Thank you all for the advice. I had the dealer send photos of the tires to Heartland as well. Hopefully we’ll get a quick answer as travel season is here but I can’t pre plan any long trips until we get the issues with the axles resolved. May do a short trip about 20 miles from home for Memorial...

Update: Took the trailer back to the dealer at Camping World. The dealer confirmed both axles are bent and are under rated for the trailer weight. They are submitting the issue to Heartland along with photos of the damage to the tires caused by the cambered wheels ridding on bent and under rated...

2018 Heartland Fuel 335 w/25k miles in tow. I’m wearing tires & bearings out. Dry weight is 13,500lbs. GVWR is 17000lbs. Just pulled the hubs to replace bearings & install new tires and discovered to my horror the trailer came from factory with 6000lb axles. The placard on the rv says 7000lb...

Thats interesting. Where did you find the plastic version with bed ridges?

Yes. Top bolt gets torqued & then torqued again after the weight of the trailer is hooked up then the side bolts are torqued. Anderson is now recomending a rubber mat for any trucks that have the factory puck system. The four corners of the hitch base will sometimes rest on the edges of the...

I do have a rubber mat which we added after the issue started. I am headed on a 3000 mile trip in two days so we’ll see how things go with the new hitch replacement.

Update for Anderson issue. First let me say the folks at Anderson are great to work with. We took some measurements & determined the sleeve that covers the gooseneck ball is sliding up and down. This after they had me torc it to 60lbs and then 70lbs. When we pulled it out we found the set bolts...

My front slide in the bed room is a schwintek. It’s a small slide containing the closet. It is out of sync at the bottom. The top closes fine but the bottom has a 1.5” gap when closed. In the closed position from inside the RV you can see the slide is leaning forward. I counted teeth on the...

thank you. Yes. All tires are max 110 psi

Thank you. I have pulled fifth wheels before. You have some interesting advice. Anderson has me torq all three bolts down, hook the trailer up then loosen all three off and then tighten back down. Your process is slightly different so I’ll try it your way. I’ve wondered about the hitch sitting...

Thanks. Yes, the same issue occurs with trailer empty/unloaded.

Rate this Entry 0 Comments Looking for help from any Anderson Hitch Owners. I’ve got a 2017 6.7 Ram 3500 SRW - long bed (factory ball & puck system) with Anderson Ultimate Hitch. Pulling 43’ Heartland Fuel (15,500lbs) when loaded with toys. I have the factory solid Lippert Kingpin that came...

I’m glad you mentioned this. I checked under my Fuel Toy Hauler today & discovered I have no support of any kind under my black water tank. For nine months I’ve been trying to figure out why I cant get the black tank to empty all the way. Always have a couple gallons left in there. Now I know...

Im planning to add a tank to my 17 Ram 3500. May seem like a dumb question but with the gravity feed on you ram, do you have to worry about the gravity feed tank forcing fuel out of the main tank filler neck when both tanks are full? Also, how does this affect your fuel gauge & miles to empty...

YES! I have a Fuel as well. Where to start with all the issues? Let’s start with the automatic transfer switch catching fire because the ground wire was installed wrong & shorted out. Luckily I was in the trailer when it burst into flames & was able to get to it by ripping the walls out of the...

Thanks for the info. Trailers less than a year old so a sagging tank would be frustrating but your suggestions makes sense. When the weather warms up I’ll try to pull the undercarriage back & look for that issue. Perhaps I might be able to install an extra brace if needed.

Anyone one else have issues getting the black water tank to completely empty? No issues with valves or sewer pipe. The tank will drain to a point that appears to be empty. Then connecting hose & doing a sanitize rinse works with valve open and closed. Several cycles until water drains clear but...
