Example complaints
Suspension: “The trailer blew tires on opposite sides traveling on I-35 in a straight direction, in one week. Repair service said that the bearing had failed with no replacements available new axles would need purchased. I found replacement bearings and now the service provider says the hubs are bad.

Multiple failures of these axles and Lippert have not issued a recall. My trailer lost the wheel from the axle, with the brake drum still attached to the wheel. Fortunately, we were not traveling at highway speed. Tire rolled underneath the trail causing damage to the side and underside of trailer. Lippert are aware of these constant axle failures and their solution is to sell you two axles for the price of one. 3-to-4-week delivery! …”

They did install (have since stopped installation) axles with sealed bearing systems as part of the frame build. In reading numerous message boards (and through personal experience) these are extremely prone to failure and failure while traveling on the highway could cause fires, loss of control of trailer, and possible wheel separation from trailer (for more experiences search for sealed bearing system on the web). …”
