: Motorhome axles on a trailer? Flatty 07-15-2003, 07:16 PM I just got my new trailer, and it has motorhome axles under it./ I heard they are not great, but the guy that had it before me fixed the brake issues. Are there any other things I should be wary about? Thanks DImitri FYRMAN 07-16-2003, 01:53 PM Look through Bill's tech articles. Search through here too. We've talked about it. :D Congrats on the trailer. Ben W 07-16-2003, 02:41 PM You'll get more hits if you search for mobile home axles, rather than motorhome. Supergper 07-16-2003, 06:08 PM change them out ASAP IMO...we have them on some of our trailers at work and we are always loosing wheels...PITA postal 07-18-2003, 07:40 AM Never had any problem with mine. I just check the wheel mounting bolts now and then, but just for peace of mind, never have come loose. It's for sale now.

Should be noted though, mobile home axles are technically only legal for the one trip of the average mobile homes life. Not for use under a standard trailer.

I believe that he said he found Motor Home axles....not mobile home......There is a difference..

Lets see a picture of theses so called motorhome axles. Most of the motorhomes I've seen have a Dana 60, 70 or Corporate 14 bolt under them. infoford 07-21-2003, 03:23 PM hmm they could be the tag axle from under a motorhome but I am leaning towards mobile home axles under his trailer myself best way to tell if they have the daton style wheel mount or large 5 spoke hub and the rims and tires are of the 14.5 size post a picture of em | |
