Re: Damaged Camper and Landing Gear
The second crack I found after removing the wheel from the trailer. I dribbled water around the bead of the tire and the overflow ran down the side of the wheel and I could see the air bubbles. Without the water running over it you could not see it because it was so fine.

Glad your stress is behind you and that there was a satisfactory outcome. Wouldn't it be nice if all businesses stepped up and took responsibility for their actions, lawyers would starve to death.

Thanks Roller4tan. I will take the wheel off this weekend and spray it with soapy water looking for a leak before I call warranty.

Re: Damaged Camper and Landing Gear
Not sure. I just brought the camper back from storage to do some work and I checked the tire and it is sitting at 50 psi now. I filled it up Sunday. I will pull it off this weekend and put the spare on and try to see what is wrong with the thing. I don't hear any hissing and I don't see anything in the tire.

Tredit provides the rims for Heartland. They have a lifetime guarantee. Context them, they have a fairly easy process to get a new one, and will reimburse for installation (but not balancing).

Well......................
We have been out for one full season and lots of use after this incident. Some things are ok some are not however the camper was repaired and is in good working order. Heartland has been wonderful to deal with on any warranty items that came up over the last year. Lippert stepped up and went out to inspect the frame to make sure it was in good working order. I have had a year to think about this and even though I was quite pis**d off and might never forget, the dealership did repair the camper. We are dealing with some minor things now but so far nothing that would prevent a lost trip. Knock on wood. I will unfortunately always keep my fingers crossed that we don't have something lurking in the shadows hidden until it rears it's ugly head.
I would like to extend a very warm thank you to all the Heartlanders on this thread and off this thread who assisted us in getting through this issue and keeping us reminded that in the end this is only a bump in the road of the camping life and we will look back on this incident and laugh while sitting around the camp fire roasting marshmallows.
Again, Thank you
