2007 Dutchmen Colorado Suspension Problems

“2007 Dutchmen Colorado 5th wheel. 28ft. Trailer is not lifted up high enough on chassis. Tires are rubbing underneath the trailer and on the fender wells. Enough so that we are afraid to pull our unit anymore. More rubbing on the tires is going to cause a tire failure while trailering, causing a blowout on the roadway, which could cause a major accident, injuring or killing ourselves or other motorists. Our unit is not overloaded, and has the correct tires according to placards on the vehicle. …”

“While conducting a pre trip inspection on my rv I found that the rear tires were wearing on the inside. I weighed my rv and was well under my axle ratings. I took a close look at the axles and saw that the spindle welds look like they were welded improperly. It appears that too much heat was applied at the end of the weld and the weld fell through inside the axle pipe leaving a flat spot and about 1 to 2 inch runs the runs look like paint runs but are steel runs that did not penetrate and can be broken off by hand. …”

“2007 Dutchmen Colorado with several problems. Consumer states that the rv has been in the shop 5 times and has had 27 repairs made. Some of which are the sewer drain draining upward instead of downward, water leaks in the front and rear of the rv. There was a problem with the axle which was causing tire wear. The roof leaked, there were sewer tank problems, the seals were separating, the bunkhouse door would not stay shut during transit and the sliding door to the bedroom would not stay closed. .”
