Also good to know. If a gfci reset doesn't fix, I'll have to pull the outlet to see any splices. A cursory glance under the sink only showed the romex disappearing into the wall through a much too large cutout.

It seems obvious in retrospect. That that's a gfci. I looked at it in the shade, black outlet, didn't see a reset, drove on. Camper has been retired to museum status at a lake 50 miles from house. Will report back in 5 days. Thanks for the tip.

Stupid me plugged a high draw appliance into the exterior outlet on camper. Now no power at outlet, or the one under the upper cabinets in the kitchen. (I assume they are daisy chained together. ) Power has been cycled several times, all fuses pulled and checked for continuity, all CB's...

The original configuration on mine was 3.5k axles on a 7700# gvw trailer. Now 6k axles. Granted, now the next weakest link is likely to show itself, but potholes of the magnitude you're hypothesizing weren't encountered. At any rate, I'm of the mindset that marginal equipment was originally...

Money well spent. Can't begin to fathom the replies here that said to " bend the axles back" they bent once, why wouldn't they fail again? I couldn't be more pleased with the replacement axles. Mainly because now I don't have to think about them. Now have about 2k miles on.

Trailer has 2 short trips (1hr to two local campgrounds) on the new axles. Here's what I found: 1. Trailer rear no longer scrapes driveway when leaving or entering. 2. Trailer stability at campsite improved. 3. Bigger brakes. Less gain needed on controller Of course, I should have expected...

Anyone familiar with the reason the builder uses the black abs instead of PVC? The abs seems to be more brittle, and prone to cracking.

2nd axle in. Took 1 hr, 15 min total this time. 1st one was about 4 hours with the welding. Job done. Now I get to figure out why the electric pump leaks.

Welded spring perches on and painted. - - - Updated - - - Bolted in, connected wires for brakes, torqued u bolts, and it's back on 4 wheels. Ordering 2nd axle tomorrow.

And for those who think this camper was overgrossed, here's the two tires off the same axle. Left rear tire is worn, tight rear is not. I find it hard to believe I ran over something that caused this without knowing it.

That's a nope on the springs getting replaced. At least for now. I inspected them for broken leaf's, and/or losing arch. This trailer wasn't overgrossed, unless clothes, food, and dishes did it. (For two adults and one 11 y/o). When I contemplated just a straight replacement, I just started...

This is a completely custom installation, and not done yet, so bugs are being worked out as it goes. Remember: the original 3500# axles, of one bent from some unknown event, are going away. I have custom ordered and test fit one of two 6000# axles. The old ones were dexter, the new ones are...

Received 1st axle. - - - Updated - - - Got old one out. - - - Updated - - - New one in, but lippert defaults to underslung axles. Camber is incorrect for axles mounted under leaf's. Need to get two spring perches and weld to opposite sides, and flip. - - - Updated - - - Aaand, before...

The dealer set us up on hitch alignment when we bought the trailer. Nothing changed there, and it's still level. It also rarely travels with anything heavier than a 50% black tank and clothes for 3 people, so not sure how I could have overloaded it. As far as calling Dexter, at some point I'm...

I'm not understanding what you're saying here

This is my axle tag - - - Updated - - - The picture uploaded with poor resolution. It says 3500.

The BH270 gvwr is 7700. It came with 3500# axles, which I think is a mistake in the 1st place. 5200# was my next step, but the dealer said that was getting discontinued. 6k it is.

Got the word back from the dealer. Basically, go pound sand. Ordered 6k axles today. I'm not going to mess with these anymore. I'll be documenting the install with pics. If it goes well, I'll post them.

I've heard of bending it back, but wouldn't it bend again?

Got under the trailer and saw it plain as day. Back axle bowed down, front ok. Don't see cracked springs, but I won't rule out one flattening. I'll be calling the axle manufacturer, per the replies, and eyeballing the springs harder. The pic is hard to interpret, but the bottom is kicked...

Bought a 2016 BH270 Aug of 2018. Used, from a dealer. Good looking trailer, but the durability and build quality is really starting to show. I'm starting to realize why the previous owner got out and why we got such a deal. Plumbing leaks, and the obvious lack of care when build was happening...

I could see this whole mess buckling under the weight of an adult. I weigh 230, and would never have climbed in if I'd seen what passed for support under the tub. We got a 90 day warranty from the dealer, and thought we would take them up on it, but I can see myself fixing it prior to Nov 20...

Actually, with the minimal amount of wear indications, and the shower surround mfg sticker still in place, I believe it's quite possible the previous owner never used it. Not sure about the suggestion to put a dehumidifier in the "basement " where is that, and the "center wall"?

Had water coming out of tub, going across the floor, and out the belly membrane after taking a shower 2 weeks ago. Thought it my fault and installed splash guards in tub corners. Wife gave son a shower and saw water coming from UNDER tub. Pulled access panel and found the drain line not...

I had this too. Installed drip rail downspouts, but most importantly, covered each screwhead in the door frame with a blob of caulk. Water is going in around the screw head and shank. Next rain proved the fix worked.

Just bought a 2016 pioneer BH270, and noticed a propane quick connect down on the frame, right side, just forward of the front stabilizer jack. I traded a 2004 surveyor that had a RVQ that mounted to the side of the trailer on a rail, but I see no obvious good mount spot on the pioneer. Don't...

Hi all. 2nd trailer, traded a 2004 surveyor hybrid that we had 2014-present. Wife wasn't a fan of the tent. I was tiring of it too. Tow vehicle: 2015 6.4 hemi 2500. Looks like I'm not allowed to post pics.
