Triple axle

Hey Huck,

Triple axle might be alright but I'm not a big fan of them as they put a lot of side load on bearings, wheels, tires and suspension due to the scuffing during turning.

In the case with Drv and their lack of engineering talent the triple axle option didn't work so well as they just tagged a third axle on behind the first two which increased the pin weight and did not make the axle carry enough of the load which aggravated the problem even more.


There are some triples out there I have a friend that has a Holiday Rambler with triples and it works fine for him. He does not full time or pull his trailer a lot. He doesn't have to worry about being to heavy on his axles tires or wheels.

I met Heath from Wheels RV in Springdale Ar while I was at the show as I recall he has a good track record here on the forum. He was very pleasant and sympathetic to my dilemma and offered to take care of any warranty or other issues that I may come across.

As always good camping

Jerry
