Broken Spring
We found a curb side fwd axle broken leaf spring when we arrived today. No issues towing or visible, until I did a routine look under to check out things.
It broke about 6" aft of the fwd hanger. The rest of the spring pack was pushed up inside the hanger against the broken stub at an angle against the frame.
We were very luck where it broke and it didn't go all out of wack and cause huge problems.
2005 38RL3 magnum susp
8K Dexter axles with Trailair CP
The spring that broke is on the lightest wheel. As scaled by Stacey.
Total axle wt 13500 lbs.
Total trailer wt loaded 17600 lbs
I am off in the AM in search of a new spring so I can change it out and get back on our way.
I spoke with the after hrs service guy at Lippert, and they can ship me one if I can't find one. No warranty coverage though. 2 yrs only. I thought 5yrs on frame and suspension, but he said only 2.
