Problems with accelerated tire wear on a 5th wheel travel trailer. I have a cedar creek 5th wheel model year 2003, manufactured 11.02, model # 30rlbs. The trailer has 5200# axles manufactured by al-kober and they are causing extreme tire wear on the inside edges of the tires. Have spoken to al-ko and they deny any problems but it has been detailed on quite a few web sites that they had a manufacturing problem for a period of time and that the visual aspect of the problem is rapid wear on the inside edges of tires causing blow outs and damage and safety issues due to these defects. I have spoken to cedar creek, steve hicks, and he agrees that there is a problem and has sent me replacement axles no charge but i think that al-kober should be investigated and forced to replace the damaged components and replace the tired damaged by this defect and possibly causing major safety issues. I still have the old axles and the tires are still on the trailer as i only make 1 major trip each year, putting less than 3,000 miles each year on unit.
Drove over two or three rough bridges.leaf springs on left side of trailer flattened & lost their support, causing the tires to rub on underside of trailer with a breaking action to that side, causing travel trailer to go out of control. Trailer was declared a total loss by insurance company due to bent frame after loss of control. No one was injured nothing was hit nothing hit trailer. I feel there should be a stop on the underside of every travel trailer on the road, to stop the axle before the tire can break on the underside of any trailer. This is not only a danger to people towing trailers but to everyone driving on the roadways.
