Default Re: axle problems

We own a 2012 Visa 19 ERD.
Our unit went through all of the reported problems.

The axle is borderline for weight.
The tires are bias-ply....we replaced with radial.
Lippert axle was poorly built...We had ours bent to spec. by a local frame shop.
Aligned rather than another OEM failure.
Cannot put larger tires on without upgrading wheels and axle.
We installed factory lift kit at our cost.
Axle is bolted to frame flanges and not movable without slotting holes.

After long battle through our dealer Visa did reimburse us for new tires and the
cost of alignment.

Tire wear is now minimal,new riding height helps by not tearing off stabilizers.

We love our Visa for size and features but we always have thoughts of tire/wheel/axle
failure going down the road.

We probably will replace this unit when $$$ permit.
