause. :)

I told my husband a part was missing from the Microwave when he got home from Elkhart IN with our NT last year. The ring the glass turntable rides on was missing. The glass sits on the middle turning post and when food is placed on it, it flops around and hits the bottom as it turns. The glass...

These hogs are causing a real problem here in TN also. They're spreading like wildfire. I wonder if the meat is edible to most people. I would imagine it's a bit rank and tough. Can they be somehow slaughtered and donated to charity to even sold to slaughterhouses for resale in stores? Ground...

This is true in many areas but the food supply is what dictates their numbers increasing. The more food the bigger their litters and the better their survival rate. Too many people leave garbage out where they can reach it. Farmers and hunters dump offal where the coyotes can feed on it rather...

No you don't, or you would be using those clay pigeons, old beer and soda cans, pie plates........

You must have some special collars then as the ones sold in places like PetSmart, Petco, PetSupermarket, Wal*Mart et al take a horrific "sharp tug" or violent twist similar to what a medium size dog could do, or 25 lbs or more to release. My cats are no more than 12 to 13 lbs each. Far too...

Thanks... I finally did find it. :) I'll never be a whiz on these Forums. I was looking for Girl's Room and not Ladies. How can I have missed it? Now I have it on my quick bar in MozillaFireFox. :)

Too modern and too colorless for me.

Be very careful what you use as it can remove the "finish" or lighten the wallpaper behind it. I think I'm going to try and go over the horrible dark brown border in my NT with a more pleasing and colorful border. I can't stand looking at it anymore and can't find an "end" to start removing it...
