Example complaints
One per model year, chosen for length and detail. Personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
2018: “Mine is a 5th wheel trailer. It had 7k lb lippert axles from the factory. All four inside seals leaked and got grease on the brake drums and shoes. The trailer brakes didn't work from the first day I got the trailer. I ended up changing out the axles with dexter 8k lb axles with never lube bearings so I would never have this problem again. I found out lippert was reimbursing for this repair. What do I need to do to qualify?”
